Eshoo Sees 'Practical Path Forward' in Verizon/Incompas BDS Filing

House Communications Subcommittee ranking member Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., lauded the joint filing by Verizon and Incompas in the FCC business data services proceeding. Replies were due Tuesday (see 1608090053). The filing “demonstrates that there is a practical path forward to bring competition to the business data services market,” she said in a statement. “This proceeding has languished at the FCC for far too long, and now that key industry stakeholders have come together, it’s time for the FCC to take advantage of the opportunity it has to finally bring business data services reform across the finish line.” She and other House Democrats sent the agency a letter on the topic earlier this month (see 1608050050).
