 FEDERAL  COMMUNICATIONS  COMMISSION  RESCHEDULES  FEBRUARY  13  th  AGENDA  MEETING 


 UNE  Review  Item  to  be  Considered  at  February  20,  2003  Meeting 
 Washington,  D.  C.  –  The  Federal  Communications  Commission  (FCC)  today  announced  the  postponement  of  the  February  13  th  Agenda  Meeting.  The  items  previously 
 scheduled  for  the  February  13  th  meeting,  including  the  Commission’s  Review  of  Unbundled  Network  Elements  (UNE)  item,  will  be  considered  at  the  February  20  Agenda 
 Meeting,  which  will  take  place  in  the  Commission  Meeting  Room  at  9:  30am. 
 The  UNE  Review  item  is  a  Report  and  Order  concerning  incumbent  local  exchange  carriers’  obligations  to  make  elements  of  their  networks  available  to  new 
 entrants  on  an  unbundled  basis.  Last  May,  the  D.  C.  Circuit  Court  of  Appeals  vacated  the  FCC’s  current  unbundling  rules  and  has  stayed  their  decision  until  February  20,  2003. 


 With  this  announcement,  the  FCC’s  “sunshine”  restrictions  are  lifted.
