2006 Biennial Review of Telecommunications Regulations

2006 BIENNIAL REVIEW OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS REGULATIONS
[SOURCE: Federal Communications Commission]
On Tuesday, the Federal Communications Commission staff released the 2006 Biennial Review Reports. Federal law requires the Commission to review, every other year, regulations issued under the Communications Act that apply to the operations or activities of any provider of telecommunications service and determine whether such regulation "is no longer necessary in the public interest as the result of meaningful economic competition between providers of such [telecommunications] service." The staff makes recommendations to open proceedings to consider modifying or repealing certain rules and notes that numerous pending proceedings address rules that are subject to biennial review requirements, and recommends that the Commission consider in those proceedings whether the rules are necessary in the public interest, and, if not, to modify or repeal any rule so that it is in the public interest.
