Summary: 
Entry ordered; that, in accordance with the above findings, all local exchange companies in Ohio shall take whatever actions may be prudent and necessary in order to offer and provide 8-1-1 service throughout their Ohio service areas. That the Commission encourages such companies to offer and provide 8-1-1 service throughout their Ohio service areas by May 14, 2007 and, if a local exchange company finds itself unable to meet this target date for 8-1-1 service implementation, it should file a letter in this docket by May 14, 2007, explaining the reasons why not and describing the additional steps the company will take in order to begin providing the service, along with an estimated date when it expects to begin providing 8-1-1 service; that all local exchange companies in Ohio shall immediately begin negotiating a specialized or customer-specific contractual arrangement between the telephone company and its 8-1-1 service customer(s). The Commission's staff is available to mediate the contract negotiations if the parties to the contract would request it. The Commission encourages the parties to complete he necessary contract negotiations and execute a contract prior to the May 14, 2007 service implementation target date. As an alternative way of provisioning the service, a company would rather provide the service as a tariff service offering, it should submit its proposed tariff for doing as soon as possible as part of its effort to meet the May 14, 2007 service implementation target date.
