  4. FCH Peering: Project Timeline Industry collaboration = progress and growth March 2010 Announcement of NEW TASK FORCE January 2010 IRT Co-chairs send request letter listing carrier who are in support for the initiative September 2009 Carrier Requirements reviewed and provided to FCH vendors JULY 2009 KDDI presents idea of FCH peering. Carrier voted item in for action August 2009 Carrier Requirements collected November 2009 FCH vendors present peering status – Outcome = no support for the project in 2010 February 2010 FCH vendors respond to IRT with the willingness to support the project
  5. FCH Peering: Project Timeline Industry collaboration = progress and growth April 2010 First Task Force meeting Hosted by MACH Tampa, FL June 2010 Update to IRT Carriers Seek Direction May 2010 Response Received By IRT Chairs
  6. Task ForceDiscussion Items The task force to focus on: Development: feasibility of developing a CDMA FCH peering solution Liability: what are the liability issues of for peering? Legality: discuss the legal aspects of peering between FCH providers Practicality: What is the practicality of providing the service? Cost: Determine the cost to build the FCHP service
  7. Development What are the things that need to be done in order to develop a peering solution? Carrier Requirements: completed Network/connectivity (VPN) Standardized Record Formats Process to charge the other FCH General process of message and record flow Discussion: Development is not extensive Agreed by both vendors this is feasible
  8. Liability What happens if a carrier does not pay FCH#1 and the partner belongs to FCH#2? Is there a willingness to cover for non pay or slow pay? What happens if there is a natural disaster – who is liable then? May need additional days to allow data and fund transfer – carrier pushback? What happens if there is non funding between FCH’s? Information sharing: sensitive carrier information will need to be shared with additional organizations Discussion: Recasting occurs today on a single FCH Recasting across FCHs will be tricky to work out Need for FCH’s to hold insurance or roll over accounts will be imperative IDEAS: Adjust roaming agreement to include a fee for late or non payment Allow a roll over account FCH Vendors hold insurance accounts which will be added to the cost of the serivce
  9. Legal New agreements needed: FCH to FCH Carrier to Carrier, Carrier to FCH Clearing House to FCH Banks: Charging across banks for FCH fees Discussion: Understanding banking fees What are they Who is going to pay for them Liability is the key component
  10. Practicality Main benefit is going from 2 invoices out to 1 invoice. What is the real need for this? Both vendors find demand to be low CDG finds the demand to be moderate
  11. Cost FCH services today are very low (est ~$200 USD) To build is going to take money Ideas: Service: for those that want the service, will pay for it Development: All contribute to the development
  12. FCH Response
  13. Where to go from here? Ideas: Understand the real costs that will be passed off to carriers Carriers answer questions that came out of task force Provide additional requirements to FCHs Provide a list of “actual” carriers that want this service to be developed out
  14. Thank you
