The cost data these carriers filed in support of their transmittals were inadequate. Rather than provide the Commission and interested parties with sufficient data to evaluate the components and reasonableness of their charges, the carriers provided conclusory rates and brief narratives describing their methodologies. They did not provide sufficient information demonstrating the calculations they made to derive those rates.
