RE: Registration of North Frontenac Telephone Corporation Ltd. as a CLEC

Dear Michael J. Andrews:

This letter is to confirm that North Frontenac Telephone Corporation Ltd. (NFTC) completed the requirements to register as a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC). Based on the information provided, Commission staff informs NFTC it meets the requirements to be placed on the CLEC list as a CLEC type III and is hereby authorized to:

• Provide local switched services as a CLEC provided it continues to meet the requirements set out in Decision 97-8 (http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/8180/8180m.htm)
• Provide local switched services as a CLEC in the Ontario exchanges identified in the Appendix in Bell Canada’s territory.

Commission staff reminds NFTC that in order to remain on any registration list(s), it must comply with the appropriate regulatory regime and complete the required information in the Data Collection System (DCS) on an annual basis.

The registered entity must also keep any information in its Basic International Telecommunications Services (BITS) license application current.

Failure to comply with any of the above-noted statutory requirements may result in the revocation of NFTC’s authority to provide service and removal from the CRTC’s registration list(s).  As per Telecom Regulatory Policy 2019-354, entities removed from any registration list will be placed on the list of withdrawn telecommunications provider registrations published on the Commission’s website.

Yours sincerely,
