WTA Supports Extension of Separations Freeze

Today, WTA filed comments with the FCC supporting the proposed extension of the existing freeze of Part 36 separations rules for rate-of-return carriers for six more years until December 31, 2030. WTA also asked the FCC to allow RoR carriers to improve the accuracy of their cost allocations while controlling their regulatory compliance costs by again offering a one-time option to RoR carriers to unfreeze and recalculate their category relationships as of a specified date.
