Access services for interconnection with toll service providers
|
1. |
The Commission received an application by
Société d'administration des tarifs d'accès des télécommunicateurs (SATAT),
dated 13 January 2005, to revise General Tariff item 700, Access
Services for Interconnection with Toll Service Providers, in order to
increase from $4.75 to $94.75 the rate for pre-subscription indication
in relation to interconnection with toll service providers. In addition,
SATAT proposed housekeeping changes for access services relating to
interconnection with toll service providers. |
2. |
The Commission received no comments with
respect to the application. |
3. |
The Commission notes that the current service
charge of $4.75, which applies for pre-subscription indication, was
approved in Equal access, Order CRTC 2001-669,
20 August 2001, and that the rate has been charged since
then. |
4. |
The Commission also notes that SATAT supported
its proposed rate of $94.75 with a tariff approved for Sogetel inc.
in Interconnection with long distance service providers, Order
CRTC 2001-667, 17 August 2001.
The Commission further notes that SATAT indicated that there will
be no impact on local subscribers and that the impact on toll service
providers would not exceed $100 per company. |
5. |
The Commission notes that the proposed
housekeeping changes will have no material impact on rates or services
provided. |
6. |
In Regulatory framework for the small
incumbent telephone companies, Decision CRTC 2001-756,
14 December 2001 (Decision 2001-756),
the Commission determined that the fourth basket of capped services
would comprise all other services offered by the small incumbent local
exchange carriers, such as optional services, multi-element service
categories, special facilities tariffs and competitor access tariffs.
It also determined that rates for these services would generally be
permitted to increase up to any already approved rate for the same
service. It stated that tariff applications could be submitted at
any time and should reference when and where the Commission approved
the rate. |
7. |
The Commission finds that SATAT's proposed
rates are in line with the determinations in Decision 2001-756. |
8. |
The Commission approves SATAT's
application. The revisions take effect as of the date of this
Order. |
