Issued order which concluded that most of the LECs have
failed to meet their Section 204(a) burden of demonstrating
that their overhead loading levels, and, consequently, their
virtual collocation rates, are just and reasonable; therefore
rates were found to be unlawful; prescribed in the order the
maximum permissible overhead loading levels for these
LECs' virtual collocation rates. (CC Docket No. 94-97,
Phase I, by R&O [FCC 95-200] adopted May 11 by the
Commission)
