WTA Files Reply Comments on Access Stimulation

On August 3, WTA filed reply comments in response to the FCC’s June 5 NPRM on access stimulation.  In its comments WTA reiterates its support for “effective and narrowly targeted actions to counteract and stop inappropriate schemes to increase access traffic artificially in order to inflate terminating access and transport revenues.”  However, “WTA strongly recommends that the actual and currently existing access stimulation problem be accurately sized and precisely targeted rather than being addressed in a blunderbuss fashion on the basis of unsupported and potentially overstated claims.”
