Filing Form 502 |
The enactment of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the continuing development of the Internet have created significant new telecommunications opportunities for Commercial Mobile Radio Service Providers, Competitive Local Exchange Carriers and other Telecommunications service providers. Unfortunately, many Local Exchange Carriers continue to impede competition and the development of new telecommunications business by resisting implementation of the Federal Communications Commission rules governing interconnection with other carriers. In addition, misinformation and misunderstanding of basic network interconnection by inexperienced carriers can lead to costly delays and overpriced facilities.
Consider the basics of an Interconnection Agreement:
Conforming to FCC Rules
LATA wide Traffic delivery for CMRS carriers
Reciprocal/symmetrical compensation
UNE pricing
Trouble reporting
SS-7 Connections
Insurance requirements
Co-location
