Razorsight Sponsors Informative Webinar On Access Reform
Industry Veteran Delivers Free, Educational Webinar Discussing Impact of Pending FCC Changes On Network Costs
FAIRFAX, VA - November 24, 2009 - Razorsight Corporation, the market-leading provider of on-demand financial business intelligence and analytics solutions for Communications Service Providers (CSPs) today announced the availability of an informative webinar delivering a concise examination of the issues surrounding pending FCC changes and their impact on network costs. The webinar is organized by Razorsight partner CCMI, and sponsored by Razorsight.
Across the board, stakeholders in the industry agree the current access charge regime is hopelessly out of step with the technological and competitive changes that have transformed the industry. Yet, despite years of proceedings and discussions, there has been no substantive action by the FCC. Now, with a newly constituted FCC in place and economic and technical pressures greater than ever before, industry insiders agree that the FCC will act. The critical questions now are: how soon will the FCC act; how profound will the changes be; and how quickly will they be put in place. The answers to these questions are the driving factors in network costs. CSPs must be prepared to take action when access charge reforms are finally put into place.
Industry veteran Andy Regitsky breaks down this issue - fundamental to the economics of every carrier and service provider - and provides a concise examination of:
- The underlying flaws in the current system, many which lead to harmful (and expensive) rate arbitrage
- The critical link between access charge reform and the Universal Service Fund
- The industry access charge reform proposals now before the FCC
- The changes in the access cost structure and rate elements - like unified termination rates, alternative costing methodologies, changes to originating access and more
- The length and pace of transition plans
