Managerial and Technical Qualifications

To be granted a CPCN for authority to provide local exchange service, an applicant must make a reasonable showing of managerial and technical expertise in telecommunications or a related business. Wavecom supplied biographical information on its management in Section 15 of its application that demonstrated that it has sufficient expertise and training to operate as a telecommunications provider.

Wavecom verified that no one associated with or employed by Wavecom as an affiliate, officer, director, partner, or owner of more than 10% of Wavecom was previously associated with a telecommunications carrier that filed for bankruptcy, or was sanctioned by the Federal Communications Commission or any state regulatory agency for failure to comply with any regulatory statute, rule, or order.

Wavecom also verified that no one associated with or employed by it as an affiliate, officer, director, partner, or owner of more than 10% of Wavecom was previously associated with any telecommunications carrier that has been found either civilly or criminally liable by a court of appropriate jurisdiction for a violation of § 17000, et seq. of the California Business and Professions Code, or for any actions which involved misrepresentations to consumers, nor is currently under investigation for similar violations.

We find that Wavecom is in compliance with the requirements of Rule 4.A of D.95-12-056.
