Rural Associations File Comments on Call Completion Waiver Requests

On May 12, NECA, WTA, NTCA and ERTA filed comments in response to two petitions for waiver by Midcontinent Communications and AT&T of the FCC’s recently adopted call completion rules. The associations state “each provider should conclusively demonstrate a minimum four quarters of comparable call completion performance between rural and non-rural areas before the Commission considers any relaxation of the date retention and reporting requirements.”
