It has been more than a decade since Wisconsin took its first stab at deregulating telecommunications services. This docket will look at changes in the industry since then and attempt to answer questions about what, if any, new legislation is needed to address the ever-changing face of telecommuncations services.
Retail issues are the heart of what the Commission will be looking at in the next couple months. It will attempt to answer questions such as: Does competition exist? How do you measure it? If it does exist, what regulations do we need to change? Who do we apply that to? What kind of a time table do we do that under? And do we consider some kind of a mechanism to re-regulate if competition goes away?
Docket 05-TI-1777.
