Calling Party Pays Service Option in the Commercial Mobile Radio Services

Riepilogo

The Commission adopts a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) in this proceeding, seeking comment to establish a record Calling Party Pays (CPP), a service currently offered by some Commercial Radio Service (CMRS) providers. The goal of this proceeding is to determine whether the wider availability of CPP would enable CMRS providers to more readily compete with wireline services provided by Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) and to determine whether there are any actions that the Commission could take to promote the wider availability of CPP for CMRS providers. The purpose of this inquiry is to explore means of encouraging and facilitating competition in the local exchange telephone market.
