FCC MIA on Call Home Act proceeding?

FCC MIA ON CALL HOME ACT PROCEEDING?
[SOURCE: Lasar's Letter on the FCC, AUTHOR: Matthew Lasar]
Congress passed the Call Home Act in December of 2006: "A bill to direct the Federal Communications Commission to make efforts to reduce telephone rates for Armed Forces personnel deployed overseas." The FCC initially followed through on the mandate by permitting phone companies not to charge Universal Service Fund (USF) and Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) tolls on Armed Forces personnel collect calls, or those made with pre- and post-paid calling cards. The Commission also set up an e-mail address for soldiers and their families to use to tell the FCC how much they pay for cell phone and broadband services in Iraq and elsewhere: CallHomeAct@fcc.gov. As reported in September, the agency got an earful from the wives of servicemen. They complained about exorbitant calling card costs (mostly AT&T cards) and sporadic service. In addition, several telecom specialists complained that the USF exemption was unworkable. On January 18, 2007, the FCC declared, "We intend to issue shortly a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to propose and seek comment on additional steps the Commission might take to further implement the Call Home Act and thus further reduce the cost to military personnel of calling home." But one year later, no proceeding has been announced.
