Petition to adopt rule on "fresh look" for customers with long-term contracts

On September 28, 1999, a group of competitive local exchange companies asked the WUTC to adopt a new rule that would in some circumstances allow customers of incumbent local exchange companies to terminate their term contracts without paying any cancellation fees that would otherwise be provided for in the contract or tariff.

The WUTC decided on November 15, 1999 to deny the petition. The WUTC said that, if there are specific instances in which long-term contracts are being used in discriminatory or anti-competitive ways, those contracts should be brought before it.
