WTA Files Comments on Business Data Services

Today, WTA filed comments with the FCC in support of the Business Data Service (BDS) regulatory proposals advanced by ITTA and USTelecom in their May 25, 2017 “Petition for Rulemaking.” Specifically, WTA urges that Rate-of-Return carriers receiving model-based support, including ACAM and Alaska Plan companies, be permitted to opt voluntarily into rules substantially the same as those governing the provision of BDS by price cap carriers.
