For example, if certain facilities are projected to serve 1,000 telephone lines and 250 cable subscribers, BellSouth will allocate 80% (1000 divided by

  • Cost allocation forecasts The Commission's cost allocation rules require that costs be allocated between regulated and nonregulated activities. Carriers are required to assign costs directly to regulated and nonregulated activities, whenever possible. Costs that cannot be directly assigned are known as ``shared'' or ``common costs'' and are allocated between regulated and nonregulated use based on a hierarchy of principles. Section 64.901(b)(4) of the Commission's rules requires that carriers allocate the costs of central office equipment and outside plant investment between regulated and nonregulated activities based on a forecast of the relative regulated and nonregulated usage during a three calendar year period beginning with the current calendar year.

Costs that cannot be directly assigned are known as ``shared'' or ``common costs'' and are allocated between regulated and nonregulated use based on a hierarchy of principles.

  • Commenters should also address how the dual state-federal ratemaking framework might be affected by the regulatory classification of wireline broadband Internet access service as an information service. For instance, if wireline broadband Internet access service is an information service, how should joint and common costs of facilities used to provide both those services and telecommunications services be allocated under Part 64.901 of our rules? Should we modify our current cost allocation rules, and, if so, how? Commenters should also address the implications for jurisdictional separations of the issues addressed in this proceeding. We specifically encourage state members of the Federal-State Joint Board on Separations (Separations Joint Board) to submit comments on the issues addressed above.
