<p class=MsoPlainText>Regarding the Cyber Center, the Commission issued an oral
order, which is eventually to be followed by a written order. Attached is the
Commission's press release on the issue. In a nutshell, Qwest wanted $10
Million in SASA funds devoted to the proposed CyberCenter, DoIT none, and Staff
only the network portion, which would be much less than $10 million. The
Commission ordered $2.2 million to come from Qwest non-SASA funds, and $7.8
million from SASA funds for the building of the Cyber Center. The $2.2 million
of Qwest's non-SASA money is to be spent up front. The decision on the spending
of the SASA monies on the CyberCenter is not to be precedential. If Qwest
discontinues the Cyber Center within 5 years, any portion of the $7.8 Million
SASA money spent is to return to the SASA for use on other projects. This is in
the press release. When the formal order is issued, I will forward it to the list.
