		LDDS asserts that United's actions amount to unjust and unreasonable practices in violation of Section 201(b) of the Act, and it seeks damages in the amount by which United retroactively increased its liability for intrastate access service.
		LDDS argues that the back-billing of which it complains constituted a single, unified transaction to which the Commission's jurisdiction necessarily attaches in light of the involvement of United's federal tariff.
		Thus LDDS contends that, given the reciprocal relationship between interstate and intrastate minutes of use, "any change to the intrastate PIU automatically affects change to the interstate PIU." It contends that, regardless of the terms of the intrastate tariff on the question, the interstate tariff prohibits back-billing.

		The lowest rated LDDs tended to be clustered: five in Virginia, two in Mississippi, two in Alabama.
		In the overall retention measure, the Region's LDDs ranged from a low of a 35 percent five-year retention rate in AL 1H to a high of 63 percent in VA 12F.
		The best LDD performances were among the largest classes of firms examined; nineteen LDDs (27 percent) demonstrated higher than average concentrations for firms which began with fewer than fifty employees and ended the period with more than one hundred.

		The new LDD also delivers the industry's fastest high-current switching times, with guaranteed rise times of 1.2ns (nanoseconds) and fall times of 1.4ns, and typical performance of 0.9 ns rise time and 1.1ns fall time over the full current range.
		The ZL40539 LDD's write channels are controlled through an integrated LVDS (low voltage differential signalling) interface, which provides low-noise, high-speed data transmission over ribbon cables between the controller chip and the optical pickup unit.
		The ZL40518 LDD is a three-channel device with performance to cost-effectively support existing 4x and 8x DVD recorder systems, as well as advanced high-speed 52x CD recorder units.

		The Agreement and Plan of Merger between Impact and LDDS was attached to the application as Exhibit H. Because the merger of LDDS and NTA will be an intracorporate merger rather than a merger negotiated at arm's length, no agreement of sale exists.
		LDDS' rates and terms of service, already on file with the Commission, will not be affected by the proposed transaction.

		LDDs are known variously by many names, including councils of governments (COG), economic development districts (EDD), regional planning commissions (RPC), planning and development districts (PDD), area development districts (ADD), and regional planning and development boards (RPDB).
		LDDs also enjoy the support of the National Association of Development Organizations (NADO), which provides training, information and representation for regional development organizations in small metropolitan and rural America.
		While LDDs can learn the ins and outs of how the program is to work in the third year, they can provide valuable input as to what works and what does not.

		The administrative agency of each LDD thus prepares in advance the annual maintenance plan which specifies planned activities, their duration and costs, required machinery, and dates of maintenance according to a methodology established by INAT (1996).
		The AA is responsible for the LDD's operation, its obligation extending from harnessing the water to delivering it at the entrance to each property, from whence water distribution is the responsibility of each user.
		The major legal issue affecting the transfer of an LDD to its WUA is the ownership of the infrastructure and assets already constructed and in operation for the LDD.

		LDDS stands for 'Limited Distance Data Service', but the definition provided by the Respondent at the Glossary of Terms found on its website is more descriptive.
		LDDS is described by the Respondent as a 'dedicated point-to-point service sometimes referred to as an unloaded copper pair with no guaranteed speed.' 15.
		The Respondent's decision to remove the LDDS option from its portfolio of service offerings constitutes a serious blow to the independent ISP community, many members of which are currently using hundreds of LDDS circuits to provide their customers with new and innovative competitive alternatives to the Respondent's high speed Internet access services.

		Although the LDDS circuit is no different in terms of its physical characteristics than other twisted copper pairs, one important difference is that the loop does not interconnect with the PSTN.
		Although the Respondent has dismissed out of hand the importance which ISPs place on the continued availability of LDDS circuits, it is clear from the submissions of other parties to the Commission that these circuits are absolutely essential to the provision of competing xDSL services.
		In the alternative, and in the event that the Commission is not in a position to issue the orders requested herein, the Applicants hereby give notice of their support to the request for interim relief which was made by Wiznet Inc. in a letter to the Commission dated February 7, 2000.

		The Telecommunications Act is designed to open up the telecom industry to greater competition by allowing the regional "Baby Bells" to enter the long-distance market if they open up their local monopolies to competition.

	ICEH: Learning and Developmental Disabilities Initiative
		At the first meeting in Washington, DC, the initial group of participants determined that the national LDD sector, with its hundreds of thousands of members, in collaboration with scientists and key environmental health and justice organizations, could be an effective voice for protecting children from toxic hazards related to brain development.
		In addition, the group acknowledged that most learning and LDD groups have traditionally focused on identifying kids with LDDs and getting them the services they need – something that is, of course, very important but does not address the rising rates of LDDs.
		For this reason, LDDI also coalesced to encourage the LDD sector to look collectively upstream, and in addition to their other efforts, help prevent toxic threats to child development.

		Or maybe the songs in those hours were too long to make room for the LDD and they didn't want to shorten them.
		Now if the songs were regular length and they'd repeated the second verse in a few of them, that would make absolutely no sense.
		I'll bet the second verse was cut out of a song or two in the third hour of the show.

		LDDS WorldCom believes that the levels of universal service support should be derived from the cost of providing service, not from the LECs' current prices.
		LDDS WorldCom generally supports the joint Benchmark Costing Model approach advocated by MCI, Sprint, and others for rural and high-cost areas.
		LDDS WorldCom suggests just one possibility: First, the LECs should be required to quantify (a) the Total Service Long Run Incremental Cost of providing interconnection to the LEGs' local networks, including a reasonable profit to the LECs; (b) all federal universal service obligations; and © the remaining non-cost-abased LEC "expenses" contained in access charges.

		Furthermore, several LDDs noted that their status as government organizations placed restrictions on their ability to raise private funds, while others noted the lack of an affiliated non-profit organization with the 501(c)(3) tax status that could legally apply for such grants.
		Finally, as few LDDs noted that they were discouraged in their fundraising efforts by the prospects of significant competition with non-governmental organizations located within their region.
		Given the large number of LDD non-profit affiliates, one would have expected that these organizations would be able to capitalize on this institutional capability to apply for foundations grants.
