WHEREAS the City of Ottawa has brought a

AND WHEREAS Rogers has brought a
counter-claim against the City for the over-payment of access fees between 1998
and 2004;

consistent with the principles set out in Ledcor/Vancouver - Construction,
operation and maintenance of transmission lines in Vancouver, Decision CRTC 2001-23 25 January 2001. The
Commission finds that MTS Allstream failed to demonstrate that its predecessor,
MetroNet Communications Group Inc., did not intend to enter into a municipal
access agreement with Calgary (the Agreement) and that the Agreement did not
validly represent its acceptance of the terms because of mistake, duress,
inequality of bargaining power or other circumstances. In other words
the agreements should remain in force because they were entered in good faith;

matters fall under federal jurisdiction. Therefore matters involving telecom
companies are not subject to provincial regulations;

Ottawa turn down Rogers request for a settlement and continue to pursue the

former City of Ottawa, its partner municipalities and the RMOC at an
approximate value of $300,000 per year.
