Re: TELUS Communications Company -  Application for clarification and expedited relief concerning the manner in which Bell Canada intends to implement Telecom Decision 2010-908

In a letter dated 7 January 2011, TELUS Communications Company (TCC) requested that the Commission issue certain directions to Bell Canada regarding its call blocking practices as they relate to the Commission’s determinations in Telecom Decision 2010-908.

TCC noted that the Commission’s directions in Telecom Decision 2010-908 regarding
long-distance call routing to small incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs), as well as those permitting Bell Canada to block certain long-distance calls, will come into effect on
2 February 2011.  As a result, TCC requested that the Commission provide relief on an expedited basis.

In light of TCC’s request for expedited relief, Bell Canada, as well as any other party wishing to comment on TCC’s application, is to file comments with the Commission no later than
24 January 2011.  TCC is to file reply comments no later than 26 January 2011.

Parties are also requested to provide comments in their submissions on whether or not there is a need to extend the 2 February 2011 date upon which Bell Canada may begin blocking certain long-distance calls to small ILECs’ customers, as per Telecom Decision 2010-908.

Where a document is to be filed or served by a specific date, the document must be actually received, and not merely sent, by that date.

Yours sincerely,
