Document review • Open section 6B Timeline to deploy: Notes from conference call 9/8/10 • Assuming all of the technical considerations are worked out between the two FCH’s, a timeline to deploy should be agreed to in order to set customer/carrier expectation. • Few carriers want to be the first to deploy with an unconnected/peered FCH. • By setting a time line to deploy, expectations are realistically set. • Draft002 FCH Peering document on CDG wiki • https://wiki.cdg.org/wiki/FCH_Peering_Task_Force_Progress
Text to be added to section 6B • Assuming a technical solution has already been implemented between participating FCH Clearing House Vendors, such solution will be made available to the Party’s Member Carriers on an individual basis. The implementation of such service will complete within 30 days of the carrier’s requested starting date and coincide with the requesting carrier’s processing and settlement period.
Problem to Solve • An RSP is a vendor that facilitates voice/SMS roaming by supplying various interconnection services between CDMA voice/SMS roaming partners. • RSP’s have an existing peering relationship built on the backbone of SS7. • Confusion about what is covered • Different charging principles used by different providers • Instances where a carrier will not have access to certain CDMA partners or regions
