Abstract: The Commission imposes this third-party disclosure requirement on the BOCs in order to implement the nondiscrimination requirement of section 274(c)(2)(A) of the Communications Act, as amended. The Commission requires that, to the extent a BOC refers a customer to a separated affiliate, electronic publishing joint venture of affiliate during the normal course of its telemarketing operations, it must refer that customer to all unaffiliated electronic publishers requesting the referral service. In particular, the BOC must provide the customer the names of all unaffiliated electronic publishers.
