The Business Data Services Revolution
All About the FCC Order to Remake the Market
In early May, the full text of the FCC’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FCC Docket 16-54) was released and it’s a bombshell that turns the entire market for high capacity dedicated data services on its head!
Consider the following:
- Every U.S. market to be “tested” to determine how competitive it is…and how services should be regulated.
- Price cap regulation re-imposed on ILEC services in markets fond to be non-competitive.
- All LEC special access services to be relieved of any tariff filing requirements.
- Ethernet service (where prices are now unregulated) to have “benchmark” prices established.
- Business data services offered by cable companies subject to regulation.
- And that just the short list of watershed changes proposed by the FCC for this multi-billion dollar market!
Each and every provision raises tough, thorny questions…how is competiveness determined, and by who…absent tariffs, how will service be regulated…is there such a thing a true “benchmark” for Ethernet…how will the cable industry react to new regulations…and dozens more raised by the FCC’s massive 280 page Order.
