Background

Verizon Ave. filed this application to exit the local voice market. Verizon Ave. proposed to use the Draft Mass Migration Guidelines issued in R.03-06-020, and the assigned Commissioner authorized use of the guidelines in a February 22, 2006 ruling. AT&T, the underlying carrier for Verizon Ave.'s customers, filed a response to the application on March 8, 2006. Although AT&T did not oppose the application, AT&T opposed being designated a default carrier for Verizon Ave. customers who did not choose an alternate local exchange provider.

Verizon Ave. provided the required customer notice. The 30-day notice letter was sent on March 24, 2006. In that letter, customers were notified that the Commission might appoint a default carrier to serve them should they fail to select an alternate provider. However, a substantial number of customers did not choose a new carrier. On April 21, 2006, I ordered the parties to meet and confer to discuss the transfer of Verizon Ave.'s remaining customers to AT&T and compensation for that transfer.

Verizon Ave. and AT&T reached agreement on compensation and related migration issues. In a May 9, 2006 letter, Verizon Ave. and AT&T noted the terms of that agreement, which include:

· Compensation of $4.75 per migrated customer consistent with AT&T's California billing record change order charge

· Third customer notice letter from Verizon Ave

· Welcoming letter from AT&T

· Transfer of local service and vertical features only

Verizon Ave. and AT&T note that the migration of remaining customers will require sharing certain customer-specific information, which might constitute protected customer proprietary network information. They request guidance on how to proceed.
