Verizon, Incompas propose new special access regime

2016-04-08 10:12:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Verizon announced an agreement with the competitive operators association Incompas on a proposal for regulating so-called special access services. The FCC has been working on proposals for regulating these business services following the transition to IP networks. Alternative operators rely on access to incumbent (ILEC) operator networks for providing the services. In a letter to the FCC, Verizon said its proposal would result in a technology-neutral policy framework for all dedicated services, including TDM and Ethernet services. It wants the framework extended to all providers of such services - including cable operators, which it says have been taking market share in this area. Ex ante regulation, including price regulation, would be applied in relevant markets that are insufficiently competitive. In markets showing competition, the FCC would forebear from regulation and allow market forces to determine prices.
