Telecom Order CRTC 99-21 |
|
|
On 11 December 1998, BC TEL filed Tariff Notice (TN) 3892 proposing to implement a promotion to provide customers with an incentive to change from an Alternate Provider of Local Services (e.g., Centrex reseller or Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC)) to BC TEL for the provision of their Centrex service. The promotional offer would provide customers with a credit on their 7th month's bill based on the average of their 2nd to 6th months' bills for their Centrex station lines. |

File No.: TN 3892 |
|
|
1.The Commission notes that in its covering letter to TN 3892, BC TEL stated that customers must register for the proposed promotion by responding to a marketing contact from the company. |
|
|
2.In a letter dated 16 April 1998 re: Commission Decision Regarding CRTC Interconnection Steering Committee Dispute on Competitive Winback Guidelines, the Commission directed that an Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier is not to attempt to win back a customer from a CLEC for a period of three months after that customer's service has been completely transferred to another local service provider. |
|
|
3.The Commission notes that BC TEL's proposal does not preclude winback attempts, by way of communications with customers on an individual basis, within the three month restricted period. In these circumstances, the Commission is not persuaded that BC TEL's proposal is consistent with the Commission's direction. |
|
|
4.The Commission therefore denies the application. |
