RE:  Tariff Notice 326 – SaskTel Centrex IP Service

Dear Sir:

On 2 May 2016, the Commission received an application by Saskatchewan Telecommunications (SaskTel), under Tariff Notice 326 (TN 326), in which the company proposed to de-standardize General Tariff items related to SaskTel Centrex IP Service.  The company also proposed to amend General Tariff items related to Centrex Service II, to reflect changes required as a function of the de-standardization of the Centrex IP Service.

Paragraph 28(1)(a) of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure provides that the Commission may request parties to file information or documents where needed.

SaskTel is requested to provide comprehensive answers, including rationale and any supporting information, to the attached questions by 29 June 2016.

Sincerely,

Original signed by

Michel Murray
Director, Dispute Resolution and Regulatory Implementation
