ORDER

By the Chief, Formal Complaints and Investigations Branch, Enforcement Division, Common 
Carrier Bureau:
1. On July 1, 1992, Allnet Communication Services, Inc. ("Allnet") filed the above- 
captioned complaint against Southern New England Telephone Co. ("SNET"). In its complaint, 
Allnet alleged, inter alia, that SNET violated the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, as 
well as SNET's interstate tariffs and the Commission's equal access policies by refusing to 
provide Allnet with voice grade Feature Group D (FGD) connections to SNET end offices. On 
December 23, 1996, Allnet, now known as Frontier Communications Services, Inc. ("Frontier"), 
submitted a letter withdrawing its Complaint.
2. We are satisfied that the withdrawal will serve the public interest by eliminating 
the need for further litigation and the further expenditure of resources by the parties and the 
Commission.
3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED pursuant to Section 4(i) and 4(j) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 154(j), and the authority 
delegated by Section 0.291 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 0.291, that Frontier's 
Complaint is HEREBY WITHDRAWN.
