Telecom Order

Ottawa, 24 September 1998
Telecom Order CRTC 98-943
By letter dated 21 July 1998, Call for Less applied for a contribution exemption. Call for Less provided an affidavit dated 21 July 1998 affirming that a Centrex system in the Newtonville exchange is used solely for single-hop and administrative purposes.
File No.: 8626-C38-01/98
1.By letter dated 25 August 1998, Bell Canada (Bell) noted that it appears that the Centrex system in the Newtonville exchange is stand-alone, not associated with the other resold Centrex systems, and it is used only to provide single-hop or local services. Bell also noted that the affidavit provided appears to satisfy evidentiary requirements for such exemptions, although the appropriate reference telephone number is incorrect. Bell stated that, based on its records, it should read 905-781-2127. In light of the above, Bell agreed with the request for an exemption on the basis that the Newtonville Centrex system is used solely for local or single-hop calling.
2.The Commission is of the view that Call for Less has satisfied the evidentiary requirements for exemptions for local or single-hop Centrex services and notes that Bell agrees.
3.In light of the foregoing, Call for Less' application is approved effective the date of the application, 21 July 1998.
