"With this decision, as well as one issued in July 2007, funds will also be used to expand broadband services to more than 350 rural and remote communities in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec.

Any funds remaining in the deferral accounts will be rebated to the relevant residential subscribers living in urban areas in these provinces. The Commission directed the major local telephone companies to file, by March 25, 2008, proposals outlining how rebates could be most effectively made both in terms of benefits to customers and minimal disruption to companies."
