Subject: Registration of OpenMobile Inc. as a CLEC
Dear Anne Kwong:
This letter is to confirm that OpenMobile Inc. completed the requirements to register as a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC). Based on the information provided, Commission staff informs OpenMobile Inc. it meets the requirements to be placed on the CLEC list as a CLEC type IV and is hereby authorized to:
- Provide local switched services as a CLEC provided it continues to meet the requirements set out in Decision 97-8
- Provide local switched services as a CLEC in the British Columbia exchanges of Vancouver, West Vancouver and Richmond in TELUS Communications Inc.’s territory.
As indicated in Telecom Decision 2006-58 paragraph 85, the Commission highlights that the current annual monitoring reporting procedure requires that OpenMobile Inc. indicates to the Commission their total number of local lines and access points. The Commission considers that through this process, it will become aware, on a timely basis, should a small CLEC exceed the 10,000 customer threshold. The Commission determined that once a small CLEC exceeds the customer threshold or ceases to offer local VoIP services through a reseller and offers local VoIP services through its own resources, it must comply with all the CLEC obligations, from which it may have obtained relief, within six months.
Commission staff reminds OpenMobile Inc. that in order to remain on any registration list(s), it must comply with the appropriate regulatory regime and provide the required information in the Data Collection System (DCS) on an annual basis.
The registered entity must also keep any information in its Basic International Telecommunications Services (BITS) license application current.
Failure to comply with any of the above-noted statutory requirements may result in the revocation of OpenMobile Inc.’s authority to provide service and removal from the CRTC’s registration list(s). As per Telecom Regulatory Policy 2019-354, entities removed from any registration list will be placed on the list of Withdrawn and Incomplete Telecommunications Providers registrations published on the Commission’s website.
Yours sincerely,
