Please provide the information included in this exhibit for each of the 7 exchanges at issue in this proceeding. RESPONSE: Qwest will supplement its response to this request. SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE dated 02/27/03: Qwest obj ects to this Request on the grounds and for the reason that it seeks information that is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Dr. Lincoln I s Exhibit 8 presents statistically valid information relating to customer perceptions across the seven exchanges. The exchange-specific data requested by Staff may not , for any particular disaggregated segment , include a large enough sample size to render statistically meaningful results. Qwest will object to any attempt by any party to extrapolate exchange-specific findings based on such disaggregation unless that party can demonstrate that the data reflects a statistically meaningful sample size. Qwest invites other parties to conduct their own surveys if exchange-specific data would be, in that party's view, probative to the issues in this case. Without waiving the foregoing objections and specifically relying thereon Qwest provides the following response. Please see Attachment A - Seven Exchange Breakouts-Residential. doc.
