NCIC Communications Lobbies Rosenworcel Aides on Relay Petition

NCIC Communications urged the FCC to act on its pending petition that partially waives rules requiring correctional facilities to deploy certain forms of advanced telecom relay services (see 2311220052). The company said in a meeting with aides to FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel that "unique security, technical, and regulatory issues" continue to delay deployment of such services, according to an ex parte filing posted Tuesday in docket 23-62. In addition, the agency should expand its authority to include non-incarcerated people's communications services video visitation providers, NCIC argued.
