More than 11 months have passed since the Commission issued its First Report and Order in CC Docket No. In the intervening months, incumbent local exchange carriers, new local exchange carriers, interexchange carriers, commercial mobile service providers and other carriers have been intensely involved in implementing the procompetitive provisions of the 1996 Telecommunications Act through negotiations, arbitrations before state regulatory commissions, and participation in various other proceedings. The experience gained from this implementation process may well have provided incumbent and new local exchange carriers as well as other interested parties with new insights regarding the actions that this Commission should take in order to promote Congress' goal of efficient entry into local exchange markets as quickly as possible.
