The FCC Wireless Bureau rejected a petition by Blanca Telephone asking the agency to find that the agency erred in not imposing a uniform time limit or “shot clock” on all data roaming negotiations as part of its 2011 data roaming order (CD April 8/11 p1). Blanca “presents no material error or omission in the Commission’s Data Roaming Order or any additional new facts warranting reconsideration,” the bureau said Wednesday (http://bit.ly/1wyi9nP). A decision to consider requests for time limits on a “case-by-case basis” provides “appropriate flexibility” in negotiations “while allowing parties to seek Commission intervention if a negotiating partner unduly delays a particular negotiation.”
