ATIS Tackles Rural Call Completion
When customers with high terminating access charges in rural areas began to report that incoming callers were unable to reach them, the communications industry quickly responded. Rural call completion was then recognized to not only be a rural service provider issue, but one that concerns the broader industry. ATIS NGIIF members have collaborated with other industry communications providers who serve rural areas to seek a solution to this service issue. Providers closely monitored events and traffic flow where rural customers encountered call completion or call termination issues when placing long distance calls. This collaboration resulted in the NGIIF’s call completion handbook and industry contact directories. These documents can be found on NGIIF’s Rural Call Completion website. MORE
