RESOLUTION T-16551. REVOCATION OF CERTIFICATES OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY OF 20 NON-DOMINANT INTEREXCHANGE CARRIERS FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH COMMISSION DECISIONS.

_________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY

This resolution revokes the Non-Dominant Interexchange Carrier (NDIEC) Certificates of Public Conveniences and Necessity (CPCNs) held by the twenty companies listed in the Discussion Section for failure to comply with Decision 93-05-010, Ordering Paragraph 4.

BACKGROUND

Decision 93-05-010 Ordering Paragraph 4 states that the Commission will consider the revocation of competitive carriers that are more than 90 days late in filing annual reports and remitting surcharges.

Several steps were taken to locate the 20 companies and determine their status:

1. Telecom Division's (TD) record of surcharge payments was searched.

2. Warning letters of pending revocation were sent to companies' last known addresses.

3. Notice of company names to be revoked was placed in the Commission Calendar. Interested parties were invited to call Telecom Division staff with questions or comments on these carriers' revocations.

DISCUSSION

The companies whose certificates of public conveniences and necessity are revoked by this resolution are the following:

	CPCN#	Company Name
1.	5201	Long Distance Network Services
2.	5209	One-2-One Communications
3.	5219	WBC Communications
4.	5245	Telepacific Telecommunications
5.	5252	Int'l Telecom Exchange
6.	5254	Comtech Mobile Telephone
7.	5285	American Teletronics
8.	5305	Digicom
9.	5309	Addtel Communications, Inc.
10.	5322	Phoenix Communications-LD
11.	5325	Applied Signal Corp.
12.	5328	Ascending Technologies
13.	5343	MTC Management Corp.
14.	5344	Petracom Corp.
15.	5374	Cal-Tel Long Distance
16.	5396	Powernet Communications
17.	5405	WATS International
18.	5442	U.S.Digital Network L. P.
19.	5430	Total Telecom
20.	5432	Int'l. Digital Telecommunications

TD's Public Programs Branch records indicate that four of the companies have not fully remitted owed surcharge amounts. These are Comtech Mobile Telephone, Addtel Communications, Inc., Cal-Tel Long Distance, and WATS International. Legal Division should take any appropriate and practical steps to collect the unremitted surcharges.

The results of each search for these companies may be summarized as follows. TD's records show that none of the companies has submitted either surcharge forms or surcharges during the calendar year 2000. Warning letters were sent to all the companies; however, no response was received from any company. TD's draft resolution in this matter was noticed in the Commission's Daily Calendar beginning on August 7, 2001, in accordance with PU Code Section 311(g)(1). No comments were received from any party.

FINDINGS

1. The companies on the above list were certificated by the Commission as NDIECs.

2. Adequate measures were taken by Telecom Division staff to locate these companies. Each company had failed to respond to TD's communications. It is, therefore, reasonable to assume that these companies are no longer providing public utility service.

3. The companies' CPCNs should be revoked and their Utility Identification Numbers should be cancelled for failure to comply with D.93-05-010 Ordering Paragraph 4.

4. The Legal Division should take any reasonable and practical steps to recover the unremitted surcharges of the four companies listed in the Discussion Section.

THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that:

1. The Non-Dominant Interexchange Carrier Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity granted to the following companies are revoked:

	CPCN#	Company Name
1.	5201	Long Distance Network Services
2.	5209	One-2-One Communications
3.	5219	WBC Communications
4.	5245	Telepacific Telecommunications
5.	5252	Int'l Telecom Exchange
6.	5254	Comtech Mobile Telephone
7.	5285	American Teletronics
8.	5305	Digicom
9.	5309	Addtel Communications, Inc.
10.	5322	Phoenix Communications-LD
11.	5325	Applied Signal Corp.
12.	5328	Ascending Technologies
13.	5343	MTC Management Corp.
14.	5344	Petracom Corp.
15.	5374	Cal-Tel Long Distance
16.	5396	Powernet Communications
17.	5405	WATS International
18.	5442	U.S.Digital Network L. P.
19.	5430	Total Telecom
20.	5432	Int'l. Digital Telecommunications

2. The companies' Utility Identification Numbers are canceled and will not be reissued.

3. The Legal Division shall take any reasonable and practical steps to recover the unremitted surcharges of the four companies listed in the Discussion Section.

This Resolution is effective today.

I hereby certify that this Resolution was adopted by the Public Utilities Commission at its regular meeting on October 10, 2001. The following Commissioners approved it:
