Meeting notes

 

·         AI add meeting information into email rather than send people to the website.

·         Comment from John – telecordia…  NPANXXX’s…  large percentage marked as open. 

Concern about the volume on the network.  Have to think of the wireless switches…  Volume will be 4X what it is today.

FCC gives the state commissions more power to do more, what Jim is leading up to is turning up the code in the NPAC.  Some carriers open codes in swtiches, start query’s.  Some do very little?

 

Provision ss7 network based on the LERG, will fail if you don’t do it in the LERG and NPAC. 

 

Advantage of opening the codes in the networks….  It goes nationwide, if you are going to be going in a smaller region.  Just open smaller code.

 

You need to open the first NPANXXX in the NPAC, 5 day delay

 

·         Wireline put a 5 day notification on the NPAC notification.  First port on first number, cannot be the same date…  needs to be 5 day’s out

 

·         Gustavo – will validate the requirements with NPAC – Not a requirement - NPC

 

NPANXXX’s being opened in the wrong region….  Change control request out there but not being validated yet.

 

Three parts – inter company testing – are you going to open codes?

Intra- Company

 

·         For every port you have your information open in…..  going to be querying against the block you opened. 

 

Do it manually if you are doing Inter Port.(inside company testing)

 

Suggesting INTER COMPANY do it internal

 

INTER CARRIER, NPA will need to be released….

 

60 days in advance
