JSI Separations and Access Seminar

The FCC's National Broadband Plan promises a paradigm shift in the PSTN and traditional telecom operations.  Advances in technology and shifts in universal service objectives will lead to changes in your network that not only affect how you provision services, but also significantly threaten your settlements and revenue streams as well.  Properly allocating costs and maximizing cost recovery, especially with the current pressures on your revenue streams, is critical to continued success.

JSI's 2010 Separations and Access Seminar will feature even more emphasis on responding to today's broadband network and services, in addition to its usual assessment of cost settlements, regulated and non-regulated allocations, jurisdictional categorizations, access procedures, and intercarrier compensation.

Seminar Topics:

• Separations concepts and principles
• Settlements and compensation, sources of revenue
• Accounts affecting the separations process:
  • Part 32, USoA; Part 64; regulated / non-regulated allocations
• FCC-OIG audits
• Working loops and circuits
  • Access line counts, USF loops, special-access counts
• Traffic allocation factors
• Cable and wire facilities
  • Category assignments, Part 36 allocation, review of the study process
• Central office equipment
• Broadband
  • Potential policy shifts
  • Current and proposed settlements
• Other investments, reserves and deferrals
• Operating expenses and taxes
• Part 69 - access charges
  • Investment and operating expense assignments
• Revenue requirement development
  • Application of rate-of-return, taxes, and NECA settlements process
• Universal service
  • Current and proposed policy shifts; threats to high-cost fund
• Emerging trends and issues

All attendees will receive a seminar binder.  The seminar includes lecture, group discussion, and sample separations problems.  Everyone is encouraged to participate.

The seminar will be held in the Nashville Convention Center, which is adjacent to the hotel, and will begin at 8:30 a.m. each day, and conclude by 5:00 p.m. on days one and two, and by noon on day three.  Lunch will be provided the first two days, as well as refreshments throughout the session.
