WASHINGTON-The Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association filed comments at the Federal Communications Commission requesting a national calling party pays plan be implemented.
Some sort of national framework must exist before wireless carriers can implement calling party pays, and the trade group wants the FCC to provide that. CTIA also wants the FCC to adopt service rules for CPP by establishing uniform national consumer protection measures and a national notification policy ensuring consumers are informed of the billing procedure.
Without such measures, CTIA said states will adopt different notification systems, which would confuse consumers.
