   PRELIMINARY STATEMENT   
      
   This Petition seeks an Order of the Public Service Commission   
   ("Commission") creating a formal proceeding to consider the methods,   
   technologies, policies and impacts on the public of New York's   
   telecommunications system, with specific reference to Commission   
   decisions regarding deregulation of service1. This proceeding should   
   address factual matters upon which policies are based, the broad   
   functionality and impacts of the system and its governing policies,   
   and specific issues enumerated below.   
      
   ...   
      
   Rate increases and deregulation itself has been premised on assertions   
   that the legacy systems are significant money losers.  The public   
   record, which includes PSC documents, FCC document and SEC documents   
   do not sustain those assumptions, and at best present conflicting data   
   on the revenues and costs of providers. For example, in 2010, Verizon   
   New York's SEC-Report had revenues of $7.2 billion, but the PSCAnnual   
   only showed about $4.98 billion, a difference of $2.24 billion.   
   Fundamental policies can not be based on such uncertain financial   
   data.
