RE: Part 1 Application by the Independent Telecommunications Providers Association regarding the development of retail and wholesale NG9-1-1 rates in the geographic areas covered by SILEC exchanges
Dear Mr. Holmes,
The Commission is in receipt of the above-noted Part 1 application submitted by the Independent Telecommunications Providers Association regarding the development of retail and wholesale NG9-1-1 rates in the geographic areas covered by SILEC exchanges. Commission staff notes that the Commission has not yet issued its determinations in relation to the above-noted Part 1 and would like to remind the ITPA and its members that all ILECs remain subject to the determinations related to NG9-1-1 wholesale and retail tariffs contained in CRTC Telecom Decision 2021-199 Establishment of new deadlines for Canada’s transition to next-generation 9-1-1, including the obligations to
- file proposed NG9-1-1 wholesale and retail tariffs no later than 1 November 2021. These tariffs are to include proposed rates supported by cost studies that reflect the incremental costs of adding new NG9-1-1 networks, services, or functionalities; and
- file proposed NG9-1-1 wholesale and retail tariffs, including proposed rates based on cost studies that include (i) costs associated with network components that were formerly included in 9-1-1 cost studies but continue to be required for the provision of
NG9-1-1 services; and (ii) all other NG9-1-1-related cost components. NG9-1-1 network providers are to file their NG9-1-1 wholesale and retail tariffs with sufficient time for them to take effect on the date by which their existing 9-1-1 networks are to be decommissioned.
Sincerely,
