RE: Tariff Notice 27 – Local network interconnection and component unbundling
Dear Sir:
On 9 September 2011, the Commission received the above-mentioned tariff notice submitted by Wightman Telecom Ltd (Wightman). In its application, Wighman indicated that the proposed tariff reflects services requested by EastLink to enter Wightman’s serving territory as a competitive local exchange carrier. The company submitted that its application was a Group B retail tariff filing pursuant to Approval processes for tariff applications and intercarrier agreements, Telecom Information Bulletin CRTC 2010-455, 5 July 2010 (Information Bulletin 2010-455).
Commission staff considers that this application does not meet the definition of a Group B retail tariff filings as indicated in Information Bulletin 2010-455 as it does not deal with services provided to retail customers, but with services that would be provided only to competitors. For purposes of efficiency, the Commission will process this application as a Competitor tariff filing rather than close the file and require the company to re-file it as a new application.
ccordingly, the application will not receive interim approval on the 15th calendar day after it was received but will follow the procedures described in Information Bulletin 2010-455 for Competitor tariffs:
- Interested parties may file interventions within 30 calendar days of the filing date of an application; and
- the applicant may file reply comments within 10 calendar days of the deadline for filing interventions.
The Commission intends to dispose of this application, along with all associated subsequent revisions, at the time it will render its determination on Wightman’s implementation plan for local competition. Consequently, this application, along with all associated subsequent revisions, will not be disposed of within 45 calendar days of their receipt.
Yours sincerely,
‘Original signed by S. Bédard’
