## Abstract

This document finds that federally mandated limits on the time period for which incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) and competitive LECs may reserve potential collocation space for future use are not warranted. It further concludes that disputes regarding the conversion of virtual collocation arrangements to physical collocation arrangements should be addressed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, it determines that, although point-of-termination bays (POT bays) constitute a technically feasible point of interconnection, an incumbent LEC may not compel collocators to interconnect through them.
