The original survey vehicle was developed through a collaborative process set forth in the Commission’s order in docket U-12320 in 2000.

This docket was initiated to review AT&T Michigan’s application for Section 271 long distance authority.

The results of portions of this survey are reported as total CLEC group numbers to maintain the confidentiality of the individual company numbers.

Survey expanded after November 21, 2005 MTA (2005 PA 235) amendments were signed into law.

Section 103 of the MTA requires that a provider submit to the Commission all information that is required by the Commission which is necessary for preparation of the annual report.
