 By  this  Public  Notice,  we  seek  comment  on  a  petition  filed  April  7,  2006  by  AT&  T  Inc.,  on  behalf  of  the  Pacific  Bell  Telephone  Company,  Southwestern  Bell  Telephone  Company,  The  Ameritech 
 Operating  Companies,  The  Southern  New  England  Telephone  Company,  and  Nevada  Bell  Telephone  Company  (collectively  “AT&  T”).  AT&  T  requests  a  limited  waiver  of  section  61.42(  g)  of  the 
 Commission’s  rules  so  that  it  may  exclude  True  IP  to  PSTN  (“  TIPToP”)  service  from  any  price  cap  basket  in  the  upcoming  2006  annual  access  tariff  filing.  1  TIPToP  is  a  service  that  provides  Internet 
 Protocol  Voice  Information  Service  (IP-  VIS)  providers  with  connectivity  between  the  IP-  VIS  provider’s  network  and  the  AT&  T  network.  2  In  support  of  its  petition,  AT&  T  states  that  TIPToP  is  an  innovative 
 service  that  does  not  fit  squarely  within  either  the  traffic  sensitive  or  trunking  price  cap  basket  and  that  such  service  is  not  purchased  by  any  unaffiliated  customers.  3  AT&  T  requests  expedited  treatment  of  its 
 petition.  4
