Default Order By the Commission:
On March 26, 2008, the Law Bureau Prosecutory Staff filed a Formal Complaint against Xchange Telecom Corporation (the Respondent), a reseller of interexchange toll services carrier certificated at A-311386. In the Complaint, Prosecutory Staff alleged that the Commission sent by certified mail prior written notices to the Respondent that pursuant to 66 Pa.C.S. § 504 its 2006 Annual Report was due. The Complaint alleged that the Respondent violated 66 Pa.C.S. § 504 by failing to file its 2006 Annual Report. The Complaint requested that the Commission issue an order cancelling the Respondent's certificate of public convenience for failure to file its 2006 Annual Report.
According to the U.S. Postal Service return receipt, the Complaint was served on May 15, 2008. To date, more than 20 days later, no answer has been filed to the Complaint and the 2006 Annual Report has not been filed. In addition, we are not aware that Respondent has any current customers in Pennsylvania, and Respondent was never assigned any NXX codes.
The Commission puts the industry on notice that we will not hesitate to invoke our authority under the Public Utility Code to ensure timely compliance with our regulations and orders including the ordering of such other remedy as the Commission may deem appropriate. 66 Pa.C.S. §§ 504, 505, 506 and 3301. Based on Respondent's failure to file an answer to the Complaint or file its 2006 Annual Report, we conclude that revocation of Xchange Telecom Corporation's certificate of public convenience is in the public interest. Furthermore, the Commission may take other appropriate action, including the imposition of penalties under section 3301, in lieu of cancellation, if Respondent seeks relief from this Default Order; Therefore,
It Is Ordered That:
