ORDER OF DISMISSAL
Adopted: December 5, 2006 Released: December 6, 2006
By the Chief, Market Disputes Resolution Division, Enforcement Bureau:
1. On November 13, 2006, complainant Gregory J. Wolfe d/b/a Western
Payphone Systems ("Western Payphone") filed a motion to dismiss, with
prejudice, its complaint against World Communication Group Services,
Ltd. ("World Communication Group"). The Complaint alleges that World
Communication Group violated sections 201(b) and 276(b)(1)(A) of the
Act, as well as the Commission's rules, by failing to pay dial-around
compensation owed to Western Payphone. According to the Motion, the
parties have "reached a mutually acceptable resolution of [their]
dispute." World Communication Group does not oppose the Motion.
2. We are satisfied that dismissing the Complaint with prejudice and
permanently terminating this proceeding will serve the public interest
by promoting the private resolution of disputes and by eliminating the
need for further litigation and the expenditure of further time and
resources of the parties and this Commission.
3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to sections 1, 4(i), 4(j), and
208 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. SS 151,
154(i), 154(j), and 208, and the
authority delegated in sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.720-1.736 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. SS 0.111, 0.311, and 1.720-1.736, that the
Motion is GRANTED, and that the Complaint is DISMISSED with prejudice.
