Tue 14-Apr-2009 To:CRTC: The Usage Base Billing and other restrictions planned by Bell MUST NOT be allowed to pass. Only had a few hours to write this due to confusion at CRTC with regards to deadlines.
Fri Aug 21 2009 To:CRTC Request for Stay of Execution: A request for stay of execution of 2009-484 which is the decision to authorize Bell to start billoing UBB rates in early november.
