CenturyLink to discontinue CEMSS service due to lack of customer demand, next-gen service migrations

by Sean Buckley

CenturyLink has asked the FCC for permission to shut down its Call Event and Management Signaling Service (CEMSS), citing a lack of customers.

As a service that was delivered to carriers in the former Qwest territory, CenturyLink has set the last day it would offer CEMSS as June 1 or as soon thereafter as the necessary regulatory approvals can be obtained.
