Prior to June 2005, the FCC collected data from carriers with at least 10,000 switched access lines, or mobile telephony subscribers, in service in a particular state. Small carriers, many of whom serve rural areas with relatively small populations, were therefore underrepresented in the earlier data. 3 With the inclusion of these carriers, the number of incumbent LEC and CLEC holding companies and unaffiliated carriers reporting local telephone service information as of December 31, 2005 tripled, and the number of reporting facilities-based mobile telephony providers doubled. 4 Based on the latest information now available, we summarize the following observations: • End-user customers obtained local telephone service by utilizing approximately 142.2 million incumbent LEC switched access lines, 29.8 million CLEC switched access lines, and 217.4 million mobile telephony service subscriptions at the end of June 2006. 5 See Tables 1 and 14. 1 Local Competition and Broadband Reporting, CC Docket No. 99-301, Report and Order, 15 FCC Rcd 7717 (2000); Local Telephone Competition and Broadband Reporting, WC Docket No. 04-141, Report and Order, 19 FCC Rcd 22340 (2004). During this data gathering program, qualifying providers file FCC Form 477 each year on March 1 (reporting data for the preceding December 31) and September 1 (reporting data for June 30 of the same year). An updated FCC Form 477, and instructions for that particular form, for each specific round of the data collection may be downloaded from the FCC Forms website at www.fcc.gov/formpage.html. 2 Statistical summaries of the earlier Form 477 data collections appeared in previous releases of the Local Telephone Competition report, available at www.fcc.gov/wcb/iatd/comp.html. 3 As of December 31, 2005, filers with fewer than 10,000 switched access lines in a state (including entities that previously filed on a voluntary basis) reported about 4.5 million lines (about 2.0 million incumbent LEC lines and about 2.5 million CLEC lines). By contrast, the data filed for December 2004 included about 0.6 million lines filed on a voluntary basis (about 0.2 million incumbent LEC lines and about 0.4 million CLEC lines). Mobile telephony service providers with fewer than 10,000 subscribers in a state reported about 364,000 subscribers as of December 31, 2005. Such filers reported (on a voluntary basis) about 69,000 subscribers a year earlier. 4 The nationwide number of CLEC holding companies and unaffiliated entities reporting local telephone service information increased from 149 to 382, and the number of incumbent LEC entities increased from 190 to 807. See Tables 3 and 4. The number of entities reporting mobile telephony subscribers increased from 76 to 155. 5 For this report, end-user switched access lines reported for the incumbent LEC operations of certain entities (i.e., AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc.) have been increased to reflect merger with a CLEC – to the extent (continued….) 2 • CLECs reported 29.8 million (or 17.3%) of the approximately 172.0 million nationwide end-user switched access lines in service at the end of June 2006, compared to 31.4 million (or 17.9%) of the 175.2 million lines reported six months earlier. See Table 1. • About 42% of switched access lines in service to CLEC end users served residential customers at the end of June 2006, whereas about 65% of switched access lines in service to incumbent LEC end users served residential customers. See Table 2. • CLECs reported providing 36% of their end-user switched access lines over their own local loop facilities, 6 42% by using unbundled network elements (UNEs) they leased from other carriers, and 22% through resale arrangements with unaffiliated carriers. 7 See Table 3. • Incumbent LECs reported providing about 22% fewer UNE loops with switching (referred to as the UNE-Platform) to unaffiliated carriers at the end of June 2006 than they reported six months earlier (8.4 million compared to 10.8 million) and about 1% fewer UNE loops without switching (4.4 million compared to 4.5 million). See Table 4. • About 6.0 million end-user switched access lines were provided by CLECs over coaxial cable connections. These lines represent about 56% of the 10.7 million end-user switched access lines that CLECs reported providing over their own local loop facilities, about 20% of all end-user switched access lines that CLECs reported, about 48% of CLEC lines to residential end users, about 3% of total end-user switched access lines, and about 6% of total residential switched access lines. See Tables 2, 3, and 5. • Incumbent LECs were the presubscribed interstate long distance carrier for 51% of the switched access lines they provided to end users, while CLECs were the interstate long distance carrier for 76% of their switched access lines. See Table 6. (Continued from previous page) the CLEC operated in the incumbent LEC’s service territory – and lines reported for the CLEC operations of these entities have been decreased by the same amount. Such adjustments are necessary when the merged entity treats the former CLEC operations as a separate business unit, and files a separate Form 477 for that business unit. SBC Communications, Inc. (SBC) and AT&T Corp. merged to form AT&T Inc. in November 2005. Verizon Communications Inc. and MCI, Inc. merged in January 2006. 6 Form 477 filers report that end-user switched access lines are provided over their own local loop facilities when the filer (including affiliates) owns the local loop to the end user’s premises. Therefore, unbundled network elements (UNEs) or services for resale that a CLEC acquires from an incumbent LEC become own-facilities lines, for purposes of Form 477, if the two entities merge. As previously noted, such lines are treated as incumbent LEC lines in this report, rather than as CLEC lines. 7 CLEC “resale” lines should include lines that the CLEC provides by using special access lines or other facilities that it obtains from unaffiliated ILECs or CLECs as tariffed services or under commercial agreements. 3 • The Commission’s data collection program collates information about CLEC local telephone service lines (and the CLEC share of total local telephone service lines) in individual states. Relatively large numbers of CLEC lines are associated with the more populous states. 8 With respect to the calculated CLEC share of switched access lines in service, however, some less populous states, such as Nebraska, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Utah had larger CLEC shares than some more populous states, such as California, Florida, Ohio, and Texas. See Tables 7 - 10. 9 • Among the 50 states, there were fewer than 10 reporting CLECs only in Alaska and Hawaii. See Table 13. • Mobile telephony service providers reported 217.4 million subscribers at the end of June 2006, which is 25.4 million, or 13%, more than a year earlier. About 7% of these subscribers were billed by mobile telephony service resellers. 10 See Table 14. • At least one CLEC was serving customers in 82% of the nation’s Zip Codes at the end of June 2006. About 98% of United States households resided in those Zip Codes. Moreover, multiple carriers reported providing local telephone service in the major population centers of the country. See Table 15 - 17, and the map that follows Table 19. As other information from FCC Form 477 becomes available, it will be routinely posted on the Commission’s Internet site. We invite users of the information presented in this statistical summary to provide suggestions for improved data collection and analysis by: • Using the attached customer response form, • E-mailing comments to James.Eisner@fcc.gov, • Calling the Industry Analysis and Technology Division of the Wireline Competition Bureau at (202) 418-0940, or • Participating in any formal proceedings undertaken by the Commission to solicit comments for improvement of FCC Form 477. 8 The largest numbers of CLEC lines are reported for New York (3.0 million lines) and California (2.9 million lines), the third and first most populous states, respectively. 9 CLEC shares appearing in Table 8 are based on CLEC and ILEC lines in Tables 9 and 10. 10 The mobile “resale” percentage should not include any subscribers that the facilities-based provider serves on a pre-paid basis. For reporting purposes, a “facilities-based” mobile telephony service provider serves subscribers using spectrum licenses that it has obtained or manages.
