Decision DRAFT DECISION OF ALJ BEMESDERFER (Mailed 9/9/2003)

BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

In the Matter of the Application of SBC California (U 1001 C) for Authority Pursuant to Section 851 of the California Public Utilities Code Lease Space to SNET Diversified Group, Inc.

Application 03-05-017 (Filed May 9, 2003)

OPINION CONFIRMING THAT SBC CALIFORNIA MAY GRANT A LICENSE PURSUANT TO GENERAL ORDER 69-C TO ITS AFFILIATE
SNET DIVERSIFIED GROUP, INC. FOR SPACE IN
THREE SBC CENTRAL OFFICE BUILDINGS

Summary

In this decision, we confirm that SBC California (SBC) may enter a license agreement with its affiliate SNET Diversified Group, Inc. (SNET), which permits SBC to license the use of small amounts of space in each of three central office buildings to SNET, pursuant to General Order (G.O.) 69-C, without prior Commission approval. We therefore dismiss SBC's application because under G.O. 69-C, the Commission need not consider the application further.
