RE: Bell Canada Tariff Notice 967 - Introduction of National Services Tariff Item 796, Central Office Located Customer Provided Equipment - Ontera Tariff Notice 151, NorthernTel Tariff Notice 409, DMTS Tariff Notice 84 - Withdrawal of Central Office Located Customer Provided Equipment
Philippe Gauvin:
On 3 September 2021, the Commission received an application from Bell Canada, under Tariff Notice (TN) 967 in which the company proposed to introduce Item 796 – Central Office Located Customer Provided Equipment (CPE) to its National Services Tariff (NST).
The company also proposed to migrate the existing equivalent terms for three of Bell Canada’s small incumbent local exchange carriers to Item 796; namely, DMTS and Ontera, both divisions of Bell Canada, and NorthernTel Limited Partnership (NorthernTel), as follows, for which there are currently no customers:
- DMTS General Tariff 25370 Section 1000 via TN 84;
- NorthernTel General Tariff CRTC 25510 Item N1000.4 via TN 409; and
- Ontera General Tariff CRTC 25520 Item 1020.2 via TN 151.
Commission staff is continuing its analysis of these applications.
Consequently, these applications, along with any associated subsequent revisions, will not be approved on an interim basis on the 15th calendar day following receipt. However, the Commission intends to dispose of these applications, along with any associated subsequent revisions, within 45 business days of receipt of the filing.
Sincerely,
