Incredible service advancements and market forces aside, telecom providers must maintain sharp focus on the rules and regulations governing their operations. Following epic legislative and technological change, the FCC and state regulatory agencies have refocused their oversight mandates. In response, JSI offers comprehensive regulatory services, including assessment of regulations and their impact, design and enactment of effective compliance procedures, and assistance with filing waivers. Beyond compliance, JSI’s experienced staff will facilitate client understanding of the broad brush of regulation realm, as well as provide expert testimony and presentation for federal and state proceedings. In addition, JSI assists with local and access tariff preparation, develops appropriate tariff language for all jurisdictions, performs tariff price comparisons, and offers support in preparing and filing required applications.

The devil, it is said, is in the details; for telecom carriers, those details often arise in their networks. Numbering, especially local number portability, along with so many new services have put pressure on companies to improve network operations – voice, data, and video. JSI offers clients assurance in determining how infrastructure variations, advancements in technology, and changing regulatory priorities affect current services as well as future operations. JSI also serves as a reliable resource for the many “numbering” reporting requirements, such as updating information for the routing and rating databases, the responsibilities associated with the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), and such additional features as AOCN services, NPA-NXX code activation reports, and CLLI administration.
