2008 Biennial Review of Telecommunications Regulations

The FCC is in the process of conducting its comprehensive 2008 biennial review of telecommunications regulations. The FCC is required to: 1) review biennially its regulations "that apply to the operations or activities of any provider of telecommunications service," and 2) "determine whether any such regulation is no longer necessary in the public interest as the result of meaningful economic competition between providers of such service." The Commission is directed to repeal or modify any such regulations that it finds are no longer in the public interest. The FCC is asking for suggestions from the public as to what rules should be modified or repealed as part of the 2008 biennial review. Interested parties may file comments on or before October 6, 2008 and reply comments on or before October 27, 2008.
