Today, NECA, WTA, OPASTCO, NTCA and ERTA filed reply comments on the FCC’s proposed rules for near-term intercarrier compensation reform.  Original comments were submitted on April 1st.  The associations find that there is overwhelming support in the record for quick action by the FCC to curb arbitrage opportunities in the intercarrier compensation system as set forth in Section XV of the FCC’s NPRM.
