I. SUMMARY

This decision grants limited rehearing to modify D.06-01-043 (the Decision), a change-of-law proceeding resulting from changes in federal unbundling obligations of incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs). The Decision adopts an amendment to existing interconnection agreements (ICAs) that various competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) have with SBC California (SBC). SBC was directed to negotiate amendments to its ICAs with CLECs in order to implement the changes in unbundling rules and to initiate a consolidated proceeding to resolve any disputed issues. Issues upon which the parties were unable to agree are the subject of the Decision.

We modify our ruling with respect to whether Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules on fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC), and hybrid loop rules apply to all customers, or only to mass market customers. We originally held that these rules apply only to mass market customers. Upon reconsideration of this issue, we have determined that FTTH, FTTC and hybrid loop rules apply to all customers. In addition, we clarify the Decision in certain respects, as discussed herein, and correct clerical errors. The rehearing of D.06-01-043, as modified, is denied in all respects.
