All:
I apologize in advance for the cross-posting between lists, however I felt this was of significant enough importance to justify it (hopefully Simon and Dave agree with my assessment). I suggest that any discussion of this topic take place on the general list ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>). There is a lot of regulatory proceedings going on right now. These proceedings are actually what is taking up the most of my time these days. The most important of which are the following http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf09316.html We are opposing the Bell and Telus petitions and supporting the Allstream petition. Bell is basically petitioning Governor in Council to overturn CRTC decisions that they don't like. There are huge implications to this, especially in these few cases. But more importantly Bell has recently filed a tariff notice for what is known as UBB (Usage based billing) http://www.crtc.gc.ca/8740/eng/2009/b2_7181.htm UBB will force wholesalers (like Telnet, Teksavvy, and others) to enforce 60 GB/month caps on our subscribers and bill for usage above 60GB. Bell is asking the CRTC for this to be effective May 31, 2009. As you will see from the link above, Telnet (in association with some others) have already filed a letter with the CRTC asking that interim approval of this tariff not be granted as we plan to intervene and fight this tariff. Have a read of the files in the links.
