on July 1, 2006, reduce both the company’s originating and terminating per minute of use switched access rates in each market by an amount equal to 33 percent of the difference in the rates in effect on June 30, 2006, and the company’s respective federal originating and terminating per minute of use switched access rates;

(2)

on July 1, 2007, reduce both the company’s originating and terminating per minute of use switched access rates in each market by an amount equal to 33 percent of the difference in the rates in effect on June 30, 2006, and the company’s respective federal originating and terminating per minute of use switched access rates; and

(3)

on July 1, 2008, reduce both the company’s originating and terminating per minute of use switched access rates in each market to parity with the company’s respective federal originating and terminating per minute of use switched access rates.
