NARUC Telecom Committee Chairman Chris Nelson repeated NARUC’s previously stated positions on the FCC’s open docket (12-375) on inmate calling services during a meeting last week with FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn and Clyburn aide Rebekah Goodheart while all three were at the NARUC meeting in Dallas, NARUC said in a filing posted Tuesday. NARUC generally opposes “arguments that would expand the FCC’s jurisdiction to intrastate toll rates or unnecessarily supplant existing State Public Service Commission decisions over this service,” NARUC said. The group said the FCC’s original NPRM acknowledges that intrastate ISC rates are “set by the States” (http://bit.ly/1nyuK9o).
