AT&T Asks for 3-Year Extension of Cuba Service Agreement

AT&T wants a three-year extension of its waiver of the benchmark rate for telecom traffic between the U.S. and Cuba. In an FCC docket 10-95 posting Tuesday, it said the extension would renew just the commercial relationship between it and Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba (ETECSA). It said it hasn't negotiated a reduction in termination rates with ETECSA, but progress is being made.
