Will the FCC Stop Verizon & AT&T’s Manipulation o f Financial Accounting & Special Access (BDS) Overcharges? [telecom]

By Bruce Kushnick

On April 28th, 2016, the FCC started the process to take actions to fix the broken $40 billion special access market, now called "Broadband Data Services" (BDS).

As we discussed in our "primer", special access services are NOT special, but are based on basic, aging copper, as well as fiber optic wires that are part of the state utility networks and are mostly provided and controlled by the incumbent phone companies - AT&T, Verizon and Centurylink. And these are the wires that go to the cell sites for wireless calls or are used by businesses for broadband.
