Summary: LATE FILED:.On July 6, 1999, Bill Blase, Vice President of Pacific Bell (PacBell), met with Cmmr. Wood in San Francisco. Also present were Norman Low, advisor to Cmmr. Wood; and Margaret Pascoe, Director Regulatory Numbering of PacBell. PacBell representatives explained their concern that if the 310 moratorium continues customers would be severely impacted because telephone numbers in some rate centers will not be available. The PacBell representatives discussed that the current numbering crisis in 310 prevents any opportunities for long term solutions such as number conservaton or number pooling; the technology needed to implement number pooling is complex and could take up to 24 months to implement; that 1+10 digit dialing which both the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ordered as a precursor to overlay relief is not a technological requirement, but an issue of competitive neutrality; current data suggests residents in 310 have adjusted well to 1+10 dialing. The representatives added that the petitioners had information as early as July 1998, that 1+10 digit dialing would take place in April and that if they had been concerned about the length of time for implementation they could petition the CPUC and the FCC for a temporary waiver. Filer: Pacific Bell Contact: Lila Tam Phone: (415) 542-3350 Summary: LATE FILED On July 6, 1999, Bill Blase, Vice President of Pacific Bell (PacBell) met with Cmmr. Hyatt in San Francisco. Also present were Bob Lane, advisor to Cmmr. Hyatt; and Margaret Pascoe, Director of Regulatory Numbering of PacBell. PacBell representatives explained their concern that if the 310 NPA moratorium continues, customers would be adversely affected; with no perceived benefits. The PacBell representatives discussed that the current numbering crisis in 310 will only be resolved with the overlay of a new area code; within the historical context of numbering no one could have foreseen the current convergence of 200 competitors and increased number assignment for faxed, PSC and paging uses; rate center consolidation as a relief mechanism and that the issue can not be resolved in the period of time that the moratorium would be in place. Pascoe explained the 1+10 digit dialing, which both the Commission and the Federal Communications Commission ordered as a precursor to overlay relief, is not a technological requirement, but an issue of competitive neutrality. She also referred to the petitioners representing alarm companies and said that they had been notified as early as July 1998 of the pending 1+10 digit dialing change.
