Staff reports that the company has provided all the information required by Puc 1304.02.
Staff recommends granting the waiver.
As part of its application, DSL agreed to abide by Bell Atlantic's present and future rates for intraLATA switched access or to charge a lower rate. If, at any point, DSL seeks to exceed Bell Atlantic's access rates it shall first contact the Staff to review the proposal. The Commission will monitor access rates as the intraLATA toll and local exchange markets develop. We note that as new competitors enter the market, greater pressure is put on the 603 area code, so long as today's antiquated number assignment process remains in effect. Accordingly, we would urge DSL to request and use numbers responsibly and conservatively, and to join in exploring alternative mechanisms to use existing numbers as efficiently as possible and thereby avert the need for a new area code.
