The FCC Wireless Bureau said it’s extending from Aug. 11 to Aug. 29 the deadline for reply comments on a T-Mobile petition seeking greater clarity in the commission’s data roaming rules (CD May 28 p9). T-Mobile is asking for a declaratory ruling containing guidance and “predictable” enforcement criteria for determining whether the terms of data roaming agreements meet the “commercially reasonable” standard adopted by the commission in its 2011 data roaming order. Blooston Rural Carriers, NTCA and the Rural Wireless Association had sought an extension until Aug. 25, citing a “significant number of rural mobile wireless carriers that have been affected by the issues addressed in T-Mobile’s petition,” the bureau said Wednesday (http://bit.ly/1jVM8Uz). The bureau said there’s “good cause to grant a short extension of time,” and T-Mobile has agreed to the extension.
