NAD Files Comments on 10-Digit Numbering System
By advocacy | April 14, 2008
The NAD worked closely with TDI and other consumer groups to file comments updating the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) record about adopting a system to assign real telephone 10-digit numbers for users of IP-based relay services (VRS, IP Relay, and IP Captioned Telephone Service). Click here to read the comments that were filed on April 8, 2008.
The Consumer Groups said that any 10-digit numbering system adopted by the FCC should be based on certain principles related to the following:
- Third Party Number Administration
- Ease of Obtaining Numbers
- Privacy of Call Data
- Network Security
- Network Interoperability
- Equipment Interoperability
- Backward Compatibility
- Number Portability
- Location and Number Registration
- Prioritization of 911 Calls
- Consumer Outreach and Education
The NAD and other consumer groups urged the FCC to move forward with the adoption of rules to implement a 10-digit numbering system linked to the North American Numbering Plan and automatic 911 emergency call routing for users of IP-based relay services.
The NAD looks forward to reviewing the various numbering proposals and comments recently submitted. To read those comments:
