Order CRTC 2000-1163

 

Ottawa, 20 December 2000

 

CRTC approves a contribution exemption for Vidéotron administrative lines

 

Reference: 8626-V3-01/00

 

The CRTC approves a contribution exemption for administrative lines provided to Vidéotron by
Bell Canada.

 

By letter dated 3 November 2000, Vidéotron ltée (VL) sought a contribution exemption for certain local services that it uses for administrative purposes. The affidavit that VL submitted in support of its application affirmed that the local services are used solely to make and receive administrative calls, and to provide telecommunications services to VL's customers.

 

By letter dated 17 November 2000, Bell Canada suggested that Commission approval of VL's application be made conditional upon the provision of a revised affidavit by VL. This affidavit should affirm that no local or interexchange private line services are connected to the local services to permit direct access to interexchange networks provided by VL or any other affiliated or non-affiliated long-distance network provider. Subject to this request for conditional approval, Bell Canada agreed with the request for approval of an exemption.

 

By letter dated 23 November 2000, VL filed a revised affidavit that addressed Bell Canada's concern noted above.

The Commission is of the view that VL has provided evidence that meets the evidentiary requirements for administrative circuits. The Commission approves VL's application effective the date of installation such that no contribution is payable.
