NAPM Still Negotiating New LNP Administrator Contract With Iconectiv

North American Portability Management continues to negotiate with iconectiv on a local number portability administrator contact, NAPM's counsel said in a filing posted Thursday in docket 95-116 on the FCC-ordered transition to a new LNP administrator. NAPM had expected to deliver a new contract to the commission for review in September (see 1509030011), but the parties continue to "meet regularly, and conduct conference calls between meetings, in order to expedite negotiation of the terms and conditions," the NAPM monthly status report said. The FCC gave Ericsson's Telcordia (which does business as iconectiv) the conditional right to be the next LNP administrator, replacing incumbent Neustar. NAPM said it intends to begin negotiating a transition service agreement with Neustar in mid-October.
