RE: Bluewater TV Cable Tariff Notice 7 and EastLink Tariff Notice 32 - Port-Out Cancellation Charge

Dear Madam,

On 7 March 2012, the Commission received applications from EastLink, on behalf of itself and Bluewater TV Cable, proposing revisions to each company’s General Tariff to remove references to the port-out cancellation charge.

EastLink submitted that these applications were in the nature of housekeeping changes intended to reflect forbearance from the regulation of these charges pursuant to Revised regulatory framework for wholesale services and definition of essential service, Telecom Decision CRTC 2008-17, 3 March 2008 (Telecom Decision 2008-17).

In Forbearance from the regulation of certain wholesale local number portability services and associated matters, Telecom Decision CRTC 2013-166, 28 March 2013, the Commission noted that its determinations in Telecom Decision 2008-17 did not apply to competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) such as EastLink.


Because Telecom Decision 2008-17 did not apply to CLECs, EastLink may not remove references to the port-out cancellation charge on the basis of the Commission’s determinations in Telecom Decision 2008-17.

Accordingly, these files are closed.

Yours sincerely,
