I'm repeating an old message since I think that it is important and
urgent. I've seen no response to it on this list (the biz list had some).
Note: this is the last day to comment on URB. It's easy: there is an
awkward web form. Here's how Teksavvy explained using it:
http://support.crtc.gc.ca/crtcsubmissionmu/forms/Telecom.aspx?lang=e
Select the word "Tariff" from the drop down list.
Add the following in Subject Line "File Number # 8740-B2-200904989 - Bell
Canada - TN 7181" and make your thoughts known!
I think that there are 30 days from March 27 to respond to the petition to
cabinet.

| Subject: [on-asterisk] Various regulatory issues that could affect you
|
| 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.
