Implementation of the Local Competition Provisions in the Telecommunications Act of 1996

Resumo

The Commission is issuing this Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Further NPRM) seeking comment on whether requesting carriers may use unbundled shared transport facilities in conjunction with unbundled switching, to originate or terminate interexchange traffic to customers to whom the requesting carrier does not provide local exchange service. We also seek comment on whether similar use restrictions may apply to the use of unbundled dedicated transport facilities. The Commission's goal is to increase competition in the local exchange and exchange access market.
