Re: Follow-up to Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2011-703 – Outstanding Rating Issue (Rogers Tariff Notice 19) and Revised TPIA Service Agreement

In Billing practices for wholesale residential high-speed access services, Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2011-703, 15 November 2011, the Commission noted that certain network providers may incur additional service order costs related to the provision of services to independent service providers. Accordingly, the Commission determined that under the approved capacity model the service charge rate associated with the network capacity in 100 Mbps increments will apply on a per-order basis, independent of the number of increments.

The Commission also directed Rogers Communications Partnership (RCP) to file for approval, by 19 December 2011, tariffs and supporting cost studies for the proposed service charge rate.

The Commission is in receipt of RCP’s tariff application and, to expedite the rate review and approval process, RCP is to respond to the attached interrogatories by: 16 January 2012. These responses are to be received, and not merely sent, by this date.

In its response, RCP is to disclose, on the public record, the occurrence rates (column b) and the time estimates (column f) for each sub-activity to be identified in Table 1 of the attachment. Commission staff notes that it has previously required the disclosure of similar competitor-only costing information in a Commission staff letter dated 12 May 2910, in the proceeding associated with Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership Tariff Notice (TN) 269 and Bell Canada TN 7205¹.

Yours sincerely,
