OPINION ADOPTING WHOLESALE
DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE LISTING PRICES
I. Summary
By today's decision, we establish wholesale rates applicable to the provisioning of service under Pacific Bell Telephone Company's dba SBC California (SBC) Directory Assistance Listing Information Service (DALIS) tariffs. DALIS is a wholesale service offered to third-party vendors whereby SBC furnishes directory assistance (DA) data (i.e., listed names, addresses, and telephone numbers) for third-party vendors' use in providing directory assistance services to retail customers. Third-party vendors that utilize DALIS include competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), other telecommunications carriers, and other independent DA vendors.
The prices we adopt are based upon review of the DALIS study submitted by SBC as well as responsive comments, declarations, discovery and depositions submitted by opposing interests, designated as the "Joint Parties."1 Of the two DALIS pricing proposals before us, we conclude that prices based upon SBC's cost study as modified by this Decision are reasonable. Accordingly, we adopt DALIS prices of $0.0059 for each update listing and $0.0010 for each initial load listing. We also adopt a separate Tape Delivery fee of $16.12 per tape.
1 The Joint Parties consist of LSSI Corp, Metro One Telecommunications, Inc., and WorldCom, Inc.
