Round Table: Intercarrier Compensation Reform

“This is a complex issue and to think that this can be resolved in a rational way in that amount of time … is really putting a lot of undue strain on all the carriers that would be affected.”

–William Haas, PAETEC regulatory and public policy vice president

“I do think that’s a very ambitious agenda. … But Chairman Martin, when he puts his mind to something, he does get things done.”

–Anna Gomez, Sprint Nextel Corp. vice president of regulatory affairs

“I think it’s a stretch.”

–Andy Lipman, Bingham McCutchen partner

“[It] is possible given the confluence of events involving the reduction in access revenue and certain political realities facing the ILEC industry next year.”

–Jessica Zufolo, Medley Global Advisers telecom analyst
