RE: Broadcasting and Telecom Regulatory Policy 2009-430, Requirement to provide Internet Protocol Relay Service
Dear Sir/Madam
In Accessibility of telecommunications and broadcasting services, Broadcasting and Regulatory Policy CRTC 2009-430, 21 July 2009 (Regulatory Policy 2009-430), the Commission directed all local exchange carriers, including wireless competitive local exchange carriers, and Voice over the Internet Protocol providers that are required to provide Teletypewriter (TTY) Relay Service to provide Internet Protocol (IP) Relay Service, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by 21 July 2010. The Commission stated that, as with TTY Relay Service, telecommunications service providers may meet the obligation to provide IP Relay Service by providing the service directly or by outsourcing the provision of the service to a third-party. Further, by 21 July 2010, all references to "message relay service" in the existing relay service requirements set out in previous Commission decisions were to be read to include both TTY Relay Service and IP Relay Service.
By way of letter dated 3 May 2010, TELUS Communications Company (TCC) requested a delay in the implementation date of its retail IP Relay service and indicated that it was developing a wholesale IP Relay service, which would delay the implementation date for other telecommunication service providers (TSPs). In its letter of 25 June 2010 entitled Implementation of Internet Protocol (IP) Relay Services – CRTC determination on TELUS’s Request for Extension, the Commission approved TCC’s request for a delay in the implementation date for its retail IP Relay deadline to 21 September 2010 and a delay in the implementation date of IP Relay for all other LECs to 31 December 2010.
In that letter, the Commission, among other things:
- required all incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) who had filed proposed tariffs for their IP Relay service, to file proposed tariff amendments reflecting the revised effective date of the service no later than 30 days before the proposed effective date; and
- directed all large and small ILECs who had not yet filed tariffs for IP Relay service, to file proposed tariffs no later than 30 days before the proposed effective date of the service.
Commission staff notes that it has not yet received proposed tariff amendments for the provision of IP Relay Service from the companies listed on the distribution list. These companies are to file the appropriate amendments as soon as possible, and no later than 10 December 2010. If a change to the effective date is required, proposed changes to the effective date should be requested by way of a letter, providing justification for the requested change and referencing the file number indicated above.
Yours sincerely,
