    Rate Center Consolidation: 
    What You Need to Know Now

     

    THE EVENT: ATIS' Industry Numbering Committee (INC) - recognized as the ICT industry's only open forum for addressing and developing solutions for numbering issues - invites you to a webinar on Large-Scale Rate Center Consolidation (LSRCC).

     

    Wednesday, October 15

    3:30 PM - 4:30 PM EDT

     

     

    BACKGROUND: Large-Scale Rate Center Consolidation (LSRCC) refers to the merging of multiple rate centers requiring more than the minimum 90-day implementation timeframe per the incumbent service provider(s). It is a strategic measure intended to improve the efficiency of numbering resource utilization across the North American Numbering Plan (NANP).

     

    Consolidating rate centers - especially in areas with low population and/or low utilization - can unlock significant efficiencies, allowing service providers to maximize use of assigned numbering resources and delay the introduction of new area codes. LSRCC offers a path to bolster conservation efforts, align regulatory policy with modern usage trends, and improve administrative flexibility in number management. 

     

    THE SESSION WILL DELIVER practical information for regulatory bodies, service providers, and industry vendors to discern whether a rate center consolidation is appropriate and to provide the information needed for successful implementation. This session comes in response to high industry demand for information on this topic.

     

    The discussion will center around implementation of rate center consolidation changes, featuring topics such as:

    ·    Considerations

    ·    Pre-Planning

    ·    Checklists by Role

    ·    Industry Notifications

     

    SPEAKERS:

    ·    Allyson Blevins - ATIS INC Co-Chair, Senior Director of Numbering Policy & Regulatory Affairs at Sinch

    ·    Philip Linse - Director of Public Policy at Lumen
