INCOMPAS Files Replies in USTelecom Nondominance Petition

On March 7, INCOMPAS filed reply comments in a proceeding in which the FCC sought to refresh the record on a pending USTelecom petition from 2013 that requested a nondominance finding on ILECs' switched access services.

INCOMPAS resubmitted its original opposition and urged the Commission to carefully consider recent comments submitted by Sprint and General Communications Inc., which state that USTelecom has failed to provide sufficient evidence that its members no longer maintain their ILEC dominance in the switched access market. Additionally, INCOMPAS noted, USTelecom's reliance upon "national competition" in the residential market is insufficient to grant it the broad relief it seeks.
