Connection of Customer-Provided Terminal Equipment to the Telephone Network

الملخص

This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposes to amend rules which regulate the terms and conditions under which customer- provided terminal equipment may be connected to the telephone network. The proceeding was initiated by petitions for rulemaking filed by Southwestern Bell Telephone Company (SWB) and Ameritech Operating Companies (Ameritech) who ask that regulations governing switched digital services be added. The effect of the proposed rules would be to promote rapid exploitation of switched digital technology. We propose also to provide for a registration revocation procedure which should greatly enhance our ability to enforce applicable rules as well as the Telecommunications Trade Act of 1988; and we take this opportunity to propose clarifications to other rules.
