File No. E-99-21



                                   ORDER


     Adopted:  December 22, 1999        Released:  December 23, 1999

By the Deputy Chief, Market Disputes Resolution Division, Enforcement Bureau:

          1.   On June 30, 1999, Innkeepers' Telemanagement & Equipment Corporation
(ITEC) filed the above-captioned formal complaint against MCI Telecommunications Corporation (MCI)
complaining that MCI violated numerous provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended
(Act).  ITEC alleged, among other things, that MCI violated section 201(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 
201(b), by failing to inform it that an agreement between ITEC and MCI was terminated, by marketing
to ITEC's customers, and by failing to make reasonable efforts to settle its dispute with ITEC.  ITEC
alleged that MCI violated section 202(a) of the Act, 47 U.S.C.  202(a), by making certain concessions
to third parties not made to ITEC.  ITEC alleged that MCI violated section 203 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 
203, by making unlawful rebates.  Finally, ITEC challenged as unlawful pursuant to sections 201(b), 206,
207, 208, 402, 404, 405, 414 and 415 of the Act, 47 U.S.C.  201(b), 206, 207, 208, 402, 404, 405,
414, 415, certain arbitration provisions in MCI's tariff.

          2.   On December 22, 1999, ITEC filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss the complaint
with prejudice.  In support of the motion, ITEC states that it has executed a settlement agreement with
MCI resolving this matter.  The motion is unopposed.

          3.   Based on ITEC's representations in its motion, we believe that the dismissal of
this complaint will serve the public interest by promoting the private resolution of disputes and eliminating
the need for further litigation and the expenditure of further time and resources of the parties and the Commission.

          4.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to sections 4(i), 4(j), and 208 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), 154(j), and 208, and the authority
delegated in sections 0.111 and 0.311 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.111 and 0.311, that
ITEC's Motion to Voluntarily Dismiss the Complaint, IS GRANTED.

          5.   IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to sections 4(i), 4(j), and 208 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), 154(j), and 208, and the authority
delegated in sections 0.111 and 0.311 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.111 and 0.311, that the
above-captioned complaint is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE and this proceeding IS TERMINATED.
