Company Contact and Escalation Lists


Migration Information- Secretarial letter that explains the regulations establishing an orderly process for customer migration between local service providers within the telecommunications industry. Dated October 31, 2005.

Commission regulations at 52 Pa Code Chapter 63.201 require each Local Service Provider (LSP) and Network Service Provider (NSP) operating in Pennsylvania to maintain a company contact and escalation list for resolving migration problems and interfering station conditions. The service provider is to keep its list current, make the list available on a publicly accessible website and supply the website address to the Commission. The Commission has posted below the website addresses supplied by the service providers.

This information is available to any service provider that may need to contact another service provider to resolve a migration problem. The websites are listed alphabetically
by service provider and are linked to the provider’s contact information site.
