Summary of the Notice of Inquiry 

On October 14, 2004, the Commission 

adopted a Notice of Inquiry on the Effect 

of Foreign Mobile Termination Rates on 

U.S. Customers. By this Notice of 

Inquiry, the Commission seeks to 

develop a record on foreign mobile 

termination rates that will enable the 

Commission to assess properly the 

effects of foreign mobile termination 

rates on U.S. customers and competition 

in the U.S.-international services 

market. 

In the Notice of Inquiry, the 

Commission seeks comment on foreign 

mobile termination rate payment flows 

and the relevant regulatory regimes. The 

Commission seeks input, analyses, and 

comments on the concerns raised by 

parties in the ISP Reform Order, FCC 

04–53, 69 FR 23151, April 28, 2004, and 

on actions taken by foreign national 

regulatory authorities to address mobile 

termination rates within their respective 

jurisdictions. In addition, the 

Commission asks for factual information 

and data on foreign mobile termination 

rates. Finally, the Commission seeks 

comment on the appropriate framework 

by which the Commission can analyze 

whether foreign mobile termination 

rates are unreasonably high. 

The Commission encourages all 

interested parties to respond to the 

questions and requests set forth in the 

Notice of Inquiry.

Pursuant to the authority contained in 

47 U.S.C. Sections 151, 4(i), 201, 202,
