DECISION GRANTING, IN PART, THE PETITIONS OF
VERIZON CALIFORNIA INC. (VERIZON) AND VERIZON/COVAD COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY TO MODIFY D.06-03-025

1. Summary

We grant Verizon California Inc.'s (Verizon) request to restructure the rates for switching, multiplexing and dark fiber to reflect how Verizon currently provisions and bills for those elements. We clarify that the rate adopted for the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) option is in addition to the deaveraged loop rate. We reject Verizon's request to place delisted elements in a separate appendix, but have included footnotes in Appendix A to show which elements are no longer UNEs. We have eliminated a few elements that Verizon says it does not provide. We also grant Verizon and Covad Communications Company's (Covad) Joint Petition to price xDSL copper loops at the same rates as those adopted for two-wire and four-wire geographically deaveraged copper loops.
