The Telecommunications Industry Association joined all other recent commenters (CD June 25 p16) in backing a Voice Communication Exchange Committee request that the FCC issue a notice of inquiry on migrating to HD voice as part of the IP transition. As that committee noted, migrating to HD voice “would accomplish many of the same benefits -- and poses many of the same challenges” -- “as the migration to HDTV overseen effectively by the Commission,” said a TIA comment posted Tuesday in docket 13-5 (http://bit.ly/1jOg3Is). “Using the HDTV transition as a model the Commission could include the migration to HD voice as a part of the IP transition, which would allow the Commission to address the collective technical challenges confronting the industry, while leveraging the extensive public awareness of the transition to HDTV."
