INTRODUCTION 1. By this Memorandum Opinion and Order, we seek to protect U.S. consumers from the effects of anticompetitive behavior and to promote competitive, cost-based termination rates on the U.S.-Pakistan route. We find that recent and ongoing actions by certain Pakistani long distance international carriers (Pakistani LDI carriers) to set rate floors over previously negotiated rates with U.S. carriers for termination of international telephone calls to Pakistan are anticompetitive and require action to protect U.S. consumers in accordance with Federal Communications Commission policy and precedent. Their continuation would result in a substantial increase in the cost of and repress demand for calling Pakistan. We therefore grant the petition filed by Vonage Holdings Corp. (Vonage), modified as recommended by AT&T, Inc. (AT&T), and order all U.S. carriers with Commission authorizations permitting the provision of facilities-based international switched voice services on the U.S.-Pakistan route to suspend immediately all U.S. carrier payments to Pakistani LDI carriers for termination services that are in excess of the rates that were in effect immediately prior to the rate increase on or around October 1, 2012. II. BACKGROUND 2. Vonage is a provider of international communications services from the United States using third party U.S.

  • Ngn in Pakistan
    Pakistan Telecommunication Authority NGN IN PAKISTAN Challenges During Migration Report 2010 NGN Architecture 2010 Next Generation Networks can be viewed as a ―communication network that allows unfettered access to all communication products and services, irrespective of the service provider or network connection. Basically the boom in the services of wired as well as wireless technologies, both in narrowband as well as broadband environments has created the demand for seamless connectivity between the networks as well as services. This has given rise to a need for an unwired network to support voice, data and video (triple play) over a common network, which is typically called Next Generation Network. In an NGN environment, it is expected that the consumers will be able to access their voice, data, video and new emerging media applications over a single network.At the same time, the provided service functions are independent from the basic transmission media. All the services are based on the Internet Protocol (IP). The advantage of IP networks is their flexibility and the simple integration of new applications. 1. NGN Worldwide: iLocus published in its 11th annual VoIP industry report in April, 2010, the industry’s first estimates related to the extent to which world’s voice network has migrated to NGN/softswitch based technology.
