I believe that had Congress intended the section 222(c)(1)(B) exception to extend to equipment, it would have said so explicitly, creating an exception for both services and equipment necessary to, or used in, the provision of telecommunications services. Instead, as the Commission held in the CPNI Order, the exception set forth in section 222(c)(1)(B), by its terms, is limited to services. CPE is by definition equipment, not a service.Footnote Ref#Footnote Ref#X0ÍX0Í  #A\  P?P#4 <DL!Footnote Tex#A\  P@P#Í#Footnote Tex# #A\  PAP#Footnote Tex#A\  PBP#Footnote Ref#Footnote Ref# CPNI Order, 13 FCC Rcd at 8116,  71 (stating that CPE is by definition customer premises equipment, and as such historically has been categorized and referred to as equipment). #Footnote Tex# #A\  PCP#Footnote Tex#A\  PDP# I am puzzled by the majoritys assertion that its previous interpretation construed the term services in isolation from the phrase necessary to, or used in.Footnote Ref#Footnote Ref#X0ÍX0Í  #A\  PEP#4 <DL!Footnote Tex#A\  PFP#Footnote Refۍ#Footnote Ref# CPNI Recon, __ FCC Rcd at __,  41.

Because petitioners have not presented any new arguments, facts, or evidence that persuades me that we incorrectly interpreted the text of this section, I continue to believe that the statutory language precludes the inclusion of equipment within section 222(c)(1)(B), even if the equipment is necessary to, or used in, the provision of . . . telecommunications service.Footnote Ref#Footnote Ref#X0ÍX0ÍO   #A\  PKP#4 <DL!Footnote Tex#A\  PLP#Í#Footnote Tex# #A\  PMP#Footnote Ref#Footnote Ref# See 47 U.S.C.  222(c)(1)(B).

CPNI Order, 13 FCC Rcd at 8124,  80. Footnote Tex#A\  PPP#O I am not persuaded by the majoritys reliance on the only example that Congress included in section 222(c)(1)(B), the publishing of directories, as justification for its reading of services to include products and services.Footnote Ref#Footnote Ref#X0ÍX0Í   #A\  PQP#4 <DL!Footnote Tex#A\  PRP#Footnote Refۍ#Footnote Ref# 47 U.S.C.  222(c)(1)(B).

The Commission previously expressly rejected the argument on which it now relies that the directory publishing example justifies a broader reading of section 222(c)(1)(B) in the CPNI Order. In that order, we stated that the publishing of directories is appropriately viewed as necessary to and used in the provision of complete and adequate telecommunications service.Footnote Ref#Footnote Ref#X0ÍX0Í   #A\  PSP#4 <DL!Footnote Tex#A\  PTP#Í#Footnote Tex# #A\  PUP#Footnote Tex#A\  PVP#Footnote Ref#Footnote Ref# I am not persuaded by SBCs argument that the Commission failed to articulate a reasoned basis for its conclusion that services formerly characterized as adjuncttobasic, in contrast to information services, are covered under section 222(c)(1)(B). See CPNI Order, 13 FCC Rcd at 8118,  73 (stating that [e]xamples of adjuncttobasic services include speed dialing, call forwarding, computerprovided directory assistance, call monitoring, caller ID, call tracing, call blocking, call return, repeat dialing, call tracking, and certain centrex features) (citation omitted); SBC Petition at 7. See also NTCA Petition at 67. In drawing this distinction, the CPNI Order relied in part on Commission precedent. The Commission noted that it previously determined that the computer processing functions of adjuncttobasic services are used in conjunction with voice service and help telephone companies provide or manage basic telephone services, as opposed to the information conveyed through enhanced services. CPNI Order, 13 FCC Rcd at 8118,  73 (emphasis in original) (citing North American Telecommunications Association Petition for Declaratory Ruling under Section 64.702 of the Commission's Rules Regarding the Integration of Centrex, Enhanced Services, and Customer Premises Equipment, ENF No. 842, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 101 FCC 2d 349, 358,  2324 (1985), recon., 3 FCC Rcd 4385 (1988)). Thus, the Commission interpreted the language of section 222(c)(1)(B) to reach these adjuncttobasic services, which are used in the carriers provision of its telecommunications service, to the exclusion of information services. I note that the Commission recently recognized adjuncttobasic services as being telecommunications services, and our treatment of these services in the CPNI Order is consistent with that determination.

We concluded in the CPNI Order that while information services, such as fax store and forward and Internet access services, constitute nontelecommunications services, most such services are not necessary to, or used in the carriers provision of telecommunications service. Rather, we reasoned that although telecommunications service is necessary to, or used in, the provision of any information services, information services generally are not necessary to, or used in, the provision of any telecommunications service.Footnote Ref#Footnote Ref#X0ÍX0Í  #A\  P_P#4 <DL!Footnote Tex#A\  P`P#Í#Footnote Tex# #A\  PaP#Footnote Tex#A\  PbP#Footnote Ref#Footnote Ref# 47 U.S.C.  222(c)(1)(B); CPNI Order, 13 FCC Rcd at 8116,  72.  While I acknowledge that information services can be an important component of the services that a customer receives from a telecommunications carrier, this fact alone does not change the conclusion that is compelled by the terms of the statute. Body Text #XN\  PeXP#!Body Text ! #XN\  PfXP#Body Text #XN\  PgXP#As the Commission has concluded previously, the meaning of the term necessary depends on the purposes of the statutory provision in which it is found.Footnote Ref#Footnote Ref#X0ÍX0Í2  #A\  PhP#4 <DL!Footnote Tex#A\  PiP#Í#Footnote Tex# #A\  PjP#Footnote Tex#A\  PkP#Footnote Ref#Footnote Ref# See, e.g., In the Matter of FederalState Joint Board on Universal Service, CC Docket No. 9645, Report and Order, 12 FCC Rcd 8776, 9100,  618 (1997) (finding that the phrase necessary for the provision of health care services . . . including instruction relating to such services of section 254(h) means reasonably related to the provision of health care services, because a broad reading of the phrase is consistent with the purpose of that section). See also Chapman v. Houston Welfare Rights Organization, 441 U.S. 600, 608 (1979) (stating that a statute should be interpreted in light of the purposes that Congress sought to serve by its enactment).2 The focus and placement of section 222 within the Act indicate Congresss intent that the Commission augment consumer privacy protections. Section 222 reflects Congresss view that with increased competition comes a risk that consumer privacy interests will not be protected by the marketplace. As a result, I continue to believe that control over the use of CPNI properly belongs in the hands of the customer. A narrow construction of the phrase necessary to, or used in best accomplishes the goals of the statute.Footnote Ref#Footnote Ref#X0ÍX0Í  #A\  PlP#4 <DL!Footnote Tex#A\  PmP#Í#Footnote Tex# #A\  PnP#Footnote Tex#A\  PoP#Footnote Ref#Footnote Ref# For similar reasons, I do not agree with SBC and GTE that the term necessary to in section 222(c)(1)(B) should not be interpreted restrictively because in other proceedings the Commission has used the term necessary not to mean indispensable but rather used or useful.

Accordingly, unlike the majority, I would decline to grant petitioners requests that, because of the integrated nature of certain information services with telecommunications service, we should distinguish among information services for purposes of section 222(c)(1)(B).Footnote Ref#Footnote Ref#X0ÍX0Í  #A\  PyP#4 <DL!Footnote Tex#A\  PzP#Í#Footnote Tex# #A\  P{P#Footnote Tex#A\  P|P#Footnote Ref#Footnote Ref# See Bell Atlantic Petition at 79; GTE Petition at 2126; NTCA Petition at 67; SBC Petition at 7; TDS Petition at 6.

As I note above, information services may well constitute an important component of the services a telecommunications carrier offers its customers. Nevertheless, these information services are not necessary to, or used in, the provision of the underlying telecommunications service.  X In construing the phrase services necessary to, or used in,Footnote Ref#Footnote Ref#X0ÍX0Í  #A\  PP#4 <DL!Footnote Tex#A\  PP#Footnote Refۍ#Footnote Ref# 47 U.S.C.  222(c)(1)(B). the Commission must be guided by the statutes focus on the protection of customer privacy and hence narrowly construe the statute in order to optimize consumer protections. A carrier need only obtain permission to use CPNI in order to market CPE or information services to its customers, a minimal burden when weighed against the purposes of section 222. I believe this approach best effectuates Congresss intent by balancing competitive interests with the consumers interests in privacy and control over CPNI.
