Attachment
1. In Bell Canada’s National Services Tariff Item 901.4(o) and in Télébec’s Tarif Général Chapitre 10.3 Article 10.3.4(15), the Bell companies propose to delete wording, specifically “When a licensee has an existing presence on a Support Structure, ...”.
In paragraph 53 of the Cable carriers’ 10 August 2012 comments, the Cable carriers state “[w]ithout this clarifying language, drop wires could be considered to become subject to the permit requirement.”
Explain how, without this clarifying language, subscriber drop wires could be considered to become subject to the permit requirement.
