Puerto Rico Telephone Co.’s application to discontinue interconnected VoIP services in Puerto Rico wasn’t automatically granted by the FCC, said the Wireline Bureau in a public notice Thursday (http://bit.ly/LiRcSm). The commission had received 10 comments in opposition to the proposed discontinuance, including one from the Telecommunications Regulatory Board of Puerto Rico. “Because the comments filed by customers and the Puerto Rico Board require further analysis to determine whether the Applicant’s proposed discontinuance would serve the public interest, PRTC is notified by this public notice that its application to discontinue its PhoneMax service will not be granted automatically,” said the bureau. The docket is WC 13-298.
