Qwest's and Verizon's forbearance petitions on reporting requirements remain active, though the FCC granted the carriers some of what they wanted on a similar AT&T petition. AT&T, Verizon, Qwest, Embarq and Frontier filed petitions seeking forbearance from Automated Reporting Management Information System requirements. A footnote in the AT&T order said, "To the extent that the [other] petitions seek other regulatory relief, those requests remain pending." The Embarq and Frontier petitions sought less relief than AT&T and so are considered taken care of, but Qwest and Verizon asked for more relief than AT&T. The carriers can withdraw their petitions if they're satisfied. "We continue to ask the relief that it is seeking," a Qwest spokesman said. Verizon is "reviewing what is still outstanding in our petition and will make a determination," a spokesman said.
