Form 1275, Item C.1
RCN-BecoCom, LLC currently is a cable operator applying for OVS certification within its Boston, Massachusetts cable service area. RCN-BecoCom is qualified to operate an open video system under 47 C.F.R. § 76.1501 because it also is a local exchange carrier certified to provide telecommunications services in Massachusetts. (See Statement of Business Operations and Tariffs of RCN-BecoCom, LLC, filed with the Massachusetts Department of Telecommunications and Energy on October 29, 1997).
Form 1275, Item C.4
RCN-BecoCom has received the necessary authorization from the FCC to offer interstate domestic and international telecommunications (see FCC File No. ITC-214-19971027-00661). Upon receipt of such authority, RCN-BecoCom was classified as a non-dominant common carrier and as such is not required to file a cost allocation manual at the Commission. Item C.4 therefore is not applicable.
CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
I, Sonja Sykes-Minor, hereby certify that on this 18th day of April 2002, copies of the foregoing FCC Form 1275 Certification for Open Video System of RCN-BecoCom, LLC, were served on the parties listed below, as noted:
