Dear Mr. Grieve:
RE: Confirmation - Fulfillment of CLEC Requirements – London, Ontario
- TELUS Integrated Communications (2000) Inc.
This is in response to a letter from TELUS Communications Inc.
("TCI") dated 14 February 2001 in which it provided information
that its subsidiary TELUS Communications (2000) Inc.("TICI
2000") intends to offer local exchange services in the London,
Ontario telephone exchange and that it continues to satisfy the
requirements imposed on Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) in
Telecom Decision CRTC 97-8, Local Competition, 1 May 1997 (Decision
97-8).
Based on the statements made by TCI in its letter, Commission staff
considers that TICI 2000 meets the CLEC requirements set out by the
Commission in Decision 97-8. The company can provide local exchange
services as a CLEC in the above-noted exchange of Bell Canada’s
operating territory, provided it continues to meet those requirements and
complies on an ongoing basis with the Canadian ownership and control
regime set out in section 16 of the Telecommunications Act and in the
associated regulations.
Yours sincerely,
Campbell Laidlaw
Director, Competition Implementation
