Telus's blocking of the Voices for Change site generated considerable criticism of the company's actions. (5) According to Telus spokespeople, the ISP was justified in blocking the site because it contained confidential "proprietary information" about Telus, encouraged people to tie up call centre phone lines, and endangered non-union staff by posting pictures of them crossing picket lines.

In Telecom Decision 2007-92 on September 27, the CRTC granted forbearance for eligible business local services in 35 exchanges, including Victoria, most of Greater Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Fort McMurray and Rimouski, which cover about two-thirds of TELUS' total business lines. Decision 2007-92 deregulated services such as single and multi- line business access, features and bundles, integrated services digital network primary rate interface (ISDN-PRI) and direct-in-dial (DID). TELUS' IP- One Evolution(R) service, Centrex service and enhanced exchange wide dialling (EEWD) lines were not included in this decision and are expected to be addressed in proceedings under Telecom Public Notice 2007-14, in early 2008.

TELUS has issued guidance on and reports on certain non-GAAP measures that are used by management to evaluate performance of business units, segments and the Company. In addition, non-GAAP measures are used in measuring compliance with debt covenants and are used to manage the capital structure. Because non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning, securities regulations require that non-GAAP measures be clearly defined and qualified, and reconciled with their nearest GAAP measure. For the readers' reference, the definition, calculation and reconciliation of consolidated non-GAAP measures is provided in Section 11: Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures and definition of key operating indicators.
