ALJ/MAB/avs DRAFT Item 1 12/21/2000
Decision DRAFT DECISION OF ALJ BUSHEY (Mailed 11/14/2000)
BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
The Utility Consumers' Action Network (UCAN), Complainant, vs. MCI Metro Access Transmission Services (MCI Metro), Inc., Defendants. |
Case 98-06-016 (Filed June 2, 1998) |
OPINION
Summary
In this decision, the Commission finds that that MCI Metro Access Transmission Services (MCI Metro) has resolved all billing errors1 included in this proceeding, and that these errors support a fine of $250,000 as requested by the Utility Consumers' Action Network (UCAN). MCI Metro's forthright and cooperative conduct in resolving these errors, however, mitigates the need for the fine, and we will, therefore, not impose the requested fine.
1 The billing errors resolved in this proceeding are limited to those issues specifically delineated in this decision with regard to local exchange service provided by MCI Metro. Accordingly, this decision does not address any billing or service transfer issues relating to long distance service provided by any MCI Metro affiliate.
