As part of this process, Bell Canada has filed proposals with the CRTC that are intended to: * Ensure that competition is maintained and encouraged in Canada‘s healthy, competitive telecommunications market; * Encourage investment in the communications industry, ensuring continued innovation and leadingâ€"edge technology; * Extend and improve local service in many remote areas; and * Ensure prices for local service remain affordable. Today, Canadians benefit from a worldâ€"leading communications industry with some of the most advanced and lowest priced telephone services anywhere. * Canadian prices for basic local service are lower than comparable services in other major industrialized countries. + Long distance prices in Canada have fallen more than 40 per cent since the introduction of competition. * Close to 99 per cent of Canadians have basic telephone service, a higher percentage than in the U.S. * Canadians benefit from the world‘s lowest prices for Internet access (both dialâ€"up and highâ€"speed). For many services, such as long distance, wireless and Internet access, Canada‘s low prices are a direct result of competition and clearly demonstrate the benefits of reliance on market forces. While the prices for many services are subject to market forces alone, local telephone services, such as the basic connection to the home and office and payphone services, are subject to a number of regulatory rules. Bell‘s proposal, which would come into effect over a fourâ€"year period beginning in 2002, does not call for specific price changes for regulated services. Rather, it recommends a framework that would limit any local service price changes, subject to CRTC approval, based on the following: * Monthly prices for basic local residential and business services in most areas could increase, on average, by no more than the annual rate of inflation; * Monthly prices for basic service in rural and remote areas â€" where prices today ate far below the cost of providing the service â€" could increase by no more than $2.00 each year, to a maximum monthly charge of $29.65 at the end of the fourâ€"year period; + Ongoing monitoring of the effects of price increases on affordability would continue; GUELPH CGD:«!»:+ NISSAN 805 WOODLAWN ROAD W., py. #7, GUELPH AUTO MALL 2â€"9200 rax: 1s7â€"0082 KW & Cambridge 658â€"6798 Internet users reach us at ww Highlights of the Bell Proposal CRTC Reviewing Rules for Local Telephone Service Prices Canadian Industry Facts Total tease obligation is $27,901 which or eâ€"mail at infot are free to set individual prices.

Through gradual and moderate increases in basic residential service prices, service would remain affordable, while encouraging greater competition and innovation.
