    General Tariff -  Introduction of a new migration clause for Megalink Service

  2. The Commission received no interventions with respect to the application.
  3. In accordance with subparagraph 1(b)(i) of the 2006 Policy Direction,Footnote 1 the Commission considers that final approval of this application will advance the policy objective set out in paragraph 7(f) of the Telecommunications ActFootnote 2.
  4. In accordance with the 2019 Policy Direction,Footnote 3 the Commission considers that this order, which is based on a complete record, can promote competition, affordability, consumer interests, and innovation. Specifically, the final approval of this application will promote consumer interests and innovation, since it (i) provides additional flexibility by allowing customers to migrate a Megalink Service that is under the terms of a minimum contract period (MCP) to access services lines that are also subject to the terms of an MCP, and (ii) ensures that such customers will continue to have access to high-quality telecommunications services as a result of the new migration clause.
  5. Revised tariff pages are to be issued within 10 calendar days of the date of this order. Revised tariff pages can be submitted to the Commission without a description page or a request for approval; a tariff application is not required.
