Dennis Hastert said "Mr. Chairman, a refinement of the Boucher amendment assures that rural telephone companies defined in H.R. 1555 will be exempted from complying with the competitive checklist until a competitor makes a bona fide request. Once a bona fide request is made, a State is given 120 days to determine whether to terminate the exemption. States must terminate the exemption if the expanded interconnection request is technically feasible, not unduly economically burdensome, is consistent with certain principles for the preservation of universal service." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
