Summary: On March 29, 1999, MCI WorldCom ("MWCOM") initiated an ex parte meeting at CPUC with Commissioner Neeper. MWCOM expressed concern over Pacific Bell's ("PacBell") proposed OSS plan. It was stated deployment and comprehensive testing of a Bell Operating Company's OSS is essential to the FCC's consideration of that firm's compliance with 271. MWCOM asserted there are a number of omissions and deficiencies in PacBell's proposed OSS test plan, many of which impact customers. These include lack of independent third party involvement and failure to test several aspects of the system. Comprehensive testing is required in California, NWCOM asserted, if 271 compliance is to be realized. OSS issues are being resolved effectively in New York, Mr. Lopardo stated, and that was one reason MWCOM entered the local residential market there. New York's approach enhances problem discovery and resolution, hence system integrity is the result, he explained. MWCOM urged that PacBell's proposed test plan be rejected in favor of a plan with an independent third party and contemporaneous carrier to carrier testing, and further that a workshop. Filer: MCI WorldCom, Inc. Contact: Leslie Watkins Phone: (415) 228-1245 Summary: On March 29, 1999, MCI WorldCom ("MWCOM") initiated an ex parte meeting at CPUC with Tim Sullivan, advisor to Commissioner Duque. MWCOM representatives involved were Richard Severy, Robert Lopardo, and Evelyn Lee. MWCOM expressed concern over Pacific Bell's ("PacBell") proposed OSS plan. OSS issues are being resolved effectively in New York, Mr. Lopardo stated, and that was one reason MWCOM entered the local residential market there. New York's approach enhances problem discovery and resolution, and hence system integrity, he explained. In contrast, omissions and deficiencies with PacBell's proposed OSS test plan were cited These include lack of independent third party involvement and failure to test several aspects of the system. Details were cited as examples. MWCOM urged that a workshop be convened as contemplated by D98-12-069 to craft an acceptable OSS test plan. A thirteen (13) page packet was provided Mr. Sullivan to highlight these points. One of the highlighted pages was entitled "Pacific's Test Plan Fails to Meet the Commissions' Criteria." Another was "Functional OSS is a Precondition of Sec. 271 Approval." Filer: MCI WorldCom, Inc.
