NTCA and Industry Partners Urge Caution in FCC’s IP Interconnection Transition

(October 22) NTCA, alongside other industry groups, met with FCC officials to support the transition to IP-based interconnection while emphasizing the need to preserve existing wholesale voice network arrangements that underpin reliable communications, including NG911 services. The associations urged the commission to refine its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to develop a stronger factual record, particularly regarding competition dynamics and the potential costs to rural and competitive providers if key regulatory protections are prematurely removed.
