    The Commission asked whether physical collocation in remote 
terminals presents technical or security concerns and, if so, whether 
these concerns warrant modification of its collocation rules. The 
Commission asked whether incumbent LECs should be required to provide 
requesting carriers with demographic and other information regarding 
particular remote terminals similar to the information available 
regarding incumbent LEC central offices. Requesting carriers use 
demographic and other information obtained from incumbent LECs to 
determine whether they wish to collocate at particular terminals.

Federal Communications Commission.
