FCC Seeks Comment On Whether Rules Concerning Disruptions To Communications Should Apply To Broadband Internet Service Providers And Interconnected Voice Over Internet Protocol Service Providers Docket . Comments Due Aug 2; Replies Due Aug 16. Comments can be filed at FCC ECFS. Learn about FCC Process.

"Communications services delivered to end users over broadband technologies have grown in importance and now carry some of our most vital communications. Today, every sector of our Nation's economy, including the financial market, operations of most enterprises, and all levels of government, rely on broadband and Internet Protocol (IP) for communications. Americans are increasingly relying on broadband and IP-based technologies as substitutes for, or complements to, communications services provided by older, conventional communications technologies. However, the Commission's current rules regarding reporting of disruptions to communications services are limited to voice and/or paging communications over wireline, wireless, cable and satellite communications services. The current rules do not apply to disruptions of interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) or to broadband Internet services. The National Broadband Plan (NBP) recommended that the Commission initiate a proceeding to extend the Part 4 outage reporting rules to broadband Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and to interconnected VoIP service providers. The NBP reasoned that such reports would allow the Commission, other federal agencies and, as appropriate, service providers to analyze information on outages affecting IP-based networks. The NBP also suggested that gathering this information would help prevent future outages and ensure a better response to actual outages.

"In advance of a potential Commission proceeding [this is not an NPRM], the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau ("PSHSB" or Bureau") seeks comment and information on a variety of issues related to whether, and if so how, the Commission should expand its Part 4 rules so that they also apply to interconnected VoIP service providers and broadband ISPs. The Bureau wishes to better understand the issues related to these subject areas and anticipates using the data and other information gathered in response to this Public Notice to possibly prepare a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for full Commission consideration and/or to recommend other action, as appropriate.
