PUBLIC NOTICE Federal Communications Commission 445 12th St., S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 News Media Information 202 / 418-0500 Internet: http://www.fcc.gov TTY: 1-888-835-5322 DA 11-1576 Released: September 19, 2011 COMPETITION DATA REQUESTED IN SPECIAL ACCESS NPRM WC Docket No. 05-25, RM-10593 In this Public Notice, we invite voluntary submissions of data to assist the Commission in evaluating the various issues that have been raised in the Special Access NPRM.1 In that NPRM, the Commission explained that an examination of the current state of competition for special access services is critical to determine whether the Commission’s pricing flexibility rules are working as intended.2 In addition, the Commission sought comment on appropriate measures to ensure that price cap rates for special access services remain just and reasonable after expiration of the CALLS plan.3 Subsequently, the Commission sought updated information on these issues, and the parties continue to provide their views to Commission staff.4 On November 5, 2009, the Commission released a Public Notice inviting comment on the appropriate analytical framework for determining whether the current rules are working.5 The National Broadband Plan recommended that this framework ensure that rates, terms and conditions for special access are just and reasonable, given the significant role special access circuits play in the availability and pricing of fixed and mobile broadband services.6 Determining what data are available is a key factor in developing an appropriate framework. Moreover, there are certain data that would need to be reviewed regardless of which analytical framework is ultimately adopted. Accordingly, on October 28, 2010, the 1 See generally Special Access Rates for Price Cap Local Exchange Carriers, WC Docket No. 05-25, AT&T Corp. Petition for Rulemaking to Reform Regulation of Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier Rates for Interstate Special Access Services, RM-10593, Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 20 FCC Rcd 1994 (2005) (Special Access NPRM); 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.415, 1.419 (submitting comments and replies in rulemaking proceedings). 2 Special Access NPRM, 20 FCC Rcd at 2018-19, paras. 71-73. The Commission invited comment on whether the available data and actual marketplace developments support the predictive judgments that underlie the special access pricing flexibility rules. Id. at 1996, 2018-19, paras. 5, 71. 3 Id. at 1995, 2004, paras. 2, 22. 4 Parties Asked to Refresh Record in the Special Access Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, WC Docket No. 05-25, Public Notice, 22 FCC Rcd 13352 (2007). 5 Parties Asked to Comment on Analytical Framework Necessary to Resolve Issues in the Special Access NPRM, WC Docket No. 05-25, Public Notice, 24 FCC Rcd 13639 (2009). 6 Omnibus Broadband Initiative, Federal Communications Commission, Connecting America: The National Broadband Plan, at 48 (2010), available at http://download.broadband.gov/plan/national-broadband-plan.pdf (National Broadband Plan). 2 Commission issued the Special Access Facilities Data Public Notice, which sought detailed data on special access facilities.7 In this Public Notice, the Commission asks for voluntary submissions of pricing and related competition data.8 Given that many of the questions in this Public Notice seek data that is updated periodically to account for retroactive adjustments, we request that parties submit calendar-year 2010 data for most questions to provide us with the most current, thorough, and accurate snapshot of pricing and competition issues in this proceeding. If any party submits data that contain confidential and proprietary information, it shall submit such data in accordance with the Modified First Protective Order, the Second Protective Order, and supplements to the Second Protective Order issued in this proceeding.9 The data collected under this Public Notice will not be made immediately available to the public, in order to provide staff with sufficient time to perform an initial review for completeness and responsiveness. Data from this and the Special Access Facilities Data Public Notice10 will be available for inspection pursuant to applicable protective orders following this initial staff review. The Commission will notify the public of when inspection of confidential and highly confidential data from both Public Notices, pursuant to applicable protective orders, may begin. The Commission requests that the public voluntarily submit the requested data in response to this Public Notice on or before December 5, 2011. Responses to this data request may be filed on a rolling basis.11 I. Definitions for this data request: Changing Service Provider(s) or Change Service Providers means switching from your company’s current provider of DS1 and/or DS3 services (“current provider”) to another provider, whether the new provider is a facilities-based provider or leases facilities from your current provider. Collocator refers to the term as used pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 69.701 et seq. of the Commission’s rules, for purposes of applying for a grant of Phase I or Phase II Pricing Flexibility from the Commission. Thus, for purposes of this Public Notice, the definition of Collocator excludes competitive providers that collocate in carrier hotels. Contract-Based Tariff, for purposes of all questions except III.C.1 of this Public Notice, means an interstate Tariff based on a service contract entered into between a customer and a price cap local 7 Data Requested in Special Access NPRM, Public Notice, 25 FCC Rcd 15146 (2010) (Special Access Facilities Data Public Notice). 8 In this Public Notice, we seek facts or opinions submitted in response to our general solicitation of comments from the public. No person is required to supply specific information pertaining to the commenter, other than that necessary for self-identification, as a condition of our full consideration of the comment. Thus, this Public Notice does not seek “information” as that term is used in the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. See 5 C.F.R. §1320.3(h)(4); see also Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L. No. 104-13, 109 Stat. 163. 9 See In the Matter of Special Access Rates for Price Cap Local Exchange Carriers, Modified Protective Order, 25 FCC Rcd 15168 (2010); see also In the Matter of Special Access for Price Cap Local Exchange Carriers, Second Protective Order, 25 FCC Rcd 17725 (2010); Special Access for Price Cap Local Exchange Carriers, Letter from Sharon E.

Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) means those areas defined by 47 C.F.R. § 69.703(b) of the Commission’s rules. Non-MSA means an area referenced in 47 C.F.R. § 69.707(b) of the Commission’s rules. One Month Term Only Rate means, for purposes of this Public Notice, the non-discounted interstate Tariff rate for interstate DS1 and/or DS3 services. One Month Term Only Rates are those rates charged when the customer does not have a Term Discount, or does not subscribe to a Tariff Discount Plan, or continues to pay for service after a Tariff Discount Plan has expired at a default rate set by their provider. Packet-Switched Dedicated Services (PSDS) means dedicated packet services that transport data to one or more designated points with prescribed requirements, such as bandwidth, latency, jitter, encryption, quality of service, reliability, availability, or other parameters that define delivery in an agreement (such as a service level agreement (SLA)). Examples of PSDS include, but are not limited to: packet-switched services that are often described using terms such as MPLS; Virtual Private Network (VPN); Ethernet LAN, Ethernet WAN, Metro Ethernet, etc.; private line, private IP, private LAN, private WAN, etc.; virtual line, virtual connection, virtual network, etc.; point-to-point; and ring services. For purposes of this Public Notice, PSDS excludes: (1) circuit-switched dedicated services such as digital signal 1 (DS1) and digital signal 3 (DS3) services; optical carrier services, such as optical carrier N (OCN), where the “N” indicates a bandwidth multiple of 51.84 Mbps; and services reliant on synchronous optical networking (SONET) and synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH); (2) cell-switched dedicated communication services, such as those based on asynchronous transfer mode (ATM); (3) frame-switched dedicated communications services, such as Frame Relay; (4) UNEs; and (5) mass market DSL and cable modem broadband access. Phase I Pricing Flexibility area means, for purposes of all questions in this Public Notice except III.D.1 and III.D.2, any LSA where Phase I Pricing Flexibility has been granted, for channel terminations to end users as defined by 47 C.F.R. §69.703(a)(2), pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 69.701 et seq. of the Commission’s rules. Phase II Pricing Flexibility area means, for purposes of all questions in this Public Notice except III.D.1 and III.D.2 any LSA where Phase II Pricing Flexibility has been granted, for channel terminations to end users, as defined by 47 C.F.R. §69.703(a)(2), pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 69.701 et seq. of the Commission’s rules. Prior Purchase-Based Discounts are discounts based on one or both of the following types of commitments: (a) purchasing a certain number of circuits (or percentage thereof) based on amounts 12 See 47 U.S.C. §251; see also 47 C.F.R. §51.5 (defining network element), §51.319 (outlining specific unbundling requirements). 4 purchased in a previous period; and (b) obligating a certain level of expenditures (or percentage thereof) based on expenditures made in a previous period.

Tariff means an interstate tariff for DS1 or DS3 services, other than a Contract-Based Tariff defined above, as defined in 47 C.F.R. § 61.3(rr). Tariff Benefit Plan means an interstate Tariff plan for DS1 and/or DS3 services that does not offer a discount from any One Month Term Only Rate, but offers non-rate benefits such as the ability to move services without penalty. Tariff Discount Plan means interstate Tariff discounts, other than a Term Discount, for DS1 and/or DS3 services from any One Month Term Only Rate, such as discounts for volume or revenue commitments that may be based on a regional or nationwide basis. Term Discount means Tariff discounts for DS1 and/or DS3 services from any One Month Term Only Rate that provide customers with a circuit-specific discount in exchange for a term (but not volume) commitment for a specific circuit. II. Instructions 1. Unless otherwise specified, questions ask for responses as of calendar-year 2010 (January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010). 2.

Voluntary Information Request A. All Providers. We request that members of the public that are providers of DS1, DS3 and PSDS services respond to the following questions: 1. Terms and conditions. Describe any logistical constraints on a customer’s ability to make the transition from DS1s and DS3s: (a) to unregulated access services offered by your company; and (b) to unregulated access services offered by a competitor. Are there any constraints on how many circuits can be switched per day, per week, per month? Within what geographic region are those constraints applicable? Also state where your upgrade constraint policies are recorded, and how they are communicated to customers. 2. Terms and conditions. Explain what steps a customer must take to transition from regulated DS1 and/or DS3 services to unregulated PSDS provided by: (a) your company; and (b) a competitor, in order to avoid early termination or other penalties. In your response, provide the relevant Tariff or Contract- Based Tariff and section numbers, if applicable. 3. Terms and conditions. In each LSA in which you have submitted a response to a request for proposal (RFP) for DS1 and/or DS3 channel terminations to end users as defined by 47 C.F.R. §69.703(a)(2), but were not selected as the vendor, please describe the reasons your firm was not selected, if known, and whether those reasons were associated with terms and conditions for DS1 and/or DS3 services. B. ILEC Providers. We request that members of the public that are incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) providers of DS1, DS3, or PSDS services respond to the following questions: 1. ILEC Revenues. Please provide the information requested below on a national basis. An optional template is available at http://www.fcc.gov/wcb/ppd/pn2template.xls for your response to this question. Data elements and instructions for that template are identified in Table III.B.1 of Attachment B. a. Total intrastate and interstate Revenues generated by DS1 and DS3 services, separately for DS1 and DS3 services; b. Revenues generated from One Month Term Only Rates generated by DS1 and DS3 services, separately for DS1 and DS3 services; c. Revenues generated from rates charged under Term Discounts, separately for DS1 and DS3 services; d. Revenues generated from rates charged under Tariff Benefit Plans for DS1 and DS3 services: i. In total; and ii. If data is available, separately for DS1s and DS3s; e. Revenues generated from rates charged under Tariff Discount Plans for DS1 and DS3 services: i. In total; and ii. If data is available, separately for DS1s and DS3s; f. Revenues generated from rates charged under Contract-Based Tariffs for DS1 and DS3 services: i. In total; and ii. If data is available, separately for DS1s and DS3s; g. If the sum of the subcategories of Revenues reported above (in III.B.1.b – III.B.1.f)), plus Revenues generated by intrastate DS1 and DS3 services, do not add up to the total Revenues reported in III.B.1.a, explain why; h. Revenues generated from DS1 and/or DS3 rates charged under Tariff Discount Plans for Prior Purchase-Based Discounts: i. In total; 6 ii. If available, separately for DS1 and DS3 services; and iii. Of the total (and for the separate DS1 and DS3 totals if available), Revenues generated from sales made at a discount from the One Month Term Only Rate of: a. Less than 10%; b. Greater than or equal to 10%, but less than 20%; c. Greater than or equal to 20%, but less than 30%; d. Greater than or equal to 30%, but less than 40%; e. Greater than or equal to 40%, but less than 50%; and f. Greater than or equal to 50%. For purposes of calculating the percentages described above (in III.B.1(h)), an example would be a Tariff Discount Plan that requires a purchase of 20 DS1s and 10 DS3s and generates Revenues of $2,000 for calendar-year 2010. If those same circuits were purchased at One Month Term Only Rates of $100 per DS1 and $200 per DS3, then total Revenues would instead be $4,000. Since the Tariff Discount Plan under this scenario generated 50% of the Revenue that would be generated from One Month Term Only Rates, the discount would be greater than or equal to 50%. i. Revenues generated from rates charged under Tariff Discount Plans for DS1 and/or DS3 services based on discounts other than Prior Purchase-Based Discounts: i. In total; ii. If available, separately for DS1 and DS3 services; and iii. Of the total (and for the separate DS1 and DS3 totals if available), Revenues generated from sales made at a discount from the One Month Term Only Rate of: a. Less than 10%; b. Greater than or equal to 10%, but less than 20%; c. Greater than or equal to 20%, but less than 30%; d. Greater than or equal to 30%, but less than 40%; e. Greater than or equal to 40%, but less than 50%; and f. Greater than or equal to 50%. A general example of how to calculate these percentages can be found at Question III.B.1.h. j. Revenues generated from DS1 and/or DS3 rates charged under Contract-Based Tariffs for Prior Purchase-Based Discounts: i. In total; ii. If data is available, separately for DS1 and DS3 services; and iii.

Greater than or equal to 10%, but less than 20%; c. Greater than or equal to 20%, but less than 30%; d. Greater than or equal to 30%, but less than 40%; e. Greater than or equal to 40%, but less than 50%; and f. Greater than or equal to 50%. A general example of how to calculate these percentages can be found at Question III.B.1.h. k. Revenues generated from DS1 and/or DS3 rates charged under Contract-Based Tariffs for discounts other than Prior Purchase-Based Discounts: 7 i. In total; ii. If data is available, separately for DS1 and DS3 services; and iii. Of the total (and for the separate DS1 and DS3 totals if available), Revenues generated from sales made at a discount from the One Month Only Rate of: a. Less than 10%; b. Greater than or equal to 10%, but less than 20%; c. Greater than or equal to 20%, but less than 30%; d. Greater than or equal to 30%, but less than 40%; e. Greater than or equal to 40%, but less than 50%; and f. Greater than or equal to 50%. A general example of how to calculate these percentages can be found at Question III.B.1.h. l. Total Revenues generated from sales of PSDS: i. In total; and ii. For all PSDS, by the following bandwidth speed categories: a. No more than 51.84 Mbps of delivered bandwidth (inclusive of signaling); b. Greater than 51.84 Mbps and less than 1Gbps of delivered bandwidth (inclusive of signaling); and c. Greater than or equal to 1 Gbps of delivered bandwidth (inclusive of signaling). 2. Data from Price Cap Tariff Review Plan (TRP). For each study area in which you operate, report the data identified below from TRPs filed in support of rates that took effect on July 1, 2011. If the initial TRP filed in support of the July 1, 2011 rates was revised, report data from the most recently revised TRP filed in support of these rates. An optional template is available at http://www.fcc.gov/wcb/ppd/pn2template.xls for your response. Data elements and instructions for that template are identified in Table III.B.2 of Attachment B. a.

Circuits Purchased. State how many DS1 and/or DS3 circuits your firm has purchased from ILECs, if applicable, in accordance with the categories below. An optional template is available at http://www.fcc.gov/wcb/ppd/pn2template.xls for your response. Data elements and instructions for that template are identified in Table III.D.3 of Attachment D. a. Total interstate and intrastate; b. At One Month Term Only Rates; c. Under Term Discounts; d. Under Tariff Discount Plans; e. Under Tariff Benefit Plans; f. Under Contract-Based Tariffs; g. If the sum of the subcategories reported above (in III.D.3.b-III.D.3.f), plus intrastate DS1 and DS3 circuits, do not add up to the total DS1 and DS3 circuits reported in III.D.3.a, explain why; h. The number of DS1 and/or DS3 circuits purchased through Tariff Discount Plans at Prior Purchase-Based Discounts: i. In total; ii. The totals, separately for DS1s and DS3s; and iii. Of the total for DS1s and separately, of the total for DS3s, state the number of circuits that were purchased at a discount from the One Month Term Only Rate of: a. Less than 10%; b. Greater than or equal to 10%, but less than 20%; c. Greater than or equal to 20%, but less than 30%; d. Greater than or equal to 30%, but less than 40%; e. Greater than or equal to 40%, but less than 50%; and 15 f. Greater than or equal to 50%. For purposes of determining the number of circuits that were purchased within one of the above- listed discount categories, an example would be if a purchaser spent $2,000 on a Tariff Discount Plan that requires a purchase of 30 DS1s, based on the customer’s prior year’s buy, for calendar- year 2010. If those same circuits were purchased at One Month Term Only Rates of $133 per DS1, then total expenditures would be $3,990. Because the discount for those 30 circuits under the Tariff Discount Plan was less than 50%, but more than 40%, of what would have been spent under One Month Term Only Rates, then 30 circuits were purchased at a discount of greater than or equal to 40%, but less than 50%. h. The number of DS1 and/or DS3 circuits purchased through all Tariff Discount Plans other than Prior Purchase-Based Discounts: i. In total; ii. The totals, separately for DS1s and DS3s; and iii.

By LSA, provide the following information about each Contract-Based Tariff through which you buy DS1 and DS3 services: a. A description of the contingency (or contingencies) on which the Contract-Based Tariff’s discount, if any, is based (that is, requirements for a commitment of term, volume, revenue, combination, or other); b. A description of whether the customer’s DS1 and/or DS3 purchases in areas not subject to either Phase I or Phase II Pricing Flexibility count towards any discount contingencies in the Contract-Based Tariff, and if so identify which of the non-Phase I/Phase II Pricing Flexibility areas (e.g. MSAs or Non-MSAs) count and their associated Tariff and section numbers; c. A description of whether the customer’s DS1 and/or DS3 purchases in the Contract-Based 20 Tariff count towards any discount contingencies in other areas (e.g., other MSAs or Non- MSAs) that are subject to Tariff Discount Plans, and if so, identify the other areas and the associated Tariff and section numbers(s) of those Tariff Discount Plans; or d. A description of whether the customer’s DS1 and/or DS3 purchases in the Contract-Based Tariff count towards any discount contingencies in other areas (e.g., other MSAs or Non- MSAs) subject to Phase I or Phase II Pricing Flexibility, and if so, identify the other areas at issue and their associated Contract-Based Tariff and section numbers; or e. A description of whether the customer’s DS1 and/or DS3 purchases in the LSA do not apply toward other discounts in any other areas – whether in a Tariff Discount Plan or Contract- Based Tariff. 12. Terms and Conditions. If your company did Change Service Providers, or entered into discussions related to doing so, identify and describe the relevant Tariff and/or Contract-Based Tariff and section numbers discussing policies for Changing Service Providers. Include in your description whether the Tariff or Contract-Based Tariff discusses constraints on the number of circuits that can be changed on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, and whether the customer must continue to pay for circuits until they are changed, and at what rate. 13. Terms and Conditions. In each LSA in which you issued an RFP for DS1 and/or DS3 channel terminations to an end user within the past 5 years, but either received no responses or received responses that failed to meet your minimum selection criteria, describe the reasons your RFP failed, if known, and whether those reasons were associated with terms and conditions. E. All Members of the Public. We request that the public respond to the following questions: 1. Quality of Questions. We seek comment from the public on the quality, utility, and clarity of this data request. If there are important issues not covered in this or previous data requests in this proceeding, please describe those issues, and explain why they are important to this proceeding. 2. Suggestions for Additional Revenue Questions. We seek comment from the public on whether we should ask for additional Revenue information. For example, this Public Notice does not ask respondents to provide wholesale and retail Revenues; Revenues by location (other than the collocation questions); or Revenues over time. Though some may contend that asking for this kind of Revenue information would give us a better understanding of the supply of DS1, DS3, OCN, and PSDS services, we tentatively conclude that the benefits of doing so are outweighed by the burdens on the public in producing that information. We seek comment on this tentative conclusion. If a commenter disagrees with our tentative conclusion, describe the specific data that should be collected and why the incremental value of collecting such information justifies the burden of the collection. Example: A commenter recommends that we collect Revenues in calendar years 2000, 2005, 2009 and 2010; by service type; by carrier; by MSA or wire center; and by whether the Revenues are wholesale or retail. It further recommends that Revenues should be reported by unit (such as by circuit or rate element). In making this recommendation, the commenter explains why the incremental value of collecting such information justifies the burden of doing so. F. Procedural Issues Comments may be filed using: (1) the Commission’s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS); (2) the Federal Government’s eRulemaking Portal; or (3) by filing paper copies.21 All comments should 21 See Electronic Filing of Documents in Rulemaking Proceedings, GC Docket No. 97-113, Report and Order, 13 FCC Rcd 11322 (1998). 21 reference WC Docket No. 05-25 and RM-10593. The public should also send a copy of their comment (or cover letter, in the case of submissions of electronic media) to the Pricing Policy Division, Wireline Competition Bureau, Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20554, to the attention of Andrew Mulitz or e-mail him at Andrew.Mulitz@fcc.gov.
