Appendix D: Verizon's Illustrations

This appendix contains graphics created by Verizon with the intention of illustrating certain concepts. Their presentation here does not imply that the Commission necessarily agrees with these illustrations as adequate analogies for OSS processes. The analogies presented may be helpful in some contexts, but may be either inadequate and/or unhelpful in other contexts. They are presented here solely for the purpose of discussing Verizon's positions.
