ORDER
Adopted:  June 8, 2007  Released:  June 8, 2007
By the Associate Chief, Wireline Competition Bureau:
1. In this Order, pursuant to section 10(c) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the 
Act),1 we extend by 90 days the date by which the petition requesting forbearance, filed by Qwest Inc. 
(Qwest),2 shall be deemed granted in the absence of a Commission decision that the petition fails to meet 
the standards for forbearance under section 10(a) of the Act.3
2. On June 13, 2006, Qwest filed a petition requesting that the Commission forbear from
applying Title II of the Act and the Commission’s Computer Inquiry rules to any broadband services 
Qwest does or may offer to the extent those services are not offered as part of an Internet access service.4
3. Section 10(c) of the Act states that a petition for forbearance shall be deemed granted if the 
Commission does not deny the petition for failure to meet the requirements for forbearance under section 
10(a) within one year after the Commission receives it, unless the Commission extends the one-year 
period.5 The Commission may extend the initial one-year period by an additional 90 days if the 
Commission finds that an extension is necessary to meet the requirements of section 10(a).6
4. The petition under review raises significant questions regarding whether forbearance from 
application of Title II of the Act and the Commission’s Computer Inquiry rules to Qwest’s broadband 
services meets the statutory requirements set forth in section 10(a). The Bureau thus finds that a 90-day 
extension is warranted under section 10(c).
5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 10 of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 160, and authority delegated under sections 0.91 and 0.291 of the 
Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.91, 0.291,7 the date on which Qwest’s forbearance petition shall be 
deemed granted, in the absence of a Commission denial of the petition for failure to meet the statutory 
standards for forbearance, is extended to September 11, 2007.
