Direct Access to Numbers for Interconnected VoIP Providers:
The Commission will consider a Report and Order that will facilitate innovative technologies and services by establishing a process to authorize interconnected VoIP providers to obtain telephone numbers directly from the Numbering Administrators, rather than through intermediaries.
Lifeline Reform and Modernization:
In order to comprehensively restructure and modernize the Lifeline program to efficiently and effectively connect low-income Americans to broadband, strengthen program oversight and administration, and take additional measures to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse, the Commission will consider a Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Order on Reconsideration, Second Report and Order, and Memorandum Opinion and Order.
Protecting Consumers Against Unwanted Robocalls:
The Commission will consider a Declaratory Ruling and Order reaffirming the Telephone Consumer Protection Act’s protections against unwanted robocalls, encouraging pro-consumer uses of robocall technology, and responding to a number of requests for clarity from businesses and other callers.
Expanding the Economic and Innovation Opportunities of Spectrum Through Incentive Auctions:
The Commission will consider a Second Order on Reconsideration that resolves petitions for reconsideration of the Commission’s Order adopting 3 rules to implement the Broadcast Television Spectrum Incentive Auction, providing parties with additional certainty ahead of the auction.
