BROADBAND NETWORK INITIATIVE
INCUMBENT TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER OVERVIEW
SEPTEMBER 20, 2002
AMERITECH
I.
OVERVIEW
When considering telecommunications opportunities in Illinois, it is
important to consider the operations and strategic objectives of its incumbent
provider. Ameritech is a leading telecommunications service provider in the
nation and in Illinois. Following is recent information concerning SBC and
Ameritech along with the company’s current service offerings.
II.
GENERAL
In October 1999, SBC and Ameritech completed their merger.
SBC/Ameritech is a communications services company headquartered in
San Antonio, TX, serving nearly 60 million access line equivalents and over
21.6 million wireless customers (Cingular/SBC).
In 1999, as the first post-Ameritech merger initiative, a $6 billion broadband
services initiative was announced (Project Pronto). Project Pronto is
expected to create a broadband platform that will allow high-speed voice,
data and video services to be provided via Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
services to approximately 80 percent of SBC’s United States (U.S.) wireline
customers. During the third quarter of 2001, due primarily to an adverse and
uncertain regulatory environment, SBC began a slowdown of the capital
expenditures to build its national broadband network, which includes fiber,
electronic and other technology. As of December 31, 2001 it had spent $3.2
billion on Project Pronto and had 1.3 million DSL subscribers with more
than half, or 25 million, of its wireline customers DSL-capable.
SBC/Ameritech has five reportable segments that reflect the current
management of its business: (1) wireline; (2) wireless; (3) directory;
(4) international; and (5) other.
The wireline segment, which accounts for approximately 75% of total
normalized
operating
revenues
in
2001,
provides

Confidential
Page 1.
9/20/02
telecommunications services, including local, network access and long
distance services, messaging and Internet services and sells customer
premise and private business exchange equipment.
Prior to the fourth quarter of 2000, the wireless segment, which accounted
for approximately 16% of total normalized operating revenues in 2001,
included consolidated businesses that provides wireless telecommunications
services and sells wireless equipment. Cingular offers both wireless voice
and data communications services across most of the U.S., providing cellular
and PCS services.
The directory segment, which accounted for approximately 8% of total
normalized operating revenues in 2001, includes all directory operations,
including Yellow and White Pages advertising and electronic publishing.
All investments with primarily international operations are included in the
international segment. The other segment includes all corporate operations
and Ameritech’s paging, cable television and SecurityLink operations.
SecurityLink was sold in January 2001, and Ameritech New Media, and
Ameritech’s cable television operations, were both sold in November 2001.
Ameritech provides a full array of broadband data and e-commerce solutions
to business customers, including Web hosting and other Internet services. In
the residential market, Ameritech offers DSL high-speed Internet access,
advanced voice features and other services.
Ameritech consists of more than 193,000 employees and had $45.9 Billion
in 2001 revenues. Ameritech’s presence extends across 13 states; Arkansas,
California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri,
Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wisconsin.
III.
LONG DISTANCE
Ameritech offers interLATA (Local Access and Transport Area) long
distance services in the states of Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Missouri and Connecticut. They intend to seek approval from the FCC to
offer interLATA long distance in their other in-region states. As a first step
in that process, they have filed applications with the state commissions in
California, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada and Ohio.

IV. INTERNET ACCESS
Ameritech offers a range of Internet services and products for residences and
businesses, varying by market. Internet services offered include basic dial-up
access service, dedicated access, web hosting, e-mail, and high-speed access
services. During 2000, they formed a relationship with Prodigy
Communications Corporation (Prodigy) that combined its residential and
small business Internet operations. In the fourth quarter of 2001, they
acquired Prodigy.
In November 2001, Ameritech announced an agreement with Yahoo! to
provide broadband access to customers in its 13-state area and co-branded
dial-up service nationwide. This agreement was enacted in order to help
customers access internet services virtually nationwide. The expectation is
that this offering of co-branded service with Yahoo! will begin during the
second half of 2002.
V. LOCAL EXCHANGE SERVICES
Local exchange services include traditional dial tone primarily used to make
or receive voice, fax, or analog modem calls from a residence or business.
Ameritech also offers this service on a wholesale basis to competitors. On
December 31, 2001, they were providing wholesale services to
approximately 3.6 million access lines. Other local services include certain
extended area service, directory assistance and operator services.
Vertical services include custom calling services such as Caller ID, Call
Waiting, voice mail and other enhanced services. These features allow
telephone users to manage their local services with enhanced features such
as displaying the number and/or name of callers, signaling to the telephone
user that additional calls are incoming, and sending and receiving voice
messages. These services are not regulated by the FCC and are generally
more profitable.
VI. DATA SERVICES
Confidential
Page 3.
9/20/02
Revenues from data services may be classified as local, network access or
long distance revenues and include high-speed data communication services
used for transporting digital traffic from one computer system to another.
Data services include digital products categorized into three basic categories:
• Switched Transport services such as Integrated Services Digital Network
(ISDN), Frame Relay, and DSL;
• Dedicated Transport services such as Digital Services and Synchronous
Optical Network (SONET); and
• Application and Data Communications services which include Internet
access and network integration.
ISDN transmits voice, video, and data over a single line in support of a wide
range of applications, including Internet access. Frame Relay is a fast packet
switching technology that allows data to travel in individual packets, or
pieces, of information. DSL is a digital modem technology that converts
existing twisted-pair telephone lines into access paths for multimedia and
high-speed data communications to the Internet or private networks. DSL
allows customers to simultaneously make a phone call and access
information via the Internet or an office local area network. Digital Services
are high-speed dedicated digital circuits offered with various speeds of
transport. SONET provides customer access to our backbone network at
very high speeds. Network integration services include installation of
business data systems, local area networking, and other data networking
solutions.
VII. NETWORK ACCESS SERVICES
Network access services connect a customer’s telephone or other equipment
to the transmission facilities of other carriers that provide long distance and
other communications services.
VIII. CUSTOMER PREMISE EQUIPMENT
CPE and other equipment sales range from single-line and cordless
telephones to sophisticated digital PBX systems. PBX is a private telephone
Confidential

9/20/02
switching system, usually located on a customer’s premises, which provides
intra-premise telephone services as well as access to the public switched
network.
VIII. AMERITECH’S BUSINESS TRENDS
Overview
Despite passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (Telecom Act), the
U.S. telecommunications industry, including DSL and other advanced
services, continues, in many respects, to operate as a heavily regulated
industry. The expected transition from an industry overseen by multiple
regulatory bodies to a market-driven industry monitored by state and federal
agencies has been slow. Ameritech’s wireline subsidiaries remain subject to
regulation by state regulatory commissions for intrastate services and by the
FCC for interstate services. This continuing difficult and uncertain
regulatory environment combined with the recent downturn in the U.S.
economy presents challenges for this business.
• Expected Growth Areas
Ameritech expects the wireline segment to remain the most significant
portion of its business and have also discussed trends affecting this
segment. Over the next few years they expect an increasing percentage of
their business to come from two areas within the wireline segment data/broadband and long distance - and their wireless segment.
o Data/Broadband In October 1999, they announced plans to
upgrade their network to make broadband services available to
approximately 80% of their U.S. wireline customers over the
four years through 2003 (Project Pronto). Due to the weakening
U.S. economy and uncertain regulatory environment, in
October 2001 they announced a scale-back in their broadband
deployment plans. At December 31, 2001, they had
approximately 1.3 million DSL subscribers, and more than half,
or 25 million, of the wireline customer locations were DSLcapable. Additionally, they have spent approximately $3.2
billion as of December 31, 2001, for fiber, electronics and other
technology for Project Pronto. The build-out will include
transferring certain portions of their existing copper network to
a new fiber network. Over the deployment period, marketing
costs will be incurred depending on the rate of customer signups and installations.

o Long Distance Ameritech offers landline interLATA long
distance services to customers in selected areas outside its
wireline subsidiaries’ operating areas. Further, they offer
interLATA long distance services to customers in Texas,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Connecticut. The
FCC approved its application to provide interLATA long
distance service for calls originating in Kansas and Oklahoma
effective March 7, 2001, and in Arkansas and Missouri on
November 16, 2001. They officially launched service under the
SBC Southwestern Bell brand in those states on the effective
approval dates or shortly thereafter, offering domestic
residential and business long distance services as well as
international calling plans. They continue to seek long distance
approval in their other in-region states and have filed
applications with state commissions in California, Illinois,
Michigan, Nevada and Ohio.
• In October 2001, the FCC completed its re-examination of certain
information contained in their previously approved Kansas and Oklahoma
long distance applications and found that they did not intentionally provide
false information. However, the FCC proposed that they pay
approximately $3 for alleged collateral violations related to those
applications. This FCC ruling is still pending and has no effect on their
ability to continue to offer long distance service in either state.
• Wireless In October 2000, Cingular began operations as the secondlargest wireless provider in the U.S. Cingular’s top priorities for 2002
include geographic expansion, including expansion into New York City
through an infrastructure-sharing agreement with VoiceStream Wireless
Corporation (VoiceStream), further rollout of wireless data services,
overlaying GSM voice and GPRS high-speed data technology over its
existing networks and integration of operations to strengthen its
competitive position and realize cost synergies. The fastest growing area
of the wireless business is data. Although data revenues are not currently a
significant portion of Cingular’s total revenues, Cingular plans to
accelerate the development of this business. In late 2001, Cingular
launched GPRS in Seattle, Las Vegas, eastern Tennessee, coastal Georgia
and the Carolinas and plans to launch GPRS in California by mid-2002. In
January 2002, Cingular announced the formation of a joint venture with
AT&T Wireless Services Inc. (AT&T Wireless) that is expected to allow
Confidential
Page 6.
9/20/02
Cingular to extend its GSM/GPRS network coverage along interstate
highways in the upper Midwestern and Western sections of the U.S.
Cingular expects the new networks to be operational by the first quarter of
2003. Additionally, Cingular has announced it will begin upgrading its
network to third generation (3G) wireless data technology by introducing
Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE). EDGE technology is
Cingular’s choice for a 3G wireless communications standard that will
allow customers to access the Internet from their wireless devices at higher
speeds than in the past. This upgrade is expected to be completed by early
2004. During 2002, Cingular expects to spend approximately $4.5 billion
for ongoing capital expenditures and to begin overlaying its existing
network with GSM voice and GPRS/EDGE data technology.

BROADBAND NETWORK INITIATIVE
COMPETITIVE LOCAL EXCHANGE CARRIER OVERVIEW
SEPTEMBER 20, 2002
I.
OVERVIEW
A.
General
As a result of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, alternative local exchange
telephone companies are striving to penetrate the local telecommunications market.
The passage of this legislation has placed the industry in a pro-competitive
environment, providing many new alternative local service providers with an
opportunity to compete in this evolving industry. The following is a list of some of
the potential barriers to entry for alternative local exchange telephone companies:
1.
Name recognition of incumbent local exchange telephone companies
2.
Building awareness of entrants and their services
3.
Lack of a network infrastructure for facilities-based providers
4.
Development of resale and operational arrangements
5.
Start-up costs
6.
Interconnection arrangements
7.
Unbundling
8.
Number Portability
9.
Operations and maintenance
10. Customers service (including billing systems)
While the above list includes potential barriers, these barriers are not
insurmountable. Competition should result in the advancement of deployed
technology, creative service offerings, and greater choice and flexibility in the
market place. As competition in the telecommunications industry continues to
evolve, many new and innovative service offerings and combinations of services
will be introduced to the market place.

The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) is responsible for providing
information and making recommendations to the Commissioners of the ICC on
matters concerning telecommunications. In addition, the ICC provides
telecommunications information and assistance to members of the general public
as well as other governmental bodies and the press. The ICC’s
Telecommunications Division provides analytical, technical, and policy support on
all telecommunications issues coming to the ICC--tariffs, rules, federal
requirements, alternative regulatory proposals, mediation/arbitration requests, or
any other circumstances in which state or federal law is applied to
telecommunication services in Illinois.
2.
Incumbent Local Exchange Telephone companies
Incumbent Local exchange telephone companies are defined as
telecommunications companies that were historically granted exclusive franchises
to build, maintain, and provide local telephone service. Incumbent local exchange
telephone companies were certificated by the ICC to provide local exchange
telecommunications service in the state on or before 1995.
In response to the numerous inquiries about who is providing local exchange
service in Illinois, the Illinois Commerce Commission has coordinated a listing of
local exchange telephone companies. This listing includes the new competitive
local exchange companies, as well as incumbent local exchange companies. Each
company listed has the burden to keep this information current by providing the
Illinois Commerce Commission with updated information. The Illinois Commerce
Commission does not endorse any of these companies, but provides this
information to further consumer education about customer choices.
Following, is a list of competitive local exchange providers certified in Illinois:

Alternative Local Exchange Telephone companies
Alternative local exchange telephone companies are defined as any
company, other than incumbent local exchange telephone companies,
certificated by the ICC to provide local exchange telecommunications
services in the State of Illinois on or after 1995. Alternative local exchange
telephone companies planning to provide services in the State of Illinois
after 1995 must be certificated by the ICC. Alternative local exchange
telephone companies are also required to file a price list specifying their
rates and charges for basic local telecommunications services. Certificate
authority is on a statewide basis, except where prohibited. As of June, 2001,
the ICC was faced with approximately 425 applications from entities
desiring to be certified as non-incumbent local exchange companies.
II.
COMPETITIVE LOCAL EXCHANGE CARRIER – US
MARKET INFORMAITON
The following information was filed by qualifying US telephone
service providers with the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) in
2001. Reporting carriers own the “last mile” of wire, cable, or optical fiber
that connects to the end-user premises (or own the equivalent fixed wireless
facility) if it reports providing the local telephone line over its own facilities.
In general, local exchange and exchange access lines provisioned over
facilities (other than dark fiber) and services obtained from another carrier
are not the reporting carrier’s “own facilities” for purposes of this data
collection, irrespective of whether those facilities or services are obtained
under interconnection arrangements, under tariff, or by other means. In
particular, owning the switch that provides dial-tone (and other services)
over a UNE (unbundled network element) loop leased from another carrier
does not qualify a line as being provisioned over the reporting carrier’s own
facilities. UNE loops, as the term is used here, includes UNE loops leased
from an ILEC on a stand-alone basis and also UNE loops leased in
combination with UNE switching or with any other unbundled network
element.
Considering the technology deployed in the “last few feet” to the enduser customer’s premises, about 1% of nationwide local telephone lines in
service, or about 1.2 million lines, now terminate at the end-user customer’s
Confidential
Page 70.
9/20/2002
premises over coaxial cable facilities. Less than 1% of lines terminate over
fixed wireless facilities.
1.
Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (“CLECs”) reported a total
of 16.4 million (or 8.5%) local telephone access lines of the
approximately 194 million nationwide local telephone lines in
service to end-user customers. At the end of 1999, 8.3 million (or
4.4% of nationwide lines) were provided by CLECs. CLEC
market share has grown 93% in the past two years.
2.
CLECs have captured 20% of the market in the State of New
York – the most of any state. CLECs reported 2.8 million lines in
New York, compared to 1.2 million lines the prior year – an
increase of over 130%, from the time the FCC granted Verizon’s
long distance application in New York.
3.
CLECs captured 12% of the market in Texas, gaining 644,980
end-user lines in the six months since the FCC authorized SBC’s
long distance application in Texas.
4.
CLEC market share in New York and Texas (the third and second
most populous states and the two states where incumbent local
exchange carriers were granted long distance approval during the
reporting period ending in December 2000) are over 135% and
45% higher than the national average, respectively.
5.
The most populous state, California, has the third largest number
of CLEC lines reported. At least one CLEC is now serving
customers in 56% of the nation’s zip codes. About 88% of United
States households reside in these zip codes.
6.
CLECs reported lines in all states, the District of Columbia, and
Puerto Rico except Hawaii. Four or more CLECs reported serving
customers in 34 states.
7.
In Florida, Georgia, New York, and Texas, at least one-quarter of
the zip codes have seven or more reporting CLECs. By contrast,
8% of nationwide zip codes have seven or more reporting
CLECs.
Confidential
Page 71.
9/20/2002
8.
About 60% of CLEC local telephone lines served medium and
large business, institutional, and government customers. By
contrast, almost 20% of incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC)
lines served medium and large business customers.
9.
CLECs now serve 4.6% of the residential and small business
customers, compared to 2.3% for the year ago period. CLECs
share of the residential and small business customer market grew
nearly 45% over the past two years.
10. CLECs provided about 35% of their end-user customer lines over
their own local loop facilities.
11. Incumbent telephone companies now provide about 6.8 million
resale lines, and they now provide about 5.3 million UNE loops.
12. The 77 providers of mobile wireless telephone services that
reported information now serve over 101 million subscribers.
About 9% of these subscribers received their service via a mobile
telephone service reseller.
