Section 251 of the Act imposes on BellSouth, as an incumbent LEC, several obligations designed to promote competition in local telephone markets. The Bureau commenced an informal investigation into these matters on February 25, 2000. The Bureau's investigation disclosed that in April 1999, Covad made a request to BellSouth for cost data to support BellSouth's proposed rates for unbundled copper loops. In October 1999, BellSouth advised Covad that the proposed language did not limit Covad's ability to disclose any cost information to the Commission or a state commission.
