The FCC Will Tackle Old-School Communication Network Policies With A Brand New Task Force

The FCC has today announced a new Task Force to deal with the difficult task of creating policy for a next-generation communications network based on an IP infrastructure, as opposed to the copper-line POTS (plain old telephone service) network which has been in place since the late 19th century. The Task Force is part of the National Broadband Plan, passed in 2010, which aims to help the country transition to next-generation services as POTS becomes less and less relevant. The Taks Force will coordinate efforts on IP interconnection and the reliability and resiliency of the next-gen networks, "with a particular focus on voice services."
