FCC Seeks Comment on Solen/NexTalk IP-CTS Application

The FCC Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau on Friday sought comment on the application of Solen Ventures and NexTalk for conditional certification as providers of IP-captioned telephone service (IP CTS). Solen acquired majority ownership and control of NexTalk in December, the bureau noted. The companies recently asked the FCC to grant conditional certification, allowing NexTalk to remain eligible for compensation from the interstate telecommunications relay service fund (see 2412310047). Comments are due Feb. 7, replies Feb. 18, in docket 03-123.
