On September 20, representatives from WTA and WTA member companies met with staff from the FCC’s Wireline Competition Bureau and Chairman Wheeler’s office, as well as staff from the offices Commissioners O’Rielly, Rosenworcel, and Clyburn. The discussion focused on a proposal previously submitted by WTA “regarding the burden of producing evidence that should be required from an entity before it is deemed to have filed a bona fide claim in the Rate of Return Path challenge process for classification as an ‘unsubsidized competitor’.”
