RE: Tariff Notice 39 – Local Service Request rejection charge
Dear Sir:
The Commission received an application, dated 5 August 2011, by Quebecor Media Inc., on behalf of its affiliate Videotron (Videotron), in which the company proposed modifications to its Access Services Tariff in order to introduce a Local Service Request (LSR) rejection charge. In its application, Videotron indicated that this Tariff Notice (TN) was filed pursuant to Telecom Order CRTC 2009-805, Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership and Bell Canada – Introduction of Local Service Request Rejection Charge, 23 December 2009 (Telecom Order 2009-805).
On 31 May 2011, the Commission received an application from Bragg Communications Inc., operating as EastLink (EastLink) under Part 1 of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure. In that application, EastLink sought to obtain from the Commission clarification on Telecom Decision CRTC 2010-680, CISC Business Process Working Group – Consensus report BPRE079a – Reduction of local service request rejections, 10 September 2010 (Telecom Decision 2010-680). Amongst other things EastLink requested clarification on whether Telecom Decision 2010-680 disposed of the CISC report and therefore made effective the Commission’s determination in Telecom Order 2009-805, that approval of the introduction of LSR rejection charges for Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership and Bell Canada would be effective 90 days from the disposition of the CISC report.
Given that the Commission’s decision on EastLink’s application could impact its determination of Videotron’s proposed tariff, the Commission is suspending its consideration of Videotron TN 39 until it has ruled on EastLink’s Part I application.
Accordingly, the Commission will be unable to dispose of TN 39 and related amendments within 45 business days of receipt of the application. The Commission intends to issue its determinations on this application, as well as any subsequent amendments, after the Commission’s determinations on EastLink’s Part I application are issued.
Yours sincerely,
‘Original signed by S. Bédard’
