Well yes, but functionally, how is IP transport sufficiently different to make it an "information service" rather than a "telecommunications service?" At least that's the argument I'd make against reclassifying access services. Miles On 11/22/17 9:24 PM, Luke Guillory wrote:
Those normally come with ASRs and a tariff from the regulated side of things. At least from my experience anyway.

The FCC is about to reclassify "Broadband Internet Access Service" as an information service instead of Telecommunications Service. This prombpted the following question which isn't about the FCC action per say.
This is about how does one define Transit provider vs ISP ? For that matter, how does one distinguish between someone delivering IP packets, vs. someone offering frame relay, or ATM - which are clearly telecom services?
