TX-2006-0444 | Possible Amendment to Enhanced
Record Exchange (ERE) Rule
|
On May 23, 2006, in Case No. TE-2006-0053, the Commission determined that 4 CSR 240-29.040(4) does not require the Calling Party Number ("CPN") for wireless calls to be included in Category 11 billing records. On May 24, the Commission opened this case to determine whether an amendment to 4 CSR 240-29.040 to require wireless CPN to be included in Category 11 billing records or other records exchanged between telecommunication carriers is necessary. The Commission's notice opening case specifically sought comment and information on the following questions:
- Why would a terminating carrier need CPN for wireless calls in the Category 11 records if the carrier receives CPN contemporaneous with the call?
- Is it possible for a terminating carrier to reconfigure its equipment to collect the CPN in lieu of receiving it in a Category 11 record? If so, at what cost?
- How much revenue have terminating carriers lost because wireless CPN has not been included in the Category 11 records? How was that revenue number calculated? What percentage of overall revenue is that "lost" revenue number?
- Why are wireless calls treated differently from wireline calls in relation to CPN in the Category 11 records?
- What is the estimated cost to the transiting carrier to reconfigure its equipment to capture a wireless CPN for the Category 11 records?
- What is the estimated time frame within which such reconfiguration is practicable?
On July 7, 2006, comments were filed by AT&T, CenturyTel, and the small Missouri incumbent local exchange companies (ILECs).
