8/5/2011 America’s Broadband Connectivity (ABC) Plan is the latest salvo in the FCC’s – and the industry’s – attempt at major reform of the inter-carrier compensation system. Two rounds of comments on the ABC Plan, and other similar plans, are scheduled this month. The biggest anticipated hurdle is how to reconcile the expected power struggle over who’s really in charge, the individual states or the FCC. Stay tuned! 07/06/2011 The North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC) scheduled an October 18 hearing on Sprint’s petition to require in-state ILECs to lower access charges to interstate levels. In setting the hearing schedule, the Commission expanded the petition to also include all CLECs operating in N.C. Initial testimony is due Aug. 10, with rebuttal testimony on Sept. 27. 05/31/2011 The FCC’s ongoing proceeding to revamp universal service and inter-carrier compensation has state commissions in an uproar. The FCC proposes to take control of intrastate access charges and to set the per minute access rate equal to the current reciprocal compensation rate of $0.0007, and the states argue these moves would result in unsustainable increases on local phone rates. Look for a long and contentious battle as both sides attempt to move reform efforts forward.
