JfiH tl I 02 PM '01 BEFORE THE ARKANSAS PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION IN THE MATTER OF SOUTHWESTERN BELL 1 FILED TELEPHONE, L.P.'S PETITION TO INITIATE 1 A RULEMAKING TO ADOPT THE REQUIRE- 1 MENTS FOR DESIGNATION AS AN ) DOCKET NO. 06-050-R ELIGIBLE TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIER ) SET FORTH IN 47 C.F.R. 5554.201 (d), (e}, (f), 1 (g), (h), AND (i),54.202 AND 54.209 1 SUPPLEMENTAL COMMENTS OF SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE, L.P. Southwestern Bell Telephone, L.P. d/b/a AT8T Arkansas ("AT&T Arkansas") hereby submits its Supplemental Comments as permitted by Order No. 5. In its Response to Petition and Notice of Participation, the General Staff ("Staff") recommended that the Commission issue a declaratory order "stating that, in addition to the applicable state and federal statutory requirements, the Commission will apply the current FCC Rules governing ETC designation in evaluating all prospective requests for designation of €TCs for FUSF support" rather than to engage in formal rulemaking. Staff Response, p. 2. While continuing to advocate that the adoption of a formal rule incorporating the FCC's enhanced ETC eligibility criteria adopted in the ETC Eligibility Order was preferable to the issuance of a declaratory order and implementation through --ad hoc determinations in contested cases, AT&T Arkansas indicated in its Comments and Reply Comments submitted in response to Order No. 3 that the Staff's approach had merit and that it was willing to accept the less formal approach recommended by Staff. AT&T Arkansas Comments, pp. 6-7;AT&T Arkansas Reply Comments, pp. 5-6. AT&T Arkansas did not, however, explain in any detail how it perceives the Staff's approach would actuaIly work in practice and this supplement is intended to do so. 1 In the ETC Eligibility Order, the FCC adopted enhanced ETC eligibility criteria which, taken together, define and establish what is required to demonstrate that an applicant's request for federal ETC status is consistent with the public interest, convenience and necessity under 47 U.S.C. 5214(e). Therefore, if the Cornmission chooses to adopt Staff's use of a declaratory order rather than engage in formal rulemaking, it should treat the FCC's enhanced ETC eligibility criteria as aspects of the public interest, convenience and necessity. All current and prospective applicants for federal ETC status should be advised in the declaratory order that their applications or petitions should address the FCC's enhanced ETC eligibility criteria and should demonstrate how they will meet and comply with these criteria as part of their public interest showing. If a particular criterion or requirement is inapplicable or the applicant is incapable of complying with the criterion, the applicant should be required to make a showing in support of its position why the ETC eligibility criterion should not be applied to it and considered by the Commission in determining the public interest, convenience and necessity. The rulings of the Commission on these issues on an ad hoc basis in future contested cases will provide Arkansas telecommunications providers with further guidance on whether their requests meet the requirements of the pubIic interest, convenience and necessity. In sum, if the Commission chooses not to engage in formal rulemaking but rather decides to adopt Staff's less formal approach, it need not adopt the FCC's enhanced ETC eligibility criteria as substantive requirements. Rather, it could treat the FCC's enhanced ETC eligibility criteria as aspects of the public interest, convenience 2 and necessity and mandate that all current and future applicants seeking designation as federal ETCs address these criteria in their applications or petitions.

  • BOOK II Bell History and Strategies
    The Unauthorized Bio Of The Baby Bells 88 BOOK II Bell History and Strategies: Shareholders First, Customers Last What does the Star Wars' Evil Empire and Bell Atlantic Have in Common? James Earl Jones was the Voice of Darth Vadar and is the Voice Of Bell Atlantic— Are There Other Commonalties? The Unauthorized Bio Of The Baby Bells 89 "Food For Thought" Interlude— Conspiracy or Miscalculation? Book 1 leaves us with a serious dilemma, especially about the I-Way. First, we know straightforwardly that the plans were all scrapped and the announced services were never delivered. But we are left with wondering how both the telephone companies as well as their consultants, were so wrong. Let's look at the options: There were three massive errors in judgment: • Mistakes in the costs of rolling out the network • Mistakes in overestimating demand • Mistakes by the research/consulting suppliers Let's walk through each one: • Mistakes in the Costs of Rolling Out the Network: The original cost model for the I-Way was estimated at around $1,200 per household. However, Bell Atlantic stated that the cost of their trials came to $16,000 per line. This includes the cost of the various Info Highway components in the home, described earlier, as well as the cost of the fiber- optic networks. But, that's a difference per line of 1233%. Of course there are caveats. Most importantly, that the trickle of a rollout was only a "test" of advanced services, and with larger volumes of users, the costs would decline. In fact, Bell Atlantic's original plans may have actually called for a great deal less spending than $1,200 a line.
