USWC does not oppose the Application per se, but wishes to raise the issue of flexible pricing for itself in light of the prospective enhanced competition. Since the Commission is considering the issue of pricing flexibility in a separate proceeding, and USWC has expressed its amenability to such treatment, we do not perceive the need for an evidentiary hearing.
