**COMMENTS SOUGHT ON AT&T PETITION FOR WAIVER**

**OF SECTION 61.42(g) OF THE COMMISSION'S RULES**

**WCB/Pricing File No. 07-08**

**COMMENTS DUE:** **April 6, 2007**\
**REPLY COMMENTS DUE: April 16, 2007**

By this Public Notice, we seek comment on a petition filed March 12,
2007 by AT&T Services Inc., on behalf of the Pacific Bell Telephone
Company, Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, The Ameritech Operating
Companies, The Southern New England Telephone Company, and Nevada Bell
Telephone Company (collectively "AT&T"). AT&T requests a limited waiver
of section 61.42(g) of the Commission's rules so that it may exclude
True IP to PSTN ("TIPToP") service from any price cap basket in the
upcoming 2007 annual access tariff filing.[^1] TIPToP is a service that
provides Internet Protocol Voice Information Service (IP-VIS) providers
with connectivity between the IP-VIS provider's network and the AT&T
network.[^2] In support of its petition, AT&T states that TIPToP is an
innovative service that does not fit squarely within either the traffic
sensitive or trunking price cap basket and that such service is not
purchased by any unaffiliated customers.[^3] AT&T requests expedited
treatment of its petition.[^4]
