   alone;

o  A comparison of the economics of (1) single Voice Lines, (2) single Data
   Lines, and (3) packages of voice and data lines provisioned on both Mpower's
   VoDSL network as well as Mpower's separate voice and data networks;

o  Case studies of historical penetration in selected mature Mpower markets; and
