Refer iconectiv's LNPA Request to NANC: Somos

Refer iconectiv's request to confirm it will still meet the local number portability administrator neutrality requirements once parent company Ericsson's pending acquisition of Vonage closes to the North American numbering council, said Somos in comments posted Tuesday in docket 95-116 (see 2201240030). The ownership structure of iconectiv has "materially changed" since it was selected as the local number portability administrator, Somos said, and its request "threatens to push the commission's exceptions to its codified neutrality obligations into dangerous territory." NANC is "well positioned" to consider how to apply its neutrality criteria and provide a formal recommendation, Somos said.
