Deployment of Wireline Services Offering Advanced Telecommunications Capability

This document adopts several measures designed to promote competition in the advanced services markets. The intended effect is to remove barriers to competition so that competing providers are able to compete effectively with incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) and their affiliates in the provision of advanced services. An additional effect of the First Report and Order is to ensure that incumbent LECs are able to make their decisions to invest in, and deploy, advanced telecommunications services based on market demand and their own strategic business plans, rather than on regulatory requirements.
