E-mail From AT&T

Hi Lynn, Sorry for the delay in responding to you.... it's taken awhile to find someone to provide input to this issue. Since it seems there is no longer support for this change and there is an existing solution, I would support withdrawing this CR. Thanks for your patience. Kathy

Hi Kathy, The attached CR is currently in a deferred status. In January of 2006, AT&T stated that they were checking internally to determine if the testing with CustomNet Option 1 would satisfy the needs of this CR. (see below) Can you let me know if that testing is complete and if you want this CR to remain in a deferred status or if the testing met the needs of the request? If it has, we can place the CR in a Pending Withdrawal status for the October CMP Meeting. Thanks for your help in advance. Lynn Stecklein Qwest Wholesale CRPM

Lynn, I've finally found a person who is interested in this. We need to keep this open for now. We are checking on the testing. I'll try to get more status in a few days - after this specific person checks on the testing. Thanks. Sharon

Hi Sharon,

Have you heard anything on whether AT&T has completed their testing?

Hi Sharon,

We have been researching change requests that are currently in deferred status. The attached CR PC112403-1 (Request for blocking feature for 411 and 555-1212) is currently in deferred status. The project meeting minutes dated 2/18/04 states the following:

‘Carla Pardee, Qwest said that she is waiting for AT&T to conclude their testing with CustomNet Option 1 to see if this will satisfy the needs of this CR. She would like to move the Status to Deferred until AT&T completes testing.’

Can you let me know if AT&T has concluded the testing of the Customer Net Option 1? And, is so, does it meet your needs?

Thanks,

Lynn Stecklein

2/18/04 CMP Meeting Carla Pardee, Qwest said that she is waiting for AT&T to conclude their testing with CustomNet Option 1 to see if this will satisfy the needs of this CR. She would like to move the Status to Deferred until AT&T completes testing.

-- 1/21/04 January CMP Meeting Aaron Smith, Qwest stated a Clarification Call was held on January 8 and that Operator blocking had just been added to the CR at that time. On the call it was felt CustomNet option 1 might meet the requirements of the CR. Carla Pardee, AT&T said that AT&T had evaluated CustomNet before but wanted something simpler. AT&T is now re-evaluating. Bonnie Johnson, Eschelon stated Eschelon would submit a separate CR for a 411 block only. The CR will stay in Evaluation.

Meeting Agenda: 1.0Introduction of Attendees

Introduction of participants on the conference call was made and the purpose of the call discussed.

2.0Review Requested (Description of) Change

Doug Andreen, Qwest read the CR description: AT&T is requesting a single USOC, territory wide, that will block 411 and 555-1212. And added that recently AT&T had requested to add blocking operator (O) calls which is why we wanted to have a second clarification call with a wider audience than the first.

Carla Pardee, AT&T added that the intent is to block long distance call completion on customers that have delinquent bills.

Dave Fane added that this is a customer by customer block for customers not paying their bills.

Carolyn Vance, Qwest asked if the object was not to complete the call.

Dave answered yes with the same messages that are normally used.

There was much discussion around appropriate blocks to 411, 555-1212, O+ and 0- calls with the following outcome. CustomNet option 1 will block will block 411and 555-1212. 0+ calls are routed to an operator for alternate billing but cannot be billed to the owner TN. This was acceptable to AT&T. O- calls are completed to an operator but the operator’s screen indicates that calls cannot be charged to the owner TN and that the call may not be transferred to DA. However, calling card calls will not be blocked. This would have to be blocked separately in LIDB as done today.

AT&T agreed to test option 1 CustomNet to see if it would fully meet their needs and to let Doug know.

Kim Isaacs, Eschelon expressed a desire to have this CR appended to for a 411 block only.

Doug advised in order to not confuse the testing of CustomNet option 1 by AT&T and a block for 411 only that a new CR should be submitted.

Kim will submit the new CR.

- 12/17/03 December CMP Meeting Carla Pardee, AT&T presented this CR asking for a territory wide USOC that gives the ability to block a customers ability to reach a 411 or 5551212 DA operator. Carla realizes that Custom Net and Toll Block Restriction provides several features but not a single USOC as described above. Bonnie Johnson, Eschelon supports the CR saying Eschelon has customers who need to block the ability to reach DA operators without interfering with long distance capabilities. The CR was moved to Presented status.

DRAFT RESPONSE For Review by CLEC Community and Discussion at the January 2004 CMP Meeting

Carla Pardee LSAM Manager AT&T

SUBJECT: Qwest’s Change Request Response PC112403-1 Request for blocking feature for 411 and 555-1212

This letter is in response to AT&T’s Change Request (CR) PC112403-1. This CR requests that Qwest provide a single USOC territory wide to block access to DA operators using 411 and 555-1212. Recently, AT&T added to the original CR a request to also block access to Operator (O) calls using the same USOC.

Qwest is currently evaluating this request and proposes moving this Change Request into Evaluation Status while we continue to investigate. Qwest will provide an updated response at the February 2004 CMP meeting.

Sincerely,

Aaron Smith Manager Product Management
