Re: Part 1 application by Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership (Bell Aliant) requesting clarification regarding customer notification requirements for local VoIP services
On 18 May 2011 Bell Aliant filed a Part 1 application with the Commission seeking clarification on the notification and express consent requirements that apply to fixed/native local VoIP service, set-out in Telecom Decision 2005-21 and Telecom Decision 2005-61.
In light of the issues raised by Bell Aliant in its application, parties are invited to submit additional information by responding to the following interrogatory by 15 July 2011.
In its application, Bell Aliant asks the Commission to confirm that the requirement to provide customer notification and obtain express consent regarding limitations in
9-1-1/E9-1-1 service, apply only to limitations specific to 9-1-1/E9-1-1 provided by nomadic/non-native VoIP and not to limitations of fixed/native VoIP that are characteristic of the service as a whole.
In support of this position, Bell Aliant and the other parties raised several arguments as to why imposing these requirements for customer notification and express consent on fixed/native VoIP service providers are unnecessary and inappropriate.
In light of these comments, provide your view as to whether, if the Commission finds that the existing requirements do apply to fixed/native VoIP service providers, these requirements should be removed.
Parties are reminded that where a document is to be filed or served by a specific date, the document must be actually received, not merely sent, by that date.
Yours sincerely,
Mario Bertrand
Director, Competition Implementation and Technology
Telecommunications
