RE:Well, the market has voted on CRTC rates and BCE LOSES???I took a look and it's really not bad...
Bell asked for 33.2% and got 30% (and 5year exclusivity) and 26.4 (which it got)
Positions of parties
- Bell Canada submitted that the rates for its multi-gigabit temporary FTTP access should include a supplementary markup of 33.2% to account for the risk the company bears when it grants competitors the ability to request access at a predetermined and fixed rate. Bell Canada called this supplementary markup the real option value markup.
- for all speeds, and the application of a -26.4% annual unit cost change for traffic-sensitive components.
bell got:
Including removal of the allocation approach for shared fibre facilities, imposition of a single mark-up of 30% for all speeds, and the application of a -26.4% annual unit cost change for traffic-sensitive components.
