Đ\  Yv4  Y_4 x The Commission acted today to lower the charges customers of U S WEST Communications,  xEInc. will pay for local number portability. As a result of today's actions and the Commission's  xprevious decisions lowering the number portability charges of other local telephone companies,  x8the amount consumers will pay for local number portability has been reduced by almost $900 million on a nationwide basis.  xuAs required by Congress, local number portability allows consumers to change local service  xqproviders without changing their telephone number in the process. In a 1998 order, the  xCommission permitted, but did not require, local telephone companies to recover some of their  xcosts of providing number portability through a monthly charge on consumers for five years.  xNU S WEST filed its local number portability tariff in January 1999, seeking to recover $528 million over the fiveyear period and proposing a consumer charge of $0.53 per month.  xhAfter determining that U S WEST's number portability rates raised issues of lawfulness, the  xCommission's Common Carrier Bureau instituted a fivemonth investigation. Today's Order  xterminates the investigation and lowers U S WEST's consumer charge from $0.53 per month to  x$0.43 per month and will allow recovery of $410 million over the fiveyear period. The  xECommission disallowed recovery of $118 million in costs claimed by U S WEST. The Order also accepts U S WEST's revised filed query service charges.  xyConsumer charges for number portability currently range from $0.23 per month (Bell Atlantic)  xto $0.48 per month (Sprint Local). In reaching its decision, the Commission recognized that  xqU S WEST's charge is at the upper end of this range. The Commission noted that local  xtelephone companies' charges may vary based on a number of factors, including network  xWconfiguration, equipment type, service territory, and number of access lines. After fully  xEinvestigating U S WEST's cost recovery claims, the Commission determined that U S WEST's  xVrevised consumer charge of $0.43 per month was justified by its particular network configuration, equipment type and service territory.  xCongress directed local telephone companies to offer telephone number portability in the  xTelecommunications Act of 1996. Congress recognized that one of the major barriers to  x}competition was the inability of customers to switch from one telephone company to another and  xVretain the same telephone number. Congress realized that customers would be reluctant to switch"#,$$z z !"  x &3~  &3~ to new telephone service providers if they were unable to keep their existing telephone numbers in the process.  xLike its previous actions, today's action by the Commission is aimed at ensuring that the rates  xAcharged by the local telephone companies are as affordable as possible, yet enable the local  x<telephone companies to recover the direct costs they incur in equipping their networks to provide  xnumber portability service. The Commission's decision represents another important step in its  xcontinuing effort to promote competition in the local telephone market as mandated by Congress.  xIncreased competition, indeed even the potential for competition, will ultimately produce higher quality services and lower prices for all telephone services.  xAction by the Commission, July 9, 1999, by Memorandum Opinion and Order in CC Docket No.  x9935 (FCC 99158); Chairman Kennard, Commissioners Ness, Tristani, and Powell; Commissioner FurchtgottRoth dissenting and issuing a statement.
