## Abstract

This document addresses database issues, location portability, 500 and 900 number portability, and wireless issues, all of which were raised in petitions for reconsideration of the First Report and Order in this proceeding, and not addressed in the First Order on Reconsideration. We address these because their resolution will foster deployment of number portability and promote competition in the local telecommunications marketplace.
