that services that constitute the Provincial Data Network and
that are provided by MTS Communications Inc. (MTS) to the Government
of Manitoba (Manitoba) under three separate agreements are not
wide area network services in respect of which the Commission

by MTS pursuant to the Network Services Agreement and Access
Services Agreement respectively are each Type 2 customer-specific
arrangements; and (c) directs MTS to file separate tariffs in
respect of each such agreement. MTS is also directed to file
a separate tariff if it is providing, or intends to provide,
service to an entity that does not come within the definition

The Commission implements
changes to the regulation of telemarketers with more specific
identification procedures, constraints on the use of predictive
dialling devices and mandatory reinforcement of do not call
lists for all telemarketers. The Commission also requires the

The
Commission applies the determinations made in Decision 2002-76,
with respect to the location and operation of Bell Canada's
Carrier Services Group (CSG), to other large incumbent local
exchange carriers (ILECs). The Commission determines that
such ILECs must be the operators of the CSG for their tariffed
services, and that no employee of any of the other large ILECs'
affiliates can have any responsibility for the ILEC's CSG
operations. The Commission also confirms its preliminary view
set out in Decision 2002-76 that a Canadian carrier subject
to common control with an ILEC (affiliated carrier) will be
required to comply with section 25 and other applicable provisions
of the Telecommunications Act whenever the affiliated ILEC
would be required to do so. When examining a proposed tariff
filed by an affiliated carrier, the Commission will apply
the same criteria, with respect to the imputation test and
the bundling rules, as it would apply if the tariff were filed
by the affiliated ILEC. Reference: 8638-C12-79/02. (. pdf

Northwestel Inc. – Supplemental
funding requirement for 2003. The Commission extends the roll-out
