Risk to Consumers, Public Safety and National Security

Neustar

Critical telecommunications database could be transitioned under FCC process

Everybody from consumers, to emergency response, law enforcement and national security agencies, to state regulators, to carriers themselves rely on a routing database established as a result of the Telecom Act of 1996. This database, called the Number Portability Administration Center (NPAC), is a critical part of our national infrastructure.

A poorly planned transition of the data and technology in the NPAC could result in the service failing, consumers not being able to keep their phone numbers when they change service providers, and service providers not able to compete on a level playing field.

This Strategic Solutions Series examines some of the specific concerns with the NPAC vendor selection process and what the potential transition has to do with neutrality, transparency, cost, transition, and timeline.
