In Cause No. 39983, on June 15, 1994, this Commission initiated an investigation into matters relating to local telephone exchange competition within the State of Indiana. This investigation was prompted by the acknowledgement of the growing need for a generic review of local exchange telephone competition issues and by legislative, consumer, and industry interests in such issues.
Subsequent orders have been issued in this cause addressing local telephone exchange competition even further.
In the December 19, 2001, order, the Commission outlines new streamlined regulatory and administrative procedures for voluntarily negotiated interconnection agreements, adoption of previously approved interconnection agreements, and amendments to voluntarily negotiated interconnection agreements. Agreements are now processed through a non-docketed process.
The latest procedures were effective as of February 1, 2002.
