Issue 748: Assess Impacts on Numbering Resources and
Numbering Administration with Transition from Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN) to Internet Protocol (IP)
• INC has drafted a response to the FCC regarding the impacts of
large-scale rate center consolidation during the transition from
PSTN to IP.
• Outlined positive and negative impacts of large-scale rate center
consolidation
• Documented impacts to carriers networks and systems
• Identified that regulatory changes would be necessary
• Concluded that, given the complexities related to large-scale rate
center consolidation, it is premature to develop a plan for
implementation. However, as carriers’ network architecture and the
market drives the need for such consolidation, the industry and
regulators should work collaboratively to develop a plan.

Issue 762: CO codes assigned/transferred only
to providers who own switching facilities
• When a Central Office (CO) code is assigned and the Part 1 has an
invalid Switching Entity or Point of Interconnection, the CO code
cannot be built in iconectiv's Business Integrated Routing & Rating
Database System (BIRRDS). This can result in:
• Delays that affect other service providers with blocks from that code.
• More red blocks in the pool.
• Stranded numbers if there is no regulatory direction to reclaim the code.
• INC has modified the guidelines to expand verification that the
switching ID/POI is valid for an NPA-NXX assignment and is built in
BIRRDS.
