I’ve worked with telecom professionals for over 20 years – veterans and novices alike – and take it from me, I guarantee there’s no better way to quickly get up-to-speed on access and interconnection.  No text book… no website… no courses will, in just 1½ days, give you a better grounding in the fundamentals and on key policy issues affecting access and interconnection!

     Access and interconnection costs can exceed an astounding 50% of a company’s total operating costs. Even minor improvements in how you buy and build your local and long distance networks will quickly translate to real and sizable boosts to your bottom line – and often better service for your customers. But you must know the many and complex rules, regulations and prices that come into play with access and interconnection to fully realize savings. 

     Attend Understanding Telco Access and Interconnection – led by industry veteran and regulatory expert Andy Regitsky – and you’ll:

• Understand the basics of access charges, and why much of the industry is lobbying the FCC for fundamental changes to the system
• Learn how reciprocal compensation works, and see how built-in structural flaws lead to difficult problems like “phantom traffic”
• Discover how pricing flexibility gives LECs greater leeway over the price you pay for access, and why “competition” often means higher prices
• Drill down into the pros and cons of interconnection options, from resale and unbundled network elements (UNEs) to building your own facilities
• Find out how the many access charge reform proposals before the FCC work, and when, if ever, you can expect action by the FCC
