(Case 05-887-TP-UNC). AT&T asked the PUC to reconsider a decision allowing CLECs to continue paying discounted rates for embedded high- capacity UNE facilities through the end of the applicable FCC transition periods even if CLECs agreed to alternative arrangements at market-based prices before the transition period was up. FCC rules establish transition periods of up to 18 months for embedded high capacity digital loops, transport and dark fiber when cost-based unbundling is no longer required in a wire center due to adequate wholesale competition. AT&T also wanted reconsideration of a decision to limit application of FCC rules regarding fiber loop unbundling at individual customer premises to mass market customers only. AT&T said the PUC is reading something into the FCC orders that isn’t there. Meanwhile, the 2 CLECs wanted reconsideration of PUC decisions to allow AT&T unilateral authority to set interim rates for routine network modifications on a basis other than TELRIC without PUC review, and adopting AT&T language putting a 10-circuit cap on the number of DS-1 circuits connected at a premises entrance facility.
