File number: Tariff Notice 43

La Cie de Téléphone de Courcelles Inc. - Modifications to Support Structure Service

  1. The Commission received an application from La Cie de Téléphone de Courcelles Inc. (Courcelles), dated 24 September 2014, in which the company proposed revisions to item 5.2 - Support Structure Service of its General Tariff to comply with Telecom Decision 2014-389 and to harmonize the tariff information related to this service with that of Sogetel inc. (Sogetel) and Téléphone Milot inc. (Milot).

  2. Specifically, Courcelles added a definition of strand equipment and outlined the situations in which it is not necessary for a licenseeFootnote 1 to obtain requests for the use of support structures. Courcelles specified that its support structure agreement (SSA), to which the company referredFootnote 2 in its proposed tariff pages, is consistent with the SSAs filed by Sogetel and Milot, and approved by the Commission in Telecom Order 2006-223. Courcelles also introduced initial rates for non-recurring charges based on the rates approved for TELUS Communications Company and Télébec, Limited Partnership.Footnote 3

  3. In Telecom Order 2014-540, the Commission approved Courcelles’ application on an interim basis, effective 20 October 2014.

  4. The Commission received no interventions regarding Courcelles’ application. The public record of this proceeding, which closed on 24 October 2014, is available on the Commission’s website at www.crtc.gc.ca or by using the file number provided above.

  5. The Commission has reviewed Courcelles’ application and finds it to be reasonable. However, the Commission notes that in Telecom Order 2006-223, it approved Sogetel’s and Milot’s SSAs subject to modifications to items 7.5, 7.11, and 16.0. The Commission considers that Courcelles should make the same modifications to its SSA.

  6. In light of the above, the Commission approves on a final basis Courcelles’ application, effective the date of this order, on the condition that Courcelles makes the modifications to its SSA that the Commission set out in Telecom Order 2006-223 for Sogetel’s and Milot’s SSAs.

  7. Courcelles is to issue revised tariff pagesFootnote 4 within 10 days of the date of this order.
