RE: Transfer of responsibility for single-line inside wire to business customers
Dear Mr. Olenick:
In TBayTel –Application for the transfer of responsibility for single-line inside wire to business customers and for forbearance from the regulation of single-line inside wire services, Telecom Decision CRTC 2014-321, 12 June 2014 (Telecom Decision 2014-321), the Commission approved the transfer of responsibility for single-line inside wire to TBayTel’s business customers. The Commission also directed TBayTel to notify its single-line inside wire business customers via a billing insert or a letter of the transfer of responsibility for inside wire, and directed TBayTel to submit the content of their notice to the Commission for its review.
On 23 June 2014, TBayTel filed a letter with the Commission that provided its draft notice for the Commission’s review.
Commission staff has reviewed TBayTel’s draft notice, and notes that the content of the notice does not meet the criteria set by the Commission in paragraph 13 of the Telecom Decision 2014-321. Specifically, Commission staff notes that the draft notice does not disclose that:
- effective six months from the date of the notice, business customers will be responsible for and have authority over inside wire, whether installed by TBayTel, another supplier, a landlord, or the customer, and may perform any work related to installation, maintenance, repair, additions, moves, and rearrangements themselves, or have this work performed by TBayTel or a third-party contractor; and
- single-line inside wire for business customers in premises that have hard-wired single-line connections will continue to be treated under the existing tariff. [emphasis added]
Accordingly, TBayTel is required to submit a revised version of its draft notice, including the above-noted information, for Commission review within 10 days of the date of this letter.
Yours sincerely
