   Adopted:  March 31, 1998                 Released:  April 1, 1998

By the Chief, Formal Complaints and Investigations Branch, Enforcement Division, Common
Carrier Bureau:

1.    On June 5, 1997, Operator Communications, Inc., d/b/a ONCOR Communications, 
("ONCOR"), filed the above-captioned complaint against BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc.,
BellSouth Public Communications, Inc., and TelTrust Communications Services, alleging
violation of a Commission order and Sections 201(b), 202(a), and 276 of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended.  ONCOR claimed that the two BellSouth defendants, in concert with
TelTrust, interfered with enforceable agreements between ONCOR and payphone location
providers by switching the presubscribed interexchange carrier from ONCOR to Teltrust without
authorization.

2.    On March 26, 1998 and March 31, 1998, counsel for ONCOR represented that the
parties had concluded a settlement and would file a motion to dismiss as soon as all parties had
signed the original of the settlement agreement and the motion to dismiss.  Based on these verbal
representations, we conclude that the parties have entered into a settlement of the matter giving
rise to the complaints, thereby obviating the need for the Commission to resolve the dispute.

3.    We are satisfied that dismissing these complaints will serve the public interest by
eliminating the need for further litigation and the expenditure of further time and resources by
the parties and by the Commission.

4.    Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 4(i), 4(j), and 208 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), 154(j), 208, and the authority
delegated under Sections 0.91 and 0.291 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.91, 0.291,
that the above-captioned complaints are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE and that these
proceedings are TERMINATED.
