                                                            Released:  August 11, 1995

       On August 3, 1995, Southwestern Bell Telephone Company (SWBT) filed three
Comparably Efficient Interconnection (CEI) Plans for new enhanced services:  Internet Access
Service; PC Backup and Recovery Service; and Facsimile Service.  SWBT states that these
enhanced services use only tariffed network services available to other enhanced service providers
at the same tariffed rates, and on the same terms and conditions.  SWBT requests expedited
approval of these plans.

       SWBT states that Internet Access Service will allow users to access all services available
on the Internet including access to information resources, transfer of files, communication via E-
mail and other services as they become available.  SWBT states that the Internet Access Service
will include these individual service offerings: (1) local access, using the Public Switched
Telephone Network or dedicated facilities; (2) access to end user enhanced services; (3) access
to Help Desk Services; (4) provision of Internet software; and (5) access to Interexchange Internet
Access Providers. 

       SWBT states that PC Backup and Recovery Service is a local telephone network-based
service that will automatically backup and provide secure off-premise storage for data residing
on the hard drive of a stand-alone PC or PC-based server for a local area network.  SWBT states
that Facsimile Service will provide customers with a wide range of facsimile capabilities that will
enable them to communicate via facsimile beyond the traditional send/receive only mode.  SWBT
states that four types of Facsimile Services will be offered:  Fax Broadcast, Fax Mailbox, Fax
Overflow, and Fax on Demand.
