17The criteria for switch classification are met if

equipment performs some, but not necessarily all,

of the following basic switching functions: (1)

Attending—monitors for off-hook signals; (2)

Control—determines call destination and assigns

call to available line or trunk; (3) Busy testing—

determines whether the called line/trunk is busy;

(4) Information receiving—receives control and

busy test results; (5) Information transmitting—

transmits control and busy test results to tell the

alerting and interconnection functions whether to

complete the call; (6) Interconnection—connects

subscriber line to subscriber line or subscriber line

to trunk; (7) Alerting—rings the called subscriber’s

line or other signalling means if the call is destined

for another exchange; (8) Supervising—monitors for

call termination so the line can be released. See

Responsible Accounting Officer Letter 21, 7 FCC

Rcd 6075 (1992).

their regulated and nonregulated video

dialtone service as follows:

LECs are required, pursuant to the

VDT Recon Order, to amend their CAMs

prior to providing nonregulated

products or services related to video

dialtone.15 We require carriers that

receive Section 214 authorizations to

provide video dialtone service to

implement these requirements by

revising Section II (Nonregulated

Activities) of their CAMs to include a

detailed description of proposed

nonregulated video dialtone services

that they seek to provide.

CAM revisions must include a

statement indicating whether

nonregulated video dialtone service is

provided through a stand-alone video

dialtone system, or a system shared with

telephony. Carriers must also establish a

new subsection in Section II of their

CAMs that identifies all costs incurred

in the planning and development of

nonregulated activities provided in

conjunction with video dialtone service.

LECs that currently include enhanced

services planning in their CAMs as a

nonregulated activity associated with

their provision of telephone service,

shall be required to amend their CAMs

to specifically identify any planning

associated with the provision of

nonregulated video dialtone service. In

addition, LECs shall amend their

existing ‘‘Nonregulated Services

Matrix’’—which shows nonregulated

products/services and the USOA

accounts associated with these

nonregulated products/services—to list

each individual USOA account affected

by the provision of any nonregulated

video dialtone activity.

LECs must also amend Section VI

(Cost Apportionment Tables) of their

CAMs, so that existing cost allocation

tables include apportionment

procedures for investment and expense

used in the provision of regulated and

nonregulated video dialtone service. We

require LECs to justify and/or amend, if

necessary, their existing cost

apportionment methodology and

allocators for their provision of video

dialtone service. LECs that choose not to

modify their cost apportionment

methodology or allocators for video

dialtone, must also explain why their

existing methodology or allocation

factors are still valid for their regulated,

nonregulated and common cost pools.

In addition, because the allocation for

nonregulated usage of common network

plant is determined by a three-year

forecast of investment usage, LECs shall

revise their forecast usage allocator to

reflect accurately the provision of any

nonregulated video dialtone service

offered on common network plant.

Moreover, carriers that currently do not

provide nonregulated services that use

common network plant, but ‘‘reasonably

anticipate’’ offering such services during

the plant’s three-year forecast usage

period, shall include revised

apportionment procedures for the

nonregulated usage of network plant in

the Section VI, Cost Apportionment

Tables.16

Finally, we require LECs to amend

their CAMs to identify any affiliate

transactions related to their provision of

video dialtone service. LECs must

amend Section V (Affiliate

Transactions) of their CAMs by listing

all transactions with affiliates that

involve video dialtone service. This

listing must contain a brief description

of the nature, terms and frequency of

each transaction. LECs that currently list

transactions involving affiliates

providing video related services in

existing CAMs, must amend such CAMs

to indicate which, if any, specific

transactions relate to the provision of

video dialtone service.

As required by the VDT Recon Order,

LECs shall file CAM revisions within

thirty days after the effective date of

their Section 214 authorization and at

least sixty days prior to providing

nonregulated products or services

related to video dialtone.

VI. Accounting Consistency/Uniformity

Issues

In reviewing various LEC Section 214

applications for video dialtone service,

we have found certain inconsistencies

in the accounting classification of

asynchronous transfer mode (‘‘ATM’’)

equipment. LECs have described ATM

equipment as providing the basic

connection between the various video

servers and various destinations. Some

LECs have provisionally classified ATM

equipment in Account 2212, Digital

electronic switching; other LECs have

classified the same type of equipment in

Account 2232, Circuit equipment. Based

on our analysis of video dialtone ATM

equipment and LEC descriptions of the

functional purpose of such equipment,

we find that, although certain carriers

have classified ATM equipment as

switches, the equipment does not

perform the functions performed by

traditional network switches.17 We find

based on the data before us, that ATM

video dialtone equipment does not, at

this stage of LEC video dialtone

deployment, meet established criteria

for classification as a switch. Therefore,

carriers shall classify ATM equipment

as circuit equipment and record it in

Account 2232, Circuit equipment. Our

decision regarding the accounting

classification for video dialtone ATM

equipment does not in any way

preclude LECs from demonstrating at a

future date any functional change that

should alter this classification.

Finally, we intend to amend RAO

Letter No. 6 shortly to incorporate video

dialtone plant investment within our

existing itemized list of

telecommunications plant in service.18
