Editorial #59-FCC Notice of Inquiry (NOI)-Comments by VRS Companies, State Entities and Consumer Organizations

August 18th was the deadline for everyone to submit comments on the Notice of Inquiry that was issued on June 28th. All the major VRS companies responded. Dr. Z has provided links to the actual comments each has submitted to the FCC along with consumer organizations and state entities.

Be aware that most of the documents are 40-50 pages in length, some more–some less so it’s heavy reading right there. A lot of the comments are important and Dr. Z took the time to skim through all of these documents and it was interesting to note that Sorenson’s position differed from most of the other company’s comments when it came to tiered rates and reverse auctions.
