By Order No. PSC-08-0422-PAA-TI, issued June 24, 2008, the Commission approved MP Alliance Technologies, Inc.’s (MPAT) proposed settlement offer to resolve the company’s apparent violation of Rule 25-24.470, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), Registration Required. MPAT was providing intrastate interexchange telecommunications (IXC) services in Florida and had not registered as an IXC or filed a tariff with the Commission. To resolve the company’s apparent violation, MPAT proposed to cease operating in Florida and to submit a $5,000 settlement payment to the Commission. The Order became effective on July 21, 2008, upon issuance of Consummating Order No. PSC-08-0466-CO-TI. MPAT no longer appears to be operating in Florida; however, the company has not submitted the $5,000 payment as ordered by the Commission.
The purpose of this recommendation is to obtain the Commission’s approval to close this docket. The Commission is vested with jurisdiction over these matters pursuant to Sections 364.02, 364.04, and 364.285, Florida Statutes. Accordingly, staff believes the following recommendation is appropriate.
Issue 1:
