EE community roundup

Bowen to vote
on phone service

JELEPHONE customers on
Bowen Island will be asked
by B.C. Tel to vote on a
proposal which would give
them one-way toll free
calling to Vancouver.

About 851 subscribers in
the “947” exchange area
have been mailed ballots
which should be returned to
B.C. Tel by the end of April
to be counted in the
plebiscite.

Perry Hedman, district
customer service manager
for the area, said that if the
proposal is approved, work
needed for the installation of
the necessary cable and
switching equipment would
begin immediately. The one-
way toll free system could be
m service by early 1984.

The extended area service

was developed by
B.C. Tel to meet the needs of
people such as those on
Bowen Island who rely on a
larger centre for the
majority of their basic needs
such as police and medical
services, as well as banking,
professional, government
and school services.

Hedman said that im-
plementation of the
program, which provides a
community with one-way
toll free calling to a centre
where the required services
are located, would mean an
mecrease in the monthly
exchange rates for Bowen
Island customers. The
following charges would

apply (with existing charges
shown in brackets):

Residence phones: _in-
dividual $12.25 ($6.95); two
party $7.95 ($4.50); multi-
party $6.60 ($3.75).

Business phones: _in-
dividual $39.25 ($13.60):
multi-party $18.55 ($7.45).

The increased exchange
rates associated with ex-
tended area service reflect
the fact that ‘Bowen Island

customers would ‘have
access, at flat rates, to an
additional 331,290 Van-
couver telephone = sub-

scribers. The rate structure
is based on longterm costs of
providing toll free calling.
The extended area service
program has been developed
in cooperation with the
Company's regulator the
Canadian Radio-television
and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC). Im-
plementation requires the
TC's approval.
ecause the
involves an increase in
rates, Hedman urged
customers to participate in
the plebiscite process in
order that the company may
provide the CRTC with the
community’s clear opinion

program

of the toll free calling
proposal.

The rate structure for
Vancouver subscribers

would not be affected since
they would not have toll free
calling with Bowen Island.
