The Telco  x#Year 2000 Forum's report is based upon six months of testing for potential Year 2000 complications that might affect interoperability within voice and data networks.  "The Telco Year 2000 Forum is a consortium of the nation's largest local telephone  x9companies, including Ameritech, Bell Atlantic, BellSouth, Cincinnati Bell, GTE, SBC  xCommunications, and US West. Commissioner Michael Powell, Chair of the FCC's Task Force  xufor Year 2000 Conversion commended the hard work and dedication this organization has  xcommitted to promoting Year 2000 readiness in the telecommunications industry. "The Forum  xalso provides an excellent example of the way in which industries can work together to promote infomation sharing and reduce duplicative efforts," he said.  "The testing involved equipment and software common to the Telco Forum member  xcompanies, which together comprise 90% of the access lines in the United States. The  xcompanies tested the way the equipment would interact in various configurations, and how it  xmight be affected by the Year 2000. Only 6 anomalies related to Year 2000 were detected in  x1,914 testcases; these 6 were resolved, retested, and subsequently passed. Information regarding  xthese results can be found at the Telco Forum website at , or you can contact the Telco Forum at (617) 5878938.  "The FCC is working closely with the Telco Forum as well as other industry groups to  xpromote industry readiness for the Year 2000. Testing efforts are also underway by the Alliance  xfor Telecommunications Industry Solutions, and on an international level, by the International Telecommunication Union.  "NMore information relating to the efforts of the telecommunications industry to prepare for  x#the Year 2000, including links to individual companies, organizations, and the Network  x"Reliability and Interoperability Council, or NRIC, may be found on the Commission's Year 2000 website, at .
