2. Most of the materials provided to the Court were either (1) produced by the merging parties pursuant to Second Requests, see 15 U.S.C. § 18a(e)(2); 16 C.F.R. § 803.20; or (2) produced by third parties pursuant to Civil Investigative Demands ("CIDs"), see 15 U.S.C. §§ 1311-1314. Both AT&T and MCI, in addition to producing materials pursuant to Second Requests, produced materials pursuant to CIDs.
3. The documents at Tab 1, Retail Customer Statements, Bates range beginning DOJ-CUSTLTRS-000001, are statements and declarations of retail customers in support of the merger between SBC and AT&T that were provided by SBC and AT&T during the Department's investigation. They are true and correct copies of the material provided to the Department by SBC and AT&T.
   • DOJ-CUSTLTRS-000001 was provided to the Department by SBC.
   • DOJ-CUSTLTRS-000062 was provided to the Department by SBC.
   • DOJ-CUSTLTRS-000176 was provided to the Department by AT&T.
   • DOJ-CUSTLTRS-000240 was provided to the Department by SBC.

   The customer statements in DOJ-CUSTLTRS-000001 and DOJ-CUSTLTRS-000240 are publicly available at the FCC's web site at and .

4. The document at Tab 2, AT&T Network Maps, DOJ-ATTMAPS-000001, is a true and correct copy of an excerpt of an interrogatory response produced by AT&T pursuant to a Second Request, containing the maps of AT&T's local fiber networks in the cities in SBC franchise territory that are referenced in the Department's Complaint.
5. The document at Tab 3, AT&T Buildings List, DOJ-ATT-000002, is a true and correct copy of an excerpt of a nationwide list of "on-net" buildings that AT&T provided pursuant to a Second Request, listing the "on-net" buildings in the cities referenced in the Department's Complaints.
6. The documents at Tab 4, MCI Network Maps, Bates range beginning DOJ-MCIMAPS-000002, are true and correct copies of an excerpt of an interrogatory response produced by MCI pursuant to a Second Request, containing maps of MCI's local fiber networks in the cities in Verizon franchise territory that are referenced in the Department's Complaint.
7. The document at Tab 5, MCI Buildings List, DOJ-MCI-000001, is a true and correct copy of an excerpt of a nationwide list of "on-net" buildings that MCI provided pursuant to a Second Request, listing the "on-net" buildings in the cities referenced in the Department's Complaints.
8. The documents at Tab 6, CLEC Network Maps and Building Lists, are true and correct copies of documents produced by CLECs pursuant to CIDs, except as noted. They are of two types. First, there are maps showing the paths of the CLECs' fiber networks in the cities referenced in the Complaints. Second, there are lists of the locations reached by each CLEC's network, including end user buildings, carrier hotels, points of presence ("POPs"), and ILEC central offices. Some CLECs produced all types of buildings on one list; others provided multiple lists.
   • The maps provided at Tab 6 are very large when printed; accordingly, they are neither Bates-numbered nor produced in hard copy, but they are provided on disk. They were produced by the following CLECs pursuant to CIDs:

9. AT&T and MCI produced pursuant to Second Requests and CIDs electronic geographic information systems ("GIS") files that allow GIS software to analyze the data geographically and to plot the fiber paths on maps. Several other CLECs (listed below) also produced GIS files pursuant to CIDs. The maps at Tab 7, Overlapping CLEC Fiber Maps,were created using GIS software and are true and correct copies of the overlapping fiber networks of the following carriers:

   [REDACTED TEXT]

   [REDACTED TEXT]

   Tab 7 includes two maps for each relevant city. For the Verizon cities, the first map shows MCI fiber in blue, and all other CLECs (including AT&T) in green. The second map shows MCI fiber in blue, AT&T fiber in red, and all other CLECs in green. For the SBC cities, the first map shows AT&T fiber in red, and all other CLECs (including MCI) in green. The second map shows AT&T fiber in red, MCI fiber in blue, and all other CLECs in green. Not all carriers who provided network information to the Department were able to provide data in a GIS format that the Department could display on these overlapping maps. Thus, the maps for some cities, such as Hartford, Richmond, Kansas City, and St. Louis, do not show as much fiber as actually exists. See Tab 7, Note on the Overlapping Fiber Maps.
