Senators Call on FCC to Act On Call Completion Issues

摘要

A bipartisan collection of 36 senators sent a letter to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski Dec. 3 asking that the agency speed up efforts to go after carriers that are not completing calls to consumers and business in rural areas. Led by Sen. Tim Johnson (D., S.D.), the lawmakers noted that voice service has become less reliable in rural America as recipients experience calls that fail to complete, are delayed, have poor voice quality, lack correct caller ID information, or are just never connected because some originating providers refuse to connect calls to customers serviced by rural telcos.
