An interesting decision<\/a> from the CRTC earlier today about billing services to corporate affiliates.<\/p>\n

The case that led to Telecom Decision CRTC 2010-867<\/a> dealt with Bell Aliant and Bell Canada providing certain access services to Rogers and its affiliate, Fido.<\/p>\n

The Bell company tariffs for channelizing competitor digital access circuits (CDN) state that if a carrier is co-located in a Central Office, then it must pay retail rates for any channelizing services. Fido was receiving channelizing services in some locations that have a Rogers co-location presence, but it demanded the lower wholesale rates.<\/p>\n

Rogers argued that previous Commission decisions\u00a0suggest that parent companies and affiliates do not always have to constitute a single customer. In fact, Rogers showed that there are at least three examples where the Bell companies treat the affiliates as separate entities, in\u00a0each case\u00a0tilting revenues higher in\u00a0favour of\u00a0the telco:<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. Local interconnection traffic imbalances are calculated separately, generally resulting in a higher imbalance in favour of the Bell\u00a0companies;<\/li>\n
  2. RCI and Fido pay separate rates to access the Bell\u00a0companies\u2019 Operational Support System, resulting in higher revenues for the Bell\u00a0companies; and<\/li>\n
  3. RCI and Fido are separate customers for extended area service transiting and transit services resulting in higher revenues for the Bell\u00a0companies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    The CRTC agreed with Rogers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
