FGA Issue
- Illinois requirements incorrectly state that FGA is not distance sensitive
- Calls coming through a FGA dialtone office to an end user
- Calling number is FGA #, Called Number is EU #. (Call Code 132)
- Call from EU to FGA # create 131 call code, structure code 79. Calling number is 000’s, Called number is FGA #. Because you don’t know the originating #, the MOU are spread across all of the end offices sub-tending the FGA dialtone office.
- Need LRN of FGA line appended to 131 record.
- When a 132 generates a call and it is ported-in, we should have an originating LNP module.
- We need to ensure that we are getting LNP modules when the end users are ported. The FGA line can also be ported, but this is less likely.
- Some regions will not allow porting of FGA lines. - Not big revenue.
- FGA calls local #, access MOU charges still apply.
T1 DETAILS
- Have to publish projected schedule for the quarter in advance including conference calls, face to face meetings, dates, MML’s, etc.
- We may need to attend the T1 meeting in Dallas, the week of 11/17/97 if we are chartered by then.
- Dave or Debi will get additional info out to the team as we receive it.
ISSUES WORK
- The National Delta Issues document - We split into 5 groups and assigned the issues out to these groups. Each team’s goal is to write official requirements for each issue that can be turned over to T1.
NORTEL REPORTING PROCEDURES
Companies should contact Lee Davis (919 905-5545-) leed@nortel.ca. or Bill Johnson (919) 905-3299 wjohnson@nortel.ca. They will assign an SR number if they determine that it is a problem. Make sure that your company officially reports any issues to the switch vendors. The NORTEL reps were not aware of most of the St. Louis issues.
WIRELESS to WIRELINE
- Is JIP used for other purposes by PCS companies? Are they sending the actual cellular phone number in the JIP when a customer is roaming?
- Wireless companies felt that they were not included in the initial LNP requirements effort. They may have unique needs, or different solutions for some of the issues that have been raised.
- Should there be a separate T1 subcommittee to address wireless LNP issues?
- There is concern that we need to work together. Wireless should not develop requirements in a vacuum, especially if there will be porting between wireless and wireline.
- FCC order 127 Page 74 - Wireless providers need to query LNP database to deliver calls to correct switch by end of 1998. Also mandated to do Service Provider portability by 6/99.
