Dear Mr. Lange:
Re: Follow-up to Telecom Decision CRTC 2005-61 – Customer notification requirements for local VoIP service providers with respect to 9-1-1 emergency services
Pursuant to paragraphs 9 and 15 of Follow-up to Emergency services obligations for local VoIP service providers, Decision 2005-21 – Customer notification requirements, Telecom Decision CRTC 2005-61, 20 October 2005 (Decision 2005-61), local VoIP service providers are required to submit to the Commission their proposed customer notification texts, prior to their use, for Commission review.

US Internet filed revisions to its proposed customer notification text with respect to its local VoIP 9-1-1 emergency service on 16 December 2009. Commission staff has reviewed the customer notification text and determined that US Internet’s filing will require a minor correction to be fully compliant with the directives under Decision 2005-61.
