Re: Sogetel Tariff Notice 184

Dear Madam,

On 13 November 2017, the Commission received Tariff Notice 184 from Sogetel inc. (Sogetel) in which the company proposed modifications to its Access Tariff in order to introduce two charges for new competitor services. Sogetel proposed a charge for the accelerated processing of a Local Service Request and a charge to be applied to cancellations of port-out requests exceeding a certain monthly threshold.

To assist in the analysis of the application, Sogetel is to provide responses to the attached requests for information (RFI) by 22 March 2018. Parties may file comments in response to the RFIs by 2 April 2018 and Sogetel may file reply comments by 9 April 2018.

Sincerely,

Original signed by

Lyne Renaud

Requests for Information

Question 1
Refer to the Canadian Local Ordering Guidelines (Version 6.3), Section 2 – Local Service Request (LSR) Form Preparation Guide, Item 17 EXP – Expedite Flag. Provide the company's reasons, with supporting rationale, for proposing to introduce a charge for the accelerated processing of an LSR given that a mechanism (i.e. the Expedite Flag) already exists for addressing such requests.

Question 2
Explain the reasons why Sogetel included cost elements related to the normal processing of an LSR in the company's proposed charge for the accelerated processing of an LSR.

Question 3
For each cost element included in the cost study for Sogetel's proposed charge for accelerated processing of an LSR, identify whether it is:

  1. strictly related to the normal processing of an LSR;
  2. strictly related to the accelerated processing of an LSR; or
  3. common to both the normal and accelerated processing of an LSR.

Question 4
Present a charge for the accelerated processing of an LSR that strictly reflects the costs incurred by the company that are not captured in the normal processing of an LSR. Support this charge with a cost study.
