Today's Releases - December 4, 2003
Telecom Decision:
2003-82 The
Commission considers that the provisions of the Telecommunications
Act, including section 43, do not contemplate that the Commission
could issue a broad direction requiring parties to bring all existing
municipal access arrangements (MAAs) into conformity with a set of guidelines
similar to those articulated in Decision CRTC 2001-23.
The Commission is prepared to consider applications from Canadian carriers
seeking to establish that municipal consent was not obtained on terms
acceptable to the carrier with the onus on the Canadian carrier applying
to the Commission to establish that the signed MAA does not represent
proof that the Canadian carrier has obtained, on terms acceptable to it,
the consent of the municipality to construct a transmission line. Reference:
8690-C12-03/01,
8690-A4-01/01
and 8690-A4-04/02.
