    APPENDIX 4 and the stafffor their handling ofthese very complex, competitive dockets. There have been 2 hundreds ofstaffhoUTS that have gone into these issues. In some instances, for example, 3 operating systems. The Commission has first-hand knowledge that is different from the AU's; 4 however, there are a number ofsuggestions in the AU's reports that have a good deal ofmerit 5 and which I believe shouJd be dealt with by this Commission. Thank you. 6 CHAIRMAN OWEN: All right. Commissioner"Field 7 COMMISSIONER FIELD: Thank you, Chairman Owen. I too am very much aware ofthe 8 consumer's interest in this matter, and I just want to remind the Commission that the local 9 telephone exchange business approximates $900 million a year in this state and that is a concern IO too as well as the long distance where we do have competition now. I have a motion that I'd like II to make which I think procedurally sets the groundwork for the FCC to eventually approve 12 BellSouth going into in region long distance service J think it showed due deliberations on the 13 part ofthis Commission I think it's a motion that BellSouth apparently accommodated in a 14 similar matter the Georgia Commission and, without further ado - and I will say this, ifthis 15 motion was granted and the SGAT was approved at our October 22 meeting and BellSouth filed 16 on November 1st and the FCC approved, they could be offering long distance service 17 approximately April 1st, 1998 My motion is that pursuant to Section 252(f) ofthe 18 Telecommunications Act of 1996 I move that BellSouth grant the Commission an additional 60 19 days or until the regularly scheduled October 22, 1997 Open Session, whichever is later, in which 20 to approve, reject or allow BellSouth's SGAT to become effective.
