California PUC Weighs In on LNPA Selection

California PUC staff discussed the Local Number Portability Administration (LNPA) selection during a conference call with FCC Wireline Bureau staffers Thursday, the CPUC said in an ex parte filing Monday. Neustar and Telcordia have been battling for LNPA selection (see 1412030046). The call focused on LNPA services the CPUC “considers critical to 911 operations, and might impact 911 and public safety,” the CPUC said. The call also focused on whether the shortened LNPA transition “poses any special challenges” for the selected vendor, the CPUC said.
