| 2013-08527 | Rural Call Completion | Proposed Rule | The Federal Communications Commission proposes to adopt rules requiring facilities-based originating long distance providers to record and retain data on call completion rates to rural areas, and to report this data to the Commission on a quarterly basis. We propose to reduce or eliminate a provider's retention and reporting obligations if that provider certifies that it qualifies for one of two proposed safe harbor provisions. We also propose to prohibit both originating and intermediate providers from causing audible ringing to be sent to the caller before the terminating provider has signaled that the called party is being alerted. These changes will allow the Commission to more effectively determine the causes of call completion problems to rural areas and take action to cure them, and will also prevent consumer confusion caused by the injection of false ringtones before the called party has been alerted. | 2013-04-12 | 2013 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/04/12/2013-08527/rural-call-completion | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-04-12/pdf/2013-08527.pdf | Federal Communications Commission | 161 | The Federal Communications Commission proposes to adopt rules requiring facilities-based originating long distance providers to record and retain data on call completion rates to rural areas, and to report this data to the Commission on a quarterly... |
