Ohio LNP Workshop Conference Calls
Meeting Minutes 3/26/98
Following are the meeting minutes of the Thursday March 26, 1998 Ohio LNP
Workshop conference calls for the Cincinnati and Cleveland MSA field
trials. The service providers represented on the calls included, CBT, AT&T,
MCI, Time Warner, Alltel, Nextlink and Sprint. Other attendees included the
PUCO staff.
1. CNCN MSA PORTING BETWEEN CBT AND MCI. CBT reported that the MCI number
of 513-719-1808 is now ported to CBT and operational for call through
tests. MCI reported that the CBT number of 513-989-2004 is now scheduled to
be ported to MCI on Friday March 27. Both of these service providers agreed
to leave these numbers ported until May 1st so that there is ample
opportunity for all area service providers to make test calls to these two
numbers. The committee recommends that all providers (wireless and
landline) take advantage of this test window to be sure that they can reach
these ported numbers.
2. CNCN MSA PORTING BETWEEN TIME WARNER, CBT AND SPRINT. All three service
providers ran into problems with these local service requests. As of
Thursday, CBT had not received an FOC from Time Warner for the number CBT
is porting from them and there was also some confusion concerning the Time
Warner SPID. Sprint also did not receive an FOC from Time Warner with in
the 24 hour period and contacted Time Warner who indicated the LSR was not
populated properly. This was worked out between the two companies and the
order is now expected to complete by the original due date of Monday March
30 for DN 513-701-0001. As for the LSR sent from Time Warner to Sprint,
Sprint received the Time Warner LSR on Monday, returned the FOC and sent
the disconnect order to the NPAC on the same day. Sprint later learned on
Thursday that Time Warner did not send their create order to the NPAC
within the 18 hour process window so the NPAC canceled the order. Sprint
and Time Warner are working on this and it is expected that the process
will need to start again.
3. CLEV MSA PORTING BETWEEN NEXTLINK AND AMERITECH. Nextlink reported that
the orders for the two Ameritech numbers 216-274-0207 and 0208 were issued
on Monday (3/23) and that the orders should be completed on March 30.
Ameritech opted not to port numbers from Nextlink.
4. CLEV MSA PORTING BETWEEN ICG AND AMERITECH. ICG reported last Friday
that they would not be ready to issue LSRs for the Ameritech number by
Monday 3/23. ICG was not on the conference call for a further update. (A
message received from ICG on Friday 3/27indicated that ICG is still
evaluating their position concerning this field trial. They are keeping
Ameritech and the Workshop co-chair apprised on the status of this
porting.)
5. Attached are the revised Ohio LNP Workshop spread sheets reflecting the
ported numbers, control numbers, switch LRNs, SPIDs, and contacts for
testing and LSRs. The next conference call will be Thursday April 2, 1998
at 10:00 AM eastern time for the CNCN MSA and 11:00 AM eastern time for the
CLEV MSA field trials. The conference bridge number is 419-755-7600. All
industry participants are encouraged to attend these short conference calls
to provide a status report on their testing efforts.
