Part of the shift is in the amount of discussion — there is certainly an increase in media This shift is a strong signal for renewed commitment to the FIRST T coverage.

    Telecom Decision CRTC 2006-31 Ottawa, 19 May 2006 Rogers Wireless Inc. – Part VII application seeking review of line-side wireless access service interconnection rates in the territories of Société en commandite Télébec, TELUS Communications Company operating in Quebec and the small incumbent local exchange carriers in Ontario and Quebec Reference: 8661-R11-02/01 The Commission approves on a final basis, effective the date of this Decision, revised rates for the line-side wireless access service (WAS) of the small incumbent local exchange carriers currently operating in Ontario and Quebec, and of Société en commandite Télébec. The Commission denies Rogers Wireless Inc.'s request to apply the revised line-side WAS rates retroactively to 1 January 2002. Introduction 1. The Commission received a Part VII application by Rogers Wireless Inc. (RWI), dated 17 December 2001, seeking a review of the line-side wireless access service (WAS) interconnection rates in the territories of the companies that were, at that time, referred to as the independent telephone companies operating in Ontario and Quebec, which included Société en commandite Télébec (Télébec) and the former TELUS Communications (Quebec) Inc., now TELUS Communications Company (TCC).1 These companies, excluding Télébec and TCC, are now considered to be small incumbent local exchange carriers (SILECs) operating in Ontario and Quebec. 2. Specifically, RWI requested that the Commission reduce the line-side WAS rates of Télébec, TCC and the SILECs operating in Ontario and Quebec, effective 1 January 2002, by removing the implicit subsidy from these rates. RWI requested that if the Commission were unable to remove the implicit subsidy by 1 January 2002, the Commission should make these rates interim on 1 January 2002, with the final subsidy-free rates retroactive to 1 January 2002.
