BellSouth Rejects AT&T Proposal

BellSouth quickly rejected AT&T's UNE-p proposal, describing it as "a desperate attempt to perpetuate the regulatory scheme that was vacated by the D.C. Circuit Court on March 2, 2004."



BellSouth also announced the signing of long-term commercial agreements with three carriers including Dialogica Communications Inc., International Telnet and CI2 for the provisioning of wholesale local phone services throughout the nine-state BellSouth region. BellSouth further noted that since the FCC's call for the negotiation of commercial agreements, it has executed nondisclosure agreements with over 60 telecommunications carriers. These non-disclosure agreements set the framework for ongoing, private negotiations of commercial terms. http://www.bellsouth.com
