The FCC has issued a public notice requesting input on precisely what it would take to migrate the nation from its legacy circuit-switched phone systems to an all-IP voice network.

FCC today voted to impose a shot clock aimed at speeding up municipal approval for the placing of wireless towers. According to an FCC news release, the new agency rules impose a 90 day limit to states and municipalities to approve or deny collocation (tower sharing) requests, and 150 day limit to act on new tower placement requests.
