Late in December, I wrote<\/a> about Yak filing applications<\/a> with the CRTC to “protect Canadians against consumer gouging<\/span>“, referring to a new network access charge being levied by TELUS to customers who had no long distance plan.<\/p>\n

The CRTC had received 600 consumer complaints about the charge and so it had started its own investigation. TELUS responded<\/a> to initial CRTC interrogatories in late November although I found at least one of the answers somewhat tough to decipher.<\/p>\n

It is still unclear to me if a consumer can use casual calling (101XXXX+) if they are forced to sign up for toll blocking in order to avoid being hit with the TELUS network charge.<\/p>\n

The two processes were blended into a single Type 2 proceeding<\/a>, one that is expected to involve multiple parties or raise significant policy issues. The charge is yet another example of a “system access fee”.<\/p>\n

Under the CRTC’s guidelines for such proceedings, we may not have a decision until September, 2008.<\/p>\n

The CRTC could rule the charge to be illegal and force a refund. As such, will there be a potential liability growing on the books?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
