Ventures in Communications II, L.L.C.("Ventures") is the corporate parent of a number of operating subsidiaries that provide telecommunications services to the public. OnePoint, a subsidiary of Ventures, is a non—dominant provider of local, long distance and international telephone service, video service, and high—speed Internet access to apartment and condominium (Multiple Dwelling Units or "MDUs") residents. This Notice is being filed in preparation for the proposed acquisition of OnePoint by Verizon Investments, Inc. ("VII"), a wholly—owned subsidiary of Bell Atlantic Corporation d/b/a Verizon Communications ("Verizon"). As a result of this acquisition, OnePoint will become subject to the regulatory requirements that prohibit Verizon from offering originating interLATA services in its local service region until it has met the requirements of Section 271 ofthe Telecommunications Act of 1996." To ensure that no customers will be adversely affected by this service discontinuation, OnePoint has undertaken a multi—step notification process pursuant to Sections 63.19 and 63.71 * OnePoint currently provides international service pursuant to authority in a Section 214 international resale authorization granted to OnePoint Communications, LLC (File No. ITC—214—19970418—00216). This authorization is one of two international Section214 authorizations held by OnePoint subsidiaries, and they are both at issue in the proposed acquisition of OnePoint by Verizon. The other such international 214 authorization is held by OnePoint Services, LLC (File No. ITC—214—20000321—00206).

See International Authorization Granted, Public Notice, Report No. TEL—00300, DA No. 00—2310 (rel. Oct. 12, 2000). OnePoint will relinquish these portions of the two international Section 214 authorizations that authorize service other than the resale of an unaffiliated U.S. facilities—based carrier‘s international switched services, effective upon the consummation of the transaction with Verizon. * See 47 U.S.C. § 271.

To ensure that these customers to do not suffer any service interruptions, OnePoint has also arranged to transfer any remaining OnePoint long distance customers to Talk.com (d/b/a "The Phone Company"‘). Talk.com has committed to provide long distance service to those customers on the same, or better, rates, terms, and conditions that OnePoint currently offers. OnePoint and Talk.com have separately filed a Joint Petition for Waiver of the Commuission‘s carrier—change rules, 47 C.F.R. Sections 64.1100 through 64.1 190.‘ OnePoint estimates that a total of approximately 8,100 customers in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Washington, DC will be affected by this service discontinuation, and that no customers will be left without long distance and international service at rates and on terms equivalent to those that they now receive from OnePoint. 4 See Section 63.71 Application of OnePoint Communications Corp. for Section 214 Authority to Discontinue Service, Application to Discontinue, ITC—214—19970418—00216 (filed Sep. 15, 2000). °47 CFR. § 63.71(a)(5)G). 6 Joint Petition For Waiver Of OnePoint Communications Corp.
