Review of various customer account management regulatory measures

 

See Also : 2008-16

Reference: 8663-C12-200814740

 

Erratum

1.

In Telecom Public Notice 2008-16, the Commission initiated a proceeding to review various customer account management regulations, in light of the Policy Direction,1 pursuant to the action plan developed in Telecom Decision 2008-34. In paragraph 6 of that public notice, the Commission incorrectly indicated that the obligation to provide toll restrict service was not retained in forborne markets.

2.

The corrected paragraph 6 reads as follows, with changes highlighted in bold:
 

In Telecom Decision 2006-15, the Commission considered that there would be exceptions where market forces may not be sufficient to protect the interests of all users in forborne markets. As a result, the Commission retained the regulatory obligations associated with the disconnection process, deposit policies, and toll restrict service in forborne markets. The Commission also imposed a price ceiling on the charges and limits associated with late payment and dishonoured payment charges, insomuch as they apply to stand-alone primary exchange service.
