The IP transition must prioritize “enduring values” including consumer protection; affordable, high-quality service; promotion of competition; and consumer education, the American Association of Retired Persons told FCC officials Dec. 16, according to an ex parte filing released Thursday (http://bit.ly/1hYNDMO). Access to emergency services, carrier-of-last-resort obligations and universal services policies remain important as well, AARP said. Any IP transition “experiments” should be “conducted in an environment of informed consent for the subjects of the experiments, including the full awareness of potential challenges, length of the experiment and the resources available should problems arise,” AARP said.
