Payphone Line Rates; New Services Test

The Commission issued this document responding to a petition for correction submitted by Verizon, Inc. and a petition for reconsideration submitted by the Wisconsin Pay Telephone Association (WPTA). The Commission granted Verizon's petition to correct the order by clarifying that Verizon's affiliate, Verizon North, is not a Bell Operating Company (BOC) by definition of the Act. The Commission denied the WPTA's petition for reconsideration of the Commission's decision that the Wisconsin Public Utility Commission should properly determine BOC intrastate payphone line rates in the State of Wisconsin to determine compliance with the new services test established by the Commission.
