BELL CANADA - CONSTRUCTION CHARGES
|
| |
Reference: Bell Tariff Notice 6233 (TN 6233) |
| |
1. Bell Canada has proposed revisions to its
General Tariff provisions relating to construction charges for extension of
service in unserved areas. The company proposes to change the current
standard free allowance based on distance (165 metres) to a standard dollar
amount ($1,000). The company also proposes to change the basis for
determining the costs such that, in addition to costs incurred to extend
existing facilities, any other incremental costs such as any cable
reinforcement costs extending back to the serving switching centre would be
subject to cost recovery. The proposed changes were filed under TN 6233
dated 29 May 1998. |
