The data are necessary to evaluate the 

status of developing competition in 

local exchange telecommunications 

markets and to evaluate the status of 

broadband deployment. The 

information is used by Commission staff 

to advise the Commission about the 

efficacy of Commission rules and 

policies adopted to implement the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996. 

In the Report and Order, FCC 04–266, 

WC Docket No. 04–141, we adopted 

rules and a standardized form to 

improve our FCC Form 477, local 

telephone competition and broadband 

data-gathering program, including 

extending the program for five years 

beyond its currently designated sunset 

in March 2005, eliminating existing 

reporting thresholds, and gathering 

more granular data from service 

providers.
