Re: Follow-up to Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2011-703 – Pending rate issues (Tarif Notice 41 - Vidéotron) and the revised TPIA service agreement.
With respect to Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2011-703 regarding billing practices for wholesale residential high-speed access services, dated 15 November 2011, the Commission noted that certain network providers could incur additional per-order costs in providing service to independent providers. Consequently, the Commission determined that, under the approved capacity model, the service charge rate would be applied on a per-order basis, independent of the number of increments of 100 Mbps.
The Commission also required Quebecor Media Inc. (Vidéotron) to file for approval, by
19 December 2011, the tariffs and cost studies for the proposed service charge rates.
The Commission has received Vidéotron's tariff application and in order to expedite the rate review and approval process, Vidéotron must respond to the attached interrogatories by 16 January 2012. The responses to the interrogatories must be received, not merely sent, by this date.
In its response, Vidéotron is required to disclose, on the public file, the occurrence rate (column b) and the estimated time (column f) for each sub-activity listed in Table 1, attached. Commission staff notes that in its letter, dated 19 May 2011, proceedings associated with Bell Aliant Regional Communications Tariff Notice (TN) 269 and Bell Canada Tariff Notice (TN) 7205, the Commission already required the disclosure of similar information concerning competitor costs.
Yours sincerely,
