Bonnie Johnson-Integra asked if this product is in the CLECs ICA or in the Minnesota SGAT.

Cindy Schwartze-Qwest said that we do have it in the PCAT for resale but we don’t resell CPE. She said that she will check in the ICA or SGAT and it will be removed from the tariffs.

2/18/09 Qwest Response: Cindy Schwartze-Qwest checked the MN SGAT and ICA for "Specialized Customer Premise Equipment" and there is no mention in either document. As stated in the call today, it is in the MN tariff: MN E&NS Non-Price Regulated Price List No.2, Sec 102.9 Special Needs Customer Premises Equipment.
