Order Rejecting Tariffs
On August 16, 1999, KLM Telephone Company (KLM) filed revised tariff sheets to revise its intrastate access rates. The tariff filing proposed a mechanism to achieve revenue neutrality. Southwestern Bell Telephone (SWBT) states that the proposed mechanism conflicts with both the Commission's Report and Order in TO-99-254 et al. and with the revenue neutrality calculations KLM filed in that case.
On September 2, KLM filed a response to SWBT's comments. KLM continues to labor under the misconception that the Commission's Report and Order in KLM's intraLATA dialing parity plan case (Case No. TO-99-511) permitted a different kind of revenue neutrality mechanism than that authorized in the Report and Order in Case No. TO-99-254. The Commission has attempted to address KLM's misunderstanding in several orders concerning clarification and rehearing. It will suffice here to simply state that the revenue neutrality mechanism that KLM proposes does not comport with the Reports and Orders in either Case No. TO-99-254 or Case No. TO-99-511. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED: 1. That the tariff filed by KLM Telephone Company on August 16, 1999, is rejected. 2. That this order shall become effective on September 16, 1999.

In a related case, Case No. TO-96-147, the Commission approved an agreement of the parties that called for Alltel to file a set of consolidated access tariffs no later than 18 months after the effective date of the Commission’s order approving the merger in TM-95-87, i.e. June 30, 1997. The tariffs at issue here were filed in compliance with that order.

Report and Order
1997
Report and Order
Southwestern Bell Telephone Company (SWBT) and AT&T Communications of the Southwest, Inc. (AT&T) have been negotiating since March 14, 1996, to develop the terms for AT&T’s interconnection with SWBT’s facilities. The parties’ initial round of negotiations culminated in AT&T’s first petition for arbitration, filed with the Commission on July 29, 1996, in Case No. TO-97-40.
The Commission issued its Arbitration Order in Case No. TO-97-40 on December 11, 1996, in which it resolved the issues presented by the parties and established interim rates for the resale of SWBT's services and for the sale of SWBT's unbundled network elements (UNEs) to AT&T. This order was modified on January 22, 1997. The Commission's July 31 Final Arbitration Order set permanent rates. This order was modified in several respects on October 2, when the Commission ordered SWBT and AT&T (the parties) to file an interconnection agreement incorporating the findings made by the Commission. The parties filed an agreement and, on November 5, the Commission issued an order approving the proposed interconnection agreement.
Report and Order

The tariff revision bears an effective date of July 7, which was originally extended by SWBT to July 21, and then was subsequently extended again to July 24. The Mid-Missouri Group of Local Exchange Companies (Mid-MO Group) and the Small Telephone Company Group (STCG) filed applications to intervene on June 27 and July 1 respectively, and requested suspension of the proposed tariff revisions.
Order Approving Stipulation and Designation of eligible Telecommunications Carrier
Report and Order eliminating Community Optional service
Report and Order
Three aspects of intraLATA service as it exists in Missouri are particularly relevant to this determination: the PTC (Primary Toll Carrier) Plan, COS (Community Optional Service) service, and 911 emergency service. All the witnesses testified that maintenance of the PTC Plan is inconsistent with the implementation of intraLATA dialing parity. The PTC Plan requires SCs (secondary carriers) such as the petitioners to route all intraLATA toll traffic to the PTC (primary toll carrier). When intraLATA dialing parity is implemented, the fact that some customers are presubscribed to an interexchange carrier other than the PTC would mean that the SC would be required by state and federal law to violate the Plan's requirement that all toll traffic be routed to the PTC.
Missouri LECs are required by the Commission to provide COS service to qualifying exchanges. COS service, where a subscriber in a petitioning exchange pays a flat rate for toll-free service to and from one or more target exchanges, is also dependent on the PTC Plan. In order to initiate a COS route, the companies involved must provide the Commission with calling study data to demonstrate that the volume of calls to the target exchange and the percentage of customers making those calls satisfy the COS criteria. Under the Primary Toll Carrier Plan, PTCs and SCs share the information necessary for properly tracking and billing COS subscriber calls, a process that would be complicated if dialing parity were implemented. All the parties recommended that implementation of dialing parity be delayed for the petitioners until the Commission resolves all COS issues and establishes an implementation schedule, or until April 1, 1998, whichever is sooner.
Order Conditionally Approving Interconnection Agreement and Rejecting Resale Appendix
The Agreement permits Brooks to provide service as a reseller or as a facilities-based, or partially facilities-based, provider. The Agreement includes several interconnection possibilities: Mid-span Fiber, physical or virtual collocation, SONET-based interconnection, or leased facilities.
SWBT agrees to make available to Brooks customers nondiscriminatory access to 911 and E911 (enhanced 911) service pursuant to Appendix 911 of the Agreement. SWBT also agrees to make available intraLATA toll dialing parity in accordance with Section 251(b)(3) of the Telecommunications Act. The Agreement provides for a $25.00 intercompany conversion charge when a customer switches from SWBT to Brooks, and for an informal dispute resolution process for issues that arise between the signatories.
