Summary: On October 25, 2001, John Marsch, Chairman of TRI-M Communications, Inc. dba TMC Communications (TMC), sent identical letters to Lester Wong, advisor to Cmmr. Bilas and to Robert Wullenjohn, advisor to Cmmr. Wood. A copy of the letter is attached to the notice. The letters refer to an offer by Pacific Bell to reduce certain prices for unbundled network elements (UNE) and contend that Pacific Bell should be required to demonstrate that its UNE prices have pro-competitive results. The letters also express frustration that TMC cannot enter the market in Santa Barbara and other areas served by Verizon-California due to excessive UNE prices.Filer: TRI-M Communications, Inc.Contact: Cynthia Addad Phone: (415) 392-7900
