There has been a somewhat entertaining exchange of regulatory correspondence between Bell and the CRTC in respect of the Bell Digital Voice Lite product.
Back in December, among other things, the CRTC ordered Bell to provide local number portability (LNP) for (a) out-of-territory telephone numbers used as primary numbers, and (b) in-territory and out-of-territory telephone numbers used as secondary numbers. Bell was given 6 months to implement such solutions.
On June 2, Bell sent a letter to the CRTC asking for the December decision to be suspended, pending the outcome of the CRTC’s overall VoIP reconsideration proceeding.
But, the CRTC didn’t like the format of the June 2 Bell letter, and on June 22 the Commission asked Bell to resubmit the request in the form of an application for a Stay.
On July 4, Bell complied and submitted a formal Part VII application. But upon further reflection that weekend, Bell withdrew the application.
Hmmm.
