Pacific Bell Telephone Company, (U-1001-C) for Arbitration of an Interconnection Agreement with MClmetro Access Transmission Services, L.L.C. (U-5253-C) Pursuant to Section 252(b) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996

Summary: On August 2, 2001, Stephanie Krapf, Attorney, Pacific Telesis Group, met with Fassil Fenikile, advisor to Cmmr. Duque, in San Francisco. Also present were Yvette Hogue, Executive Director-Regulatory Matters, and Renee Stiles, General Manager-Regulatory Proceedings, for Pacific Bell Telephone Company (PacBell). Written material (attached to the notice) was used. PacBell stated that the Final Arbitrator's Report (FAR) incorrectly adopts MCImetro Access Transmission Services, LLC's (MCIm) proposed Directory Assistance Listings rates and that those rates are below PacBell's costs for providing those listings. PacBell also argued that the FAR incorrectly orders PacBell to provide OS & DA as unbundled network elements on the ground that MCIm's proposed customized routing solution allegedly is technically feasible. PacBell also stated, referring to dark fiber prices, that the FAR erroneously excludes investment costs. PacBell pointed out that the FAR erroneously finds that MCIm may resell PacBell's wholesale products and services to other wholesale customers.
