NASUCA Passes Resolution Urging Continuing COLR Obligations, Open Internet Policies

National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates members passed a resolution at NASUCA's annual meeting last month in San Francisco that urges federal and state regulators to ensure the continuation of carrier of last resort obligations “regardless of the facilities or transmission used to provide service” and to require network owners to “implement an open Internet,” the group said. The NASUCA resolution also urges regulators to require network owners to prohibit discrimination and blocking, support fiber unbundling and reasonable rates for mobile data roaming.
