On September 24, 1996, Rocky Mountain Communications, Inc.  (Rocky Mountain) filed a Complaint against U S WEST Communications, Inc. and U S WEST Enterprise America, Inc.  (U S WEST) alleging the “quality, general availability, terms and conditions of Title 62 telecommunications services provided by [U S WEST] to [Rocky Mountain] have been unreasonable, inadequate, discriminatory, arbitrary and adverse to the public interest.”  The Commission Secretary has issued a summons directing U S WEST to respond to the Complaint within 21 days pursuant to the Commission’s Rule of Procedure 57.
Rocky Mountain also filed a Motion for Order to Show Cause requesting that the Commission either issue an order directing U S WEST to fill all held orders with respect to Rocky Mountain’s request for telephone access lines, T-1 facilities and ISDN single-line service, or schedule a hearing for U S WEST to show cause why such an order should not be issued.
Commission Decision

2.  Should the Commission schedule a hearing for U S WEST to show cause why such an order should not be issued by the Commission?
