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.
