I. Summary
This decision resolves outstanding issues in this proceeding relating to the adjustment, or "true-up," of interim unbundled network element (UNE) rates to permanent rate levels now that permanent rates have been adopted for Pacific Bell Telephone Company d/b/a SBC California (SBC-CA) in Decision (D.) 04-09-063.
This order lifts the stay of billing adjustments established through Ordering Paragraph 4 of D.04-09-063, and orders payment of billing adjustments as follows:
· Nine carriers whose cash or cash equivalents indicate they possess cash at least 10 times the amount of their true-up debt shall pay their true-up obligations immediately, within 10 days from this order.
· All other carriers shall pay in equal installments over 12 months, subject to interest and late payment penalties.
· All billing disputes arising from payment of the true-up shall be handled through arrangements in existing interconnection agreements.
· True-up payments should be calculated based on the current 21% shares and common cost markup. From the effective date of this order, the shared and common cost markup shall remain in effect unless changed prospectively by a revised markup in Application (A.) 04-03-013 (the 2004 SBC-CA UNE Reexamination proceeding).
