1.
|
The Commission received an application by Bell Canada, dated 10 November 2003, to revise General Tariff items 950, Local Channels, 3750, Monthly Distance Charges or Rentals for Inter-exchange Channels and the Associated Local Channels, and 4660, Channels for Data Transmission, in order to withdraw Schedule 1 and 2 Channels and to destandardize Schedule 3 Channels.
|
|
2.
|
Bell Canada submitted that Schedule 1, 2 and 3 Channels are teletype-grade channels having a maximum throughput of 75 baud.
|
|
3.
|
Bell Canada further submitted that there are currently no customers using Schedule 1 and 2 Channels and that the Company does not expect any demand for this service as other alternatives are available.
|
|
4.
|
In addition, Bell Canada noted that Schedule 3 Channels are not the growth service of choice for customers, due to the low throughput, limited network scalability and limited support by manufacturers.
|
|
5.
|
The Commission received no comments with respect to the application.
|
|
6.
|
The Commission approves Bell Canada's application. The revisions take effect as of 1 January 2004.
