Pacific wishes to add  xx<seven new service elements to its SONET tariff offering to permit  x<switched transport rates which differ from those for switched transport in a nonSONET Ring and Access Service environment.  ` P<x` ` Pacific states that SONET Ring and Access Service is a  xh<digital fiber optic hierarchy which transports Special and Switched  x<Access services. The service provides increased capability for  x<remote supervision and performance monitoring with data  x<communications channels, improved sectionalization, and element  x<manager surveillance. Pacific also states that the service  x<features faster facility configuration with point and click  x<operation from remote locations and that the service uses self x0<healing bidirectional ring architectures and the add/drop  x<capabilities inherent in ring services to improve overall  xh<survivability and reliability over current point to point services.   P<xPacific states that SONET Ring and Access Service also  xx<provides an increase in bandwidth which allows aggregation of end  x<user customer or carrier traffic to speeds up to 2.4 Gbps and  x<provides significant savings per unit of traffic delivered through  xh<the network. Pacific claims that its customers will gain economies  x<from SONET Ring and Access Service based on network designs that  x<are more cost effective. Pacific notes that it already offers"h)0*0*0*1"  x <similar Special Access services under Tariff F.C.C. No. 128,"h)0*0*0*1" Section 7.2.11."h)0*0*0*1"Ԍ"h)0*0*0*1"Ԍ l "h)0*0*0*1"Ԍ   < l xInterested parties may file comments on Pacific's petition for  x<waiver no later than July 21, 1995. Replies may be filed no later than July 28, 1995.    <xAn original and four copies of all comments and replies must  x<be filed in accordance with Section 1.51(c) of the Commission's  xh<Rules, 47 C.F.R.  1.51(c).
