Re: Tariff Notice 56 – New section 2.14.4 to 9-1-1 Public Emergency Reporting Service (PERS)
Dear Ms. Bégin:
On 5 July 2011, the Commission received an application from Téléphone Milot Inc., under cover of Tariff Notice (TN) 56, in which the company proposed revisions to section 2.14 of its General Tariff, 9-1-1 Public Emergency Reporting Service (PERS). Specifically, the company proposed to include the limitations on 9-1-1 service provided through the local service over optical fibre. The company identified its application as a Group B tariff filing.
On 18 May 2011, the Commission received an application from Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership (Bell Aliant) under Part 1 of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure. In that application, Bell Aliant sought to obtain from the Commission clarifications and instructions on Telecom decisions 2005-21 and 2005-61, particularly on the notification requirements with regard to the limitations on 9-1-1 services provided through a fibre-to-the-home service.
Given that the Commission’s decision on Bell Aliant’s application could impact the proposed tariff revisions, the Commission is suspending its consideration of Téléphone Milot Inc.
TN 56 until it has ruled on Bell Aliant’s application under Part 1.
Accordingly, the Commission will be unable to dispose of TN 56 and related amendments within 45 business days of receipt of the application. The Commission expects to issue a final decision on this application, as well as any subsequent amendments, within 30 days of its ruling on Bell Aliant’s application.
Yours sincerely,
