Even with the rush to broadband, as well as other service advancements and the continued allegiance to market-based competitive choice, telecom providers still must comply with a host of federal and state rules and regulations. As the nation debates telecom and Internet policy, the FCC and state regulatory agencies maintain a sharp focus on 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 in filing required applications and waivers. Beyond compliance, JSI's experienced staff can help you become more pro-active and effective in the increasingly vital area of regulatory advocacy, especially as the FCC pursues the many controversial policies in its USF/ICC reform order. Whether it's expert testimony, comments filed in federal and state proceedings, ex parte presentations, or tariff development, JSI's team of experts is ready to make your case.
The devil, it is said, is in the details; for telecom providers, those details often arise in their networks. Numbering, especially local number portability and porting, along with many new services have put pressure on carriers to improve their network operations - voice, data, and video. JSI offers clients the assurance of determining how infrastructure variations, technology and service advancements, and changing regulatory priorities will affect current and 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, and such additional features as AOCN services, NPA-NXX code activation reports, and CLLI administration.
