Summary: On August 11, 1999, Lynn Mowery, Pacific Bell (Pacific) Director-Regulatory, met with Cmmr. Hyatt in San Francisco. Also present were: Bob Lane, interim advisor to Cmmr. Hyatt; and Jim Young, General Attorney and Assistant General Counsel, Pacific Telesis Group. Young stated that the Yellow Page revenues could not be imputed to reduce the unbundled network element (UNE) loop prices and that the Proposed Decision appropriately rejects this proposal. Young further stated that such an imputation is inconsistent with and distorts the intent of the Telecommunications Act, and the Public Utilities Code on imputation. Young pointed out that other carriers could qualify for Universal Service funding by meeting carrier of last resort obligations. Young stated that Pacific would be supportive of a proceeding on geographic de-averaging, but encouraged the Commission to address all relevant issues, including wholesale, retail and Universal Service.
