A Guide to FCC Reforms

Registration is required before viewing.

Across the board, stakeholders in the industry agree the current access charge regime is hopelessly out of step with the technological and competitive changes that have transformed the industry. Yet, despite years of proceedings and discussions, there has been no substantive action by the FCC. Now, with a newly constituted FCC in place and economic and technical pressures greater than ever before, industry insiders agree that the FCC will act.

The critical questions now are: how soon will the FCC act; how profound will the changes be; and how quickly will they be put in place. The answers to these questions are the driving factors in your network costs. You must be prepared to take action when access charge reforms are finally put into place.

Join industry veteran Andy Regitsky for this webinar replay as he breaks down this issue – fundamental to the economics of every carrier and service provider – and gives you a concise examination of:

» The underlying flaws in the current system, many which lead to harmful (and expensive) rate arbitrage

» The critical link between access charge reform and the Universal Service Fund

» The industry access charge reform proposals now before the FCC

» The changes in the access cost structure and rate elements – like unified termination rates, alternative costing  methodologies, changes to originating access and more – that you can expect

» The length and pace of transition plans

Without a doubt, access charge reform will dramatically change the economics and engineering of your network.  View this webinar and make sure you prepare yourself for the most profound changes in network costs since 1984!
