Description: SUMMARY: On December 5, 2007 Eric Batongbacal, Executive Director - Regulatory for AT&T Communications of California (AT&T California) had a telephone conversation with Kelly Hymes, advisor to Cmmr. Grueneich. Batongbacal stated that the Proposed Decision ("PD") in this proceeding should be modified. The PD's effective cap for CLEC access charges Verizon's access rate - is too high, at least when applied to CLEC switched access service provided in territories served by AT&T California. The Commission should adopt a cap on CLEC switched access rates like that imposed by the FCC on CLEC switched access rates to prevent CLECs from charging excessive rates: the switched access rate of the ILEC operating in the territory served by the CLEC. The Commission should hold this PD from a vote on December 6 to allow the Commission more time to analyze the issue. Contact Person: Noreen Urrutia; telephone: (415) 778-1299.

The PD's effective cap for CLEC access charges - Verizon's access rate - is too high, at least when applied to CLEC switched access service provided in territories served by AT&T California. It sends the wrong pricing signals, distorts the market place for long distance services and certainly does not result in a level playing field for all providers for switched access service, the purported goal of the PD. The Commission should adopt a cap on CLEC switched access rates like that imposed by the FCC on CLEC switched access rates to prevent CLECs from charging excessive rates: the switched access rate of the ILEC operating in the territory served by the CLEC. In CLEC territory served by Verizon, the cap would be Verizon's switched access rate, and in CLEC territory served by AT&T California the cap would be AT&T California's switched access rate.

Description: SUMMARY: On December 3, 2007 Eric Batongbacal, Executive Director-Regulatory for Pacific Bell Telephone Company; AT&T Communications of California; TCG Los Angeles, Inc.; TCG San Diego; and TCG San Francisco (collectively "AT&T") met with Lester Wong, advisor to Pres. Peevey in San Francisco. Also present was Kelly Hymes, advisor to Cmmr. Grueneich; Lindsay Brown, advisor to Cmmr. Bohn; Marzia Zafar, advisor to Cmmr. Simon; Stephen St. Marie, advisor to Cmmr. Bohn; Robert Haga, advisor to Cmmr. Chong; Gregory Castle, Senior Attorney for AT&T; and Fassil Fenikile, Director, Regulatory for AT&T. Written materials (attached to the notice) were used. AT&T stated that the Proposed Decision ("PD") in this proceeding should be modified. The PD's effective cap for CLEC access charges - Verizon's access rate - is too high, at least when applied to CLEC switched access service provided in territories served by AT&T California. It sends the wrong pricing signals and distorts the market place for long distance services. Setting CLEC switched access charges at Verizon's rate would mean that Verizon and all CLECs would be allowed to offer switched access at rates three times higher than the rate offered by AT&T California. The Commission should adopt a cap on CLEC switched access rates like that imposed by the FCC on CLEC switched access rates to prevent CLECs from charging excessive rates. In CLEC territory served by Verizon, the cap would be Verizon's switched access rate, and in CLEC territory served by AT&T California the cap would be AT&T California's switched access rate. CLECs should be able to charge only for functions they actually provide, and AT&T California and Verizon should be able to make changes to their access charges using the procedures applicable to those services prior the Uniform Regulatory Framework Decision.

Description: SUMMARY: On November 30, 2007 Richard Severy, Assistant General Counsel of Verizon Business met with Lindsay Brown, advisor to Cmmr. Bohn in San Francisco. Also present was Kurt Rasmussen, Director-Regulatory of Verizon California Inc. Written material (attached to the notice) was used. Verizon's representatives expressed support for the ALJ's Proposed Decision ("PD") with only minor changes described in the company's comments. Verizon explained that the PD's decision to cap CLECs' intrastate switched access rates at the level of the ILECs' rates is reasonable, supported by the record and consistent with policies adopted by the FCC and other state commissions. Verizon's representatives also explained that there is no record evidence that a price cap rule would financially harm CLECs, whereas the record shows that excessive access rates harms competition and consumers.

Description: SUMMARY: On November 29, 2007 Douglas Garrett, Vice President, Western Region Regulatory Affairs for Cox California Telcom, L.L.C. (Cox) had a telephone conversation with Lester Wong, advisor to Pres. Peevey in San Francisco. Garrett reiterated Cox's support for a decision that would cap CLEC access rates at either 2.5 cents or the higher of AT&T's or Verizon's rates and would allow CLECs an appropriate time to transition if they would be required to decrease rates below 2.5 cents. Garrett stated Cox's opposition to any proposal that would require CLECs to charge the same intrastate access rate as that of AT&T.

Description: SUMMARY: On November 27, 2007 Richard Severy, Assistant General Counsel, Verizon Business met with Lester Wong, advisor to Pres. Peevey in San Francisco.

Verizon's representatives expressed that the Proposed Decision's (PD) decision to cap CLEC access rates at the level of the ILECs' is reasonable, supported by the record and consistent with policies adopted by the FCC and other state commissions. Because this proceeding was never intended to examine carrier costs, and the selected benchmark is based on rates, not costs, any criticism that the PD did not consider costs is misplaced. Verizon's representatives also explained that there was no evidence that a price cap rule would financially harm CLECs, whereas the record shows excessive access rates harms competition and consumers.

Description: SUMMARY: On November 26, Glenn Stover, counsel for Navigator Telecommunications, L.L.C. (Navigator), met with Lester Wong, advisor to Pres. Peevey in San Francisco. Also present was Marzia Zafar, advisor to Cmmr. Simon. Written material (attached to the notice) was used. Stover explained: (a) why Navigator believes that the Proposed Decision in this case violates the Public Utilities Code's requirement that Commission decisions be based on substantial evidence; (b) how the Proposed Decision would place California competitive local exchange carriers ("CLECs") in an anticompetitive price squeeze; and (c) how the Proposed Decision's proposal to place price controls on a CLEC service was both unprecedented and entirely inconsistent with the Commission's repeated findings, in published decisions, that CLECs utterly lack market power and, indeed, with last summer's published finding that AT&T and Verizon entirely lack market power in California, as well. On November 27, 2007, Stover met separately with Kelly Hymes, advisor to Cmmr. Grueneich; Robert Haga, advisor to Cmmr. Chong; and Lindsay Brown, advisor to Cmmr. Bohn in San Francisco. Stover made the same points as are described above and left the same summary of the points he wished to make. Contact Person: Glenn Stover; telephone: (415) 495-7000; e-mail: glenn@stoverlaw.net.

SureWest and Frontier (collectively, Mid-sized ILEC) stated that the Proposed Decision of ALJ Bushey would modify intrastate access charges for the Mid-sized ILECs. Mid-sized ILEC summarized their proposal that their access charge rates should be reduced by the amount of the SureWest TIC and described the "per line" rate increases that would be required for SureWest and Frontier to recover the reduction in revenue that would result from the Proposed Decision's imposition of an access charge cap at the Verizon rate.

Description: SUMMARY: On November 8, 2007 Jeff Compton, Vice President for Telscape Communications, Inc (Telscape) met with Kelly Hymes, advisor to Cmmr. Grueneich in San Francisco. Also present were Lester Wong, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey; Lindsay Brown, advisor to Cmmr. Bohn; John Clark of the law firm, Goodin, MacBride, Squeri, Day & Lamprey, LLP. Written materials (attached to the notice) were used. Telscape's representatives reiterated Telscape's opposition to the proposed decision to cap CLEC access charges at ILEC rates after a one year transition period. Telscape contended that the recommended transitional rate would eliminate concern over unduly high rates and that reducing rates further would unfairly tilt the playing field in favor of ILECs, particularly if CLECs were required to mirror the ILECs' rate elements. Telscape explained that because CLECs utilize transport network elements that are different from those used by ILECs, requiring CLECs to mirror ILECs's access charges would not permit CLECs to recover their transport network costs even though CLECs provide the same functionality to interexchange carriers as ILECs. Telscape recommended that, if the Commission continues to find it necessary to cap CLECs' access charges based on ILEC rates, CLECs should be permitted to charge functionally equivalent amounts for functionally equivalent services. Telscape indicated that Verizon's rates are far more appropriate than AT&T's rates to use as a base because AT&T's rates were arbitrarily reduced several years ago by a substantial amount in order to offset CHCF-B funding and, therefore, bear less of a relation to cost than Verizon's rates.

DeYoung advised that in light of the Commission's determination to impose an intrastate access rate cap for CLECs, CALTEL believed that the Proposed Decision issued by ALJ Bushey on October 16, 2007 was fair and balanced and that CALTEL would support the plan as outlined. CALTEL further advised that its support was predicated on the Commission imposing a rate cap at either the current of Verizon's or AT&T's intrastate access rates, whichever is higher. DeYoung stated that CALTEL would propose clarifying language to that effect in its response to the Proposed Decision. Contact Person: Margaret L.
