DECISION GRANTING SPRINT NEXTEL'S REQUEST TO PORT-IN
TO CALIFORNIA A KENTUCKY INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT,
SUBJECT TO CERTAIN LIMITATIONS

1. Summary

In this decision, we grant the request of Sprint Communications Company L.P., Sprint Spectrum L.P. as agent for WirelessCo L.P. and Sprint Telephony PCS, L.P., and Nextel of California, Inc. to port-in to California an interconnection agreement approved by the Kentucky Public Service Commission, subject to certain limitations. The requirement for AT&T, Inc. (AT&T) to allow telecommunications carriers to port approved interconnection agreements to other states arises out of the merger commitments agreed to by AT&T as a condition of Federal Communications Commission approval of its merger with BellSouth Corporation.

However, the decision finds that the bill-and-keep and facility sharing arrangements in the Kentucky agreement may not be ported because they constitute "state-specific pricing." The merger commitment excludes state-specific pricing from the porting requirement.

This proceeding is closed.
