On February 1, 2006, the Bureau sent a letter of inquiry ("LOI") to Cbeyond to determine whether it has received or obtained proprietary information from another carrier and used that information in violation of section 222(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("the Act"), and section 64.2001 et seq. of the Commission's rules, which protects the confidentiality of CPNI. The LOI directed Cbeyond, among other things, to "[p]rovide Cbeyond's 47 C.F.R. S 64.2009(e) compliance certificate for the previous five years." 4.
