CRTC ISSUES REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR NATIONAL DO NOT CALL LIST

CRTC Release

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) today issued a Request for Proposal to find an operator to develop, implement and manage the National Do Not Call List (National DNCL).

The National DNCL will help reduce the number of unsolicited calls Canadians receive as they will have the option of adding their numbers to the database. The CRTC published rules for the creation and operation of the list on July 3, 2007.

Interested parties must submit proposals that demonstrate that they meet certain mandatory requirements. Amongst other factors, bidders must:

• Possess the financial resources to offset the expected start-up costs and the first two years of operational costs.
• Provide a company profile describing their relevant knowledge and experience.
• Possess a qualified project management team capable of developing and managing the National DNCL for the duration of the contract.

The Request for Proposal is publicly available through the MERX website, at www.merx.com, and will close on September 10, 2007.
