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.
