Carriers Demand FCC to Set Network Price Caps
In a move to have a voice in order to actualize their demand, some
mobile carriers including Sprint, T-Mobile and U.S. Cellular have come
together to ask the Federal Communications Commission to set price
caps for data and voice network connections. These companies blame
declines in capital expenditures on higher access rates and urged the
FCC to consider their plight.
According to Sprint, one-third of its costs for each cellular tower is
invested in the transfer fees. Similarly, AT&T filed comments to the
regulator stating that Sprint is blaming its “declining capital
expenditures” on access rates.
The coalition stated that AT&T and Verizon own 80-90 percent of the
market that connects the wireless networks to the Internet. It is
hoped that FCC would soon look into issue and a positive action would
be taken to right this.
