March 19, 2001 by Edie Herman|Miscellaneous

FCC voted Fri. to detariff international long distance services and gave carriers 9 months to transition to new arrangement. Action wasn’t surprise because FCC had voted to detariff domestic long distance service last year and carriers urged agency not to wait too long to take similar action for international services. Carriers had argued that it would be confusing to have one set of rules for domestic calls and another for international. FCC said carriers could detariff before end of 9-month transition period if they wished. Domestic detariffing goes into effect July 31 and some carriers have said they would like to do same thing for international at same time to avoid confusing consumers.
