CLECs represented at the workshop indicated that they had no desire to test the Dayton LATA with GTE during the CNCN MSA (Phase II) test window.
The test schedule for Phase IV will be determined on an "as required" basis. It is expected that most carriers will have tested with each other at least once by this point in the process. However, a schedule for any new entrant requiring testing will be generated as the need arises.
FORMS
A copy of the Number Portability Interconnection Information form was passed out to each participant. The PUCO has requested that they receive a copy of all forms sent between carriers. This will allow the PUCO to somewhat monitor the progress of testing by learning who is talking and who is not talking with one another.
