What’s New
A number of changes have been made to the DCS forms to
simplify reporting requirements or to capture new information as the
telecommunications industry continues to evolve. Below is a list of the changes,
by form:
Form 101 – Income Statement
- In the Revenue section, non-telecommunications
revenues have been disaggegrated into two line items: (1) BDU services revenues
and (2) other non-telecommunications service revenues. Internet services provided
by BDU companies are considered to be telecommunications revenues and are to be
reported as such on line 8 of the form.
- In the EBITDA section, Depreciation and
Amortization expenses are to be recorded separately to better isolate the impact
of depreciation on fixed assets.
Form 106 – Intercarrier expenses
- The Wireless Operation section of this form includes new lines for Roaming
Expenses and Mobile Interconnect, previously captured under Other.
Form 212 – Local and Access – owned, leased and rebilled
NAS
- In an effort to streamline reporting requirements we have reduced the choices for
access technology from four (wireline, fixed wireless, satellite and other) to
two (access dependent and access independent).
Form 213 – Total NAS and NAS-equivalent by wire centre
- Now captures NAS-equivalent quantities to account for access-independent local
VoIP services.
Form 215 – NAS-equivalent supplemental
- Form title has changed from Access Independent Telephone Service to
NAS-Equivalent Supplemental.
- Data previously collected at the exchange level is
now only required at the national level.
- The reporting requirement for LD minutes
has been eliminated.
Form 255 – Residential Internet Access High-Speed Plans
- This form is used to gather data related to Internet access plans.
Forms 271 – 278 – Mobile and Paging Forms
- Form 271 has been modified to eliminate separate reporting of residential and
business mobile and paging details. As such, mobile and paging revenues and
subscribers are to be reported as Retail and Wholesale.
- Form 273 has been expanded to capture mobile minutes.
Forms 901 – 902 – Ownership and Control Reporting now
collected by DCS
- The annual ownership and control filling is due within 90 days of an entity’s
annual general meeting on the issuance of its annual financial statements,
whichever is the earlier.
