Decision

Ottawa, 2 February 1994

Decision CRTC 94-19

Câble Télé Plus Québec 1 Inc.

Saint-Hippolyte, Quebec - 931774400

Change to service area

Pursuant to Public Notice CRTC 1993-171 dated 6 December 1993, the Commission approves the application to change the licensed area for the cable distribution undertaking serving Saint-Hippolyte by including an area south of Les Hauteurs, including Lac Aubrisson and an area south of Lac Bleu, for a total of 140 additional households.

This approval is conditional upon receipt of written notification from the Department of Communications, within three months of the date of this decision, that it will issue an amendment to the Broadcasting Certificate.

This approval is also subject to the requirement that construction in the extended area be completed and the extended system be in operation within twelve months of the date of this decision or, where the licensee applies to the Commission within this period and satisfies the Commission that it cannot complete the construction and begin the operation of the extended system before the expiry of this period and that an extension is in the public interest, within such further periods of time as are approved in writing from time to time by the Commission.

Should the Commission refuse to approve an extension of time requested by the licensee, the authority granted shall lapse and become null and void upon the termination of the last approved extension period.

The Commission notes that subscribers in the extended area will be offered the same programming services and will be charged fees identical to those in the current licensed service area.
