SUMMARY: This document is a summary 

of the Notice of Inquiry that was 

adopted by the Commission. The Notice 

of Inquiry seeks comment on ways to

U.S.-international telecommunications 

market: the use of circuit blockages or 

disruptions by foreign carriers as a way 

to compel U.S. carriers to agree to 

settlement rate increases. The record 

developed by this Notice on Inquiry 

would assist the Commission in 

determining whether to propose 

changes to current Commission policy 

and procedure in order to ensure that 

U.S. consumers benefit from 

competitive prices as they make 

international calls.

Summary of the Notice of Inquiry 

On August 5, 2005, the Commission 

adopted a Notice of Inquiry on 

Modifying the Commission’s Process to 

Avert Harm to U.S. Competition and 

U.S. Customers Caused by 

Anticompetitive Conduct. By this 

Notice of Inquiry, the Commission seeks 

to develop a record on ways to improve 

the process available to the Commission 

to protect U.S. consumers from the 

effect of anticompetitive conduct by 

foreign carriers and on alternative 

approaches the Commission may take to 

avert circuit disruptions or blockages. 

In particular, this Notice of Inquiry 

seeks comment on the following issues: 

(1) What constitutes a circuit disruption 

or blockage that would trigger possible 

Commission action; (2) what should be 

the appropriate length of the pleading 

cycle associated with any action the 

Commission may take in response to 

reports of anticompetitive behavior on 

the part of foreign carriers; (3) whether 

the Commission should propose 

procedures for taking interim measures 

when U.S. carriers notify the 

Commission that foreign carriers have 

threatened to disrupt circuits; (4) how 

should the Commission assess the 

immediacy of such threats, and how 

should it coordinate any action with the 

appropriate U.S. government agencies; 

(5) what showing is required of U.S. 

carriers to demonstrate that the public 

interest will be served by Commission 

intervention, and what is the 

appropriate form of relief; (6) whether 

U.S. carriers are passing through 

settlement rate reductions to U.S. 

consumers; and (7) whether it is 

appropriate for U.S. ratepayers to 

subsidize universal service in other 

countries. 

The Commission encourages all 

interested parties to respond to the 

questions and requests set forth in the 

Notice of Inquiry.

47 U.S.C. 151, 4(i), 201–205, 208, 211,
