RE: Tariff Notice 247 – Various Tariff items
On 20 January 2011, the Commission received an application by Saskatchewan Telecommunications (SaskTel), under Tariff Notice 247, in which the company proposed changes to its General Tariff to
(1) destandardize and withdraw item 300.05 – Feature Package Service;
(2) introduce item 300.10 – Feature Package Service; and
(3) change rates in item 150.15 – SmartTouch Subscription Service.
By way of a letter dated 26 January 2011, Commission staff informed SaskTel that the Commission will deal with its application following the process outlined in Decision 2008-74 for applications for the destandardization and/or withdrawal of tariffed services.
In its application, SaskTel attached a copy of the notices to affected customers. Commission staff notes that SaskTel did not include the appropriate information about how an affected customer can participate in the Commission’s process. In particular, SaskTel wrongly invited customers to direct their comments to a non-existing email address and to Commission’s phone numbers.
SaskTel is requested to re-issue its notices to all affected customers, including the correct information about how an affected customer can participate in the Commission’s process.
Interventions on SaskTel’ application may be filed within 30 business days of this letter using one of the following methods:
