LNPA WG Should Be Forum, States Commissions Say

Idaho, Maine and Nebraska telecom commissions support North American Portability Management's intent to "engage the North American Numbering Council as a mechanism through which industry stakeholders, including small providers and state regulators, can participate and ensure that their concerns have been adequately addressed," said the Joint State Commissions in comments to the FCC in docket 07-149. The Joint States Commissions recommended that the Local Number Portability Administration Working Group be the forum for the industry stakeholders to raise technical concerns regarding the expected transition between Neustar and Telcordia.
