D.P.U. 91-64
New England Telephone and Telegraph Company ("NET" or "Company")
is seeking permission from the Department to offer a new service
called Phonesmart. The proposed service includes four separate
service features: Caller ID; Repeat Dialing; Call Return; and Call
Trace. NET proposes to offer these services to one-party residence
and business customers including Centrex but excluding PBX trunk,
foreign exchange or foreign central office customers. The Company
proposes to offer the service initially only on the North and South
Shore of the Boston Metropolitan area.
According to the Company, the Caller ID feature would display the
telephone number of the calling party on a display device purchased
separately by the customers. The Company proposes to make available
to customers the capability to block the passage of their telephone
number on a call-by-call basis, free of charge.
The Department will conduct a public hearing on the above matter
at its hearing room, 1210 Leverett Saltonstall Building, 100 Cambridge
Street, Boston, Massachusetts on Wednesday, May 29, 1991 at 2:00 p.m.
A procedural conference for parties who have formally intervened
will be held on May 30, 1991 at 10:00 a.m. at the Department's
offices.
