REPLY OF SBC COMMUNICATIONS INC.

SBC Communications Inc. (SBC) files its Reply in the captioned matter.

I. EXISTING CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO STAY WITH THEIR PRESENTCARRIER IF THEY DO NOT MAKE A TIMELY PIC SELECTION.

SBC concurs with NYNEX that the Second Report and Order (Order)1 allows LECs to

continue serving their present customers if the customers do not select a carrier after a consumer

education and carrier selection program has taken place.2 As SBC stated in its Petition for

Reconsideration (PFR), if an existing customer who fails to make a timely PIC selection is forced

to dial an access code to place an intraLATA toll call, such will constitute a degradation of service.

Certainly, the Commission does not intend to force an existing customer, who prior to the

implementation ofdialing parity could place an intraLATA toll call without dialing an access code,

to now use an access code to place the same call, merely because the customer did not affirmatively

select an intraLATA toll provider. The fairest and least disruptive approach is to allow the existing

customer to remain with his current intraLATA toll carrier unless and until the customer has made

an affirmative selection that evidences a clear desire to change carriers. If an existing customer has

not requested to switch his intraLATA toll carrier selection, after receiving the deluge of marketing

materials that will most likely accompany the implementation ofintraLATA dialing parity, then it

would be quite reasonable to conclude that this customer is satisfied with his current intraLATA toll

provider or is not interested in changing carriers. Accordingly, absent an affirmative showing by

an existing customer ofa desire to change his intraLATA toll carrier, the Commission's rules should

allow the existing customer to remain with his current carrier.

II. THE COMMISSION SHOULD CLARIFY CROSS BOUNDARY DIALING PARITYISSUES.

SBC's PFR requested clarification that the applicable cross boundary procedures will be

those of the state in which dialtone is provided. SBC believes that BellSouth's recommendation,

that LECs should not be required to implement dialing parity for customers in LATAs which cross

state boundaries until both states implement intraLATA presubscription, is also a viable alternative.3

3 BellSouth, p. 6.

III. SBC SEEKS CLARIFICATION OF DIALING PARITY PROCEDURES.

BellSouth4 has discovered an apparent error in the Order, which, at page 29, states:

ALEC, other than a BOC, that begins to provide in-region,interLATA or in-region, interstate toll services in a state beforeAugust 8, 1997, must implement intraLATA and interLATA tolldialing parity based on LATA boundaries by August 8, 1997[emphasis added].

Proposed rule 51.213(c)(2), however, mandates a dialing parity implementation plan filing

requirement "for LECs that begin providing in-region, interLATA or in-region, interstate toll service

before August 8, 1997, no later than 90 days after these rules are published in the Federal Register."

Apparently, the words "other than a BOC" have been inadvertently omitted from proposed rule

51.213(c)(2). This phrase should be returned to the rule to affect the Commission's intent.

IV. CONCLUSION

The Commission's overriding objective in this proceeding should be to implement as quickly

and as painlessly as possible the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Taking the steps outlined above

will further that goal.

Respectfully Submitted,
