7、 Educational Document: Intercompany Responsibilities in the Telecommunications Industry 1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose This document serves as a reference for a company becoming integrated within certain aspects of the communications industry. It is primarily directed for use by service providers (SPs)
8、as a source for understanding interconnection processes, data requirements, and data exchange processes among carriers related to network and routing resources. 1.2 Scope This document provides an overview of the various processes and procedures relative to general intercompany routing processes tha
9、t an SP should acknowledge and understand. References are made to other sources where additional, more specific, information may be obtained. This document is not inclusive of all processes and procedures that may need to be followed. Variations and/or alternative processes to those documented herei
10、n may exist due to reasons such as interpretation, company-specific requirements, and regulatory variations (e.g., by state). 1.3 Background/Overview of Processes As underscored by the issuance of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, there has been a rapid increase in the number of participants in th
11、e communications industry. The need to develop guidelines, provide information, and provide a means for efficient intercompany integration is a major factor in maintaining an operable network. This document has been updated by the ATIS Next Generation Interconnection Interoperability Forum (NGIIF) a
12、s an aid for new and established providers. In general, most SPs are involved in providing services to a “subscriber” (e.g., business, residence, or wireless). These companies may own, lease, and/or resell various components of the network that support these services. Identification of these network
13、 elements and their interrelationships becomes increasingly important and complicated as the number of providers and services increase. To support an understanding of these elements and processes, this document covers topics such as Interconnection Agreements, Certification to Provide Service, COMMO

However, to differentiate between the incumbent independent telephone companies and the Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) prior to 1984, the independent companies ar
26、e identified by the ILEC category and the BOCS are identified by the RBOC category. 3.1.14 Industry Numbering Committee (INC) A standing ATIS committee that provides an open forum to address and resolve industry-wide issues associated with the planning, administration, allocation, assignment and use

30、nd AT Emergency Preparedness Plans The NGIIF Reference Document recommends that each interconnected company have plans for Emergency Communications between other interconnected companies.

31、toration Operations Planning Considerations. In ATIS-0300026, Part VI, Network Management Guidelines, Clause 8, Emergency Communications, Subsection A, the recommendation is to interconnect via Public Packet Switched Network (PPSN). 18 Red Light Rule To facilitate the implementation of the Debt Coll
32、ection Improvement Act (DCIA), the FCC established the red light rule. The red light rule went into effect on November 1, 2004. The red light rule, found at 47 C.F.R. 1.1910, provides that anyone seeking a benefit from the Commission or one of its components (including the Universal Service Fund, th
33、e Telecommunications Relay Service, or the NANPA) who is delinquent in debt owed to the FCC will be unable to obtain a benefit until there is resolution of that delinquency. Anyone filing an application or seeking a benefit who is discovered to be delinquent in debt owed to the FCC will be notified
34、of the delinquency and be given a specified period to pay the debt in full or make other satisfactory arrangements. Failure to do so will result in dismissal of the application or other request for a benefit. SPs may access the Red Light Display (RLD) system to see if they have outstanding delinquen
35、t debt with the Commission. Access to this system requires your FCC Registration Number (FRN), and an established password. The RLD system is located at . ATIS-0300037 16 19 NECA Tariff FCC No. 4 NECA Tariff FCC No. 4 is the industry resource for ILECs, competitive carriers, and for wireless carrier
36、s wire center and interconnection information used for the ordering, billing, and provisioning of interstate access services in the NANP13. NECAs Tariff FCC No. 4 is a companys legal authority to bill access service charges. NECA Tariff FCC No. 4 is a centralized industry database containing the loc
37、ation and technical capabilities of participants wire centers, which provide interstate access services. This database contains the information to determine the distance between telecommunications facilities, so charges based on distance can be calculated accurately. NECA Tariff FCC No. 4 also speci
38、fies billing percentage agreements when more than one company provides transport services. NECA Tariff FCC No. 4 is a database maintained by NECA. This Tariff is updated and filed monthly with the FCC. Companies have through the 6th calendar day of each month to enter data. The changes are filed wit
39、h the FCC on 15 days notice and become effective the first day of the following month. 20 Telecom Routing Administration (TRA) TRA is a set of Telcordia Technologies, Inc. dba iconectiv services and products surrounding the telecommunications process that centrally collects and disseminates pertinen
40、t routing and rating information within the industry and to other parties who may request the data. The data dissemination process is via various output “products and services”. These are identified in the TRA Catalog of Product and Services located at . TRA, as an industry neutral process, requires
41、 that all companies follow the same available processes as any other company relative to data input and in the ordering and billing for output products and services. 21 Industry Forums, Associations, General Industry Support As in any broad industry arena, the telecommunications industry has numerou
42、s associations, groups, forums, and similar organizations, each of whose membership base reflects representation from many different companies. The areas in telecommunications that these groups may focus on may be wide in scope, covering operations, equipment, standards, etc., or may be specific to
43、a given technology or segment of the industry. Membership in most of these organizations is usually “optional”, may require a company pay dues or similar membership fees, work within defined scopes and mission statements, and follow defined rules in conducting business. Several organizations are an
44、integral component in the development of industry (or industry segment) standards, operating guidelines, and procedures that ultimately are intended for the entire industry or segment. Membership and active participation in appropriate organizations is encouraged to permit companies to have a say in
45、 the development of processes that will impact them and to gain insight into the ever-changing nature of the industry. _ 13NECA Tariff FCC No. 4 applies to companies under the FCCs jurisdiction (United States and the U.S. Territories).
