*MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #02273
BY: General Government Committee, William R. Patterson, Chairperson
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT FOR FULL TELECOMMUNICATIONS
COMPETITION IN MICHIGAN
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the 1984 break-up of the Bell system created "Baby Bells" - Incumbent Local Exchange
Companies (ILEC) to handle local service throughout the United States; and
WHEREAS currently, AT&T, Sprint, MCI, independent local exchange carriers, competitive local
exchange carriers (CLECs) and other licensed telecommunications companies are allowed to provide any
telecommunication service; and
WHEREAS "Baby Bells" -- like SBC Ameritech are not allowed to provide long distance service until they
have received permission from the FCC on a state-by-state basis; and
WHEREAS for an ILEC to gain permission, the local network in each state must be open to provide non-
discriminatory access to competitors. Once the ILEC has demonstrated that the local network is open, the
state public service commission makes a recommendation to the FCC. The FCC makes the final decision
whether to grant the ILEC permission to offer long distance service within its own territory; and
WHEREAS in the State of Michigan, SBC Ameritech Michigan is working with the Michigan Public Service
Commission (MPSC) to bring full competition to the state; and
WHEREAS SBC Ameritech Michigan has demonstrated that the local market is open to local competition
and that SBC Ameritech provides non-discriminatory access for competitors to its networks, citing that:
● According to the MPSC's 2000 Competitive Market Conditions Report, competition tripled
in less than two years.
● Competitors serve about 1.7 million, or 28 percent, of the business and residential access
lines in SBC's local service area in Michigan.
● More than 50 telecommunications companies, big and small, compete in Michigan for
local customers.
WHEREAS according to a study by TeleNomic Research, Michigan consumers stand to save $1 billion
annually, if SBC Ameritech is allowed to compete in the long distance market. These savings have
already occurred in more than a dozen states where ILECs have been permitted to offer long distance
service; and
WHEREAS, SBC Ameritech has invested over $9 billion to ensure high quality service to its customers in
Oakland County and throughout the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS by allowing all telecommunications firms to provide the services they choose (local, long
distance, DSL, data services and others), a level playing field will be created whereby customers can
choose a provider to fit their needs; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 21, 2002
515
WHEREAS both businesses and residential consumers will benefit by the increased savings from
rigorous competition in all areas of telecommunications.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
supports full telecommunications competition in Michigan and urges a positive recommendation by the
Michigan Public Service Commission and approval by the Federal Communications Commission that
would allow all telecommunications companies in Michigan to offer long distance service.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this adopted resolution be forwarded to SBC Ameritech, the
Michigan Public Service Commission, the Federal Communications Commission, the Michigan
Association of Counties and Oakland County's legislative lobbyists.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing
resolution.
