The service quality measurement plan
for interstate special access would require the respondents to
report special access performance metrics on a quarterly basis.
Because, pursuant to Section 272(f)(1) Sunset of the BOC Separate
Affiliate and Related Requirements; 2000 Biennial Regulatory Review
Separate Affiliate Requirements of Section 64.1903 of the
Commissions Rules; Petition of AT&T Inc. for Forbearance Under
47 U.S.C. § 160(c) with Regard to Certain Dominant Carrier
Regulations for In-Region, Interexchange Services, WC Docket Nos.
02-112, 06-120, CC Docket No. 00-175, Report and Order and
Memorandum Opinion and Order, 22 FCC Rcd 16440 (2007) (Section 272
Sunset Order), the respondents are no longer required to comply
with the section 272 structural safeguards, the special access
performance metrics reporting requirements will ensure that these
carriers do not engage in non-price discrimination in the provision
of special access services to unaffiliated entities and will
provide the FCC and other interested parties with reasonable tools
to monitor these carriers performance in providing these special
access services to themselves and their competitors. The monthly
usage reporting requirement would require the respondents to
provide each of their residential customers who subscribe to a call
plan that establishes a single rate for unlimited wireline local
exchange and long distance telecommunications service with the
total number of long distance telecommunications service minutes
used by that customer each month. This monthly usage reporting
requirement will help ensure that, as a result of the relief
granted in the Section 272 Sunset Order residential interstate long
distance consumers receive adequate information regarding their
monthly usage in order to make informed choices among alternative
long distance calling plans.
