We will had to contend with some electromechanical switches and it was long before the first Internet Protocol switches were placed anywhere in the Canadian networks.<\/p>\n<p>As the notice acknowledges:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Currently, there are three distinct regulatory regimes related to the interconnection of telecommunications networks for the purpose of exchanging voice traffic: (i) local network interconnection between local exchange carrier (LEC) networks, (ii) wireless network interconnection between wireless carrier networks and LEC networks, and (iii) toll network interconnection between toll (long distance) networks and LEC networks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The interconnection arrangements all start with a premise that the primacy exists with the incumbent wireline networks. With wireless substitution and significant migration to alternate local networks including IP, the CRTC is looking to\u00a0conduct a broad policy review of network interconnection matters. The objective is to determine whether\u00a0existing interconnection can be simplified and consolidated, which would ultimately\u00a0enhance competition (to the benefit of consumers), and whether\u00a0changes are necessary to ensure technological neutrality.<\/p>\n<p>There will be an oral hearing in late October, following interrogatory phases taking place through the summer. The process should wind up with a decision around the time of the 20th\u00a0anniversary\u00a0of the landmark long distance competition <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/fjIlb6\" target=\"_blank\">Decision 92-12<\/a>.
