NTC proposes new VoIP rules to ease access requirements
2007-11-01
In an interview, NTC Deputy Commissioner Jorge Sarmiento said the proposed rules would tackle easing the requirements for interconnection agreements that VoIP providers are required to enter into before offering their services.
The current rules require would-be VoIP providers to negotiate separate interconnection agreements with each telephone network.
"Service providers have complained that they had difficulty getting interconnection agreements," Sarmiento said.
Under the proposed new rules, only a single interconnection agreement with a telephone network would be required of VoIP providers. In lieu of separate agreements with other telephone networks, "routing" charges would be paid by the VoIP provider to course calls made to other telephone networks through the network with which the VoIP provider has an interconnection agreement.
Limits would be set on the rates that could be levied as routing charges. Also, VoIP calls routed through a "broadband connection" would not be covered by any access charges under the proposed new rules, Sarmiento said.
The NTC executive said the agency will hold a public hearing on the additional rules in November.
Since the agency deregulated VoIP services in the country, about 20 service providers have applied with the NTC, he added.
