OT> This is good news, but is it going to set the standard?> Two competitive local exchange companies (CLECs) in Ill. say Ameritech is keeping its word about obeying lawful orders<> October 16, 1998 COMMUNICATIONS DAILY via NewsEdge Corporation : Two competitive local exchange companies (CLECs) in Ill. say Ameritech is keeping its word about obeying lawful orders to pay reciprocal compensation it owes them for local calls placed to Internet service providers (ISPs) that take their local service from CLECs. Focal Communications in Chicago said Ameritech has made "full settlement" by paying $7 million billed by Focal. MCI WorldCom said Ameritech has paid $27 million of $30 million MCI claimed in Ill. and promised to pay rest soon. Three other Ill. CLECs that were fighting with Ameritech over whether calls to ISP numbers are local or interstate didn't say last week whether they had received payments. Ameritech and Bell Atlantic (BA) last week said they will be paying CLECs all compensation owed on ISP calls in 3 Ameritech and 11 BA states where commissions/courts have ruled ISP calls are local and required payment of reciprocal compensation (CD Oct 9 p3). International Telstra of Australia awarded $200 million contract to Nortel Networks to build CDMA network to be ready for service in 3rd quarter of 1999.
