Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 Twelfth Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: WC Docket Nos. 06-54 & 06-55 Notice of Ex Parte Presentation Dear Ms. Dortch: On December 12, 2006, Keith Oliver of Home Telephone Company (?Home?), Ben Spearman of PBT, Inc. (?PBT?) and John Kuykendall of John Staurulakis, Inc. (?JSI?) met with Thomas Navin, Julie Veach, Marcus Maher and Renee Crittendon of the Wireline Competition Bureau on behalf of the South Carolina Telephone Coalition (?SCTC?) to discuss two petitions filed by Time Warner Cable and related comments filed in WC Docket Nos. 06-54 & 06-55. Home and PBT are among the twenty-one members of the SCTC. A copy of the presentation which was discussed at the meeting is attached. In the meeting, Mr. Oliver and Mr. Spearman explained that the SCTC and many of the member companies including Home and PBT were directly involved in one or more of the South Carolina Public Service Commission proceedings that are referenced in the petitions. The representatives demonstrated that exchange of traffic and not interconnection is the real issue in dispute and urged the Commission to deny the petitions and consider these matters only in the context of its IP Enabled Services Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proceeding. Please contact the undersigned with any questions. Respectfuly submited, /s/ John Kuykendall John Kuykendall Director ?
