- I received an E-mail which sheds more light on the situation. With the

- Subject: Longer time to protest Pac Bell ISDN application
- Copies to: Dan Kegel <dank@alumni.caltech.edu>
-
- I am an attorney in San Francisco and I do some legal work before the Public
- Utilities Commission. I noticed the information you had posted on the web
- about Pacific Bell application A.95-12-043 and your request that people send
- in protests to the PUC, and you stated that there was a deadline for these
- protests of 30 days after the filing date of December 5, 1995. I just
- noticed your call for protests today and I started to panic to get one in
- because today is the 30th day.
-
- But then I did a little research about this and I protests can actually be
- received by January 19 and perhaps later. Furthermore I talked to Rob
- Feraru of the Public Advisor's Office and he said that this type of protest
- isn't even needed for this application because there will be period of time
- for public participation in the hearing process and there is plenty of time
- for anyone to register their interest in that. He told me that he might
- post a message himself this evening in comp.dcom.isdn about this.
-
- My argument about the January 19'th date for protests instead of January 4th
- is that CPUC Rule 8.3 governs the time period for filing a protest:
-
- "Unless otherwise provided by rule or General Order, a protest shall be
- filed within 30 days after the latest of the following dates:
-
- (a) The date that copies of the application or petition, or notices thereof,
- were mailed to other persons, as evidenced by a certificate of service by
- mail;
-
- (b) The date that notice of the filing of the application or petition first
- appears in the Daily Calendar...."
-
-
-
- I subscribe to the Daily Calendar and I searched through the back issues to
- seen when this application appeared. It was not until the issue of December
- 20, therefore under (b) protests can be received until 30 days after that.
- There may be an even longer period under (a) because it is not clear when
- Pac Bell actually mailed the required notices to other utilities, etc.

- I can't use Internet providers that only give you 30 free hours per month.
- I'm on that much every day! But no, I'm NOT addicted. Really, I'm not...

- Its nice to see that many people feel strongly enough about this to spend
- some time with it! BTW, go ahead and fax despite the language above about
- it "not being necessary". Many of us will be unable to attend the hearings,
- and the faxes will have some weight with the CPUC.
-
- Have a great day!
