33. Mobile & Paging Forms
34. Form 03-810 – Mobile Voice and Paging
- Subscriptions
34.1 We provide a proprietary voice service
which is similar to CB radio. Should that be counted as part of
the mobile voice data reported on this form?
The form looks specifically at PSTN-connected mobile applications.
To the extent that your branded application allows direct-dial
PSTN call origination and termination, it should be included.
To the extent that it doesn't, it should be omitted.
34.2 How do I calculate the churn rate?
Please refer to the definition in the glossary to assist you.

35. Form 03-820 – Mobile Voice Airtime
35.1 How is the traffic broken out?
The form asks you to break out your total traffic two ways --
non-toll vs toll, and on-net vs off-net -- and to break out your
on-net (non-roaming) traffic by originating vs terminating. The
latter may be estimated based on available switch records.

36. Form 03-821 – Mobile Voice - Intercarrier
36.1 Does "intercarrier" refer to
Canadian carriers only?
No. It refers to any network services or facilities you paid
for, no matter who you bought them from.
Normally, only transactions bearing directly on the Canadian
market are examined. Practically, however, it is extremely difficult
to exclude foreign-to-foreign roaming calls from all foreign-originated
roaming calls, and so all roaming -- no matter where originated
and/or terminated -- should be included here.

37. Form 03-822 – Mobile Data - Protocols
38. Form 03-823 - Mobile Coverage
38.1 We have maps of our analogue and digital
mobile coverage. Can we submit those?
We are accepting map-based data files. The maps must provide
geographic information as to coverage. "Analogue" and
"digital" are meaningful only insofar as they refer
to the specific protocols such as - AMPS, CDMA, CDMA 1xRTT, TDMA
(non-GSM), GSM, GPRS, and ESMR/iDEN. Rather than "digital",
therefore, a given map file should be identified as defining GSM
and GPRS coverage in Canada (in a case where these two are exactly
congruent).
The geographic information must be interpretable using the MapInfo
format.
