Making Sense of FCC Access Rules and Regulations

$tizing telecommunications whether IP or not can be tough in an age where government regulation stifles growth, innovation, and taxes us to death. 

Have you and/or your accounting team gone nuts over things to do with Federal Excise, State Communications Tax, 499 USAC fees, and on and on and on?
So, let's make sense out of it! CCMI's Understanding Telco Access & Interconnection Conference scheduled for October 20 - 21, 2008 is a great way to do that.

- FCC attempts to completely rework access rules and regulations... including USF
- How intercarrier compensation works for local service 

(Now, a bit off the subject... this conference is focusing on telecommunications in the USA. Check out also what's happening on the other side of the world such as the government telephony monopoly of Etisalat in UAE, the beginning of growth of telephony in Pakistan (check out Pakistan Telecom Grid group), and the recent very positive telecommunications moves made by trend-setting India of legalizing VoIP and reducing incoming call charges against APC.)
