In-Coming Mobile Calls
08/16/2004 05:00 AMThe telephone system works because the owners of various networks
agree to accept calls from other networks. What would happen if one
network decided not to accept calls from certain other networks? It
looks like folks in (or calling into) Iowa may find out at some point.
The East Buchanan Telephone Co-op announced plans to
block all calls from mobile phones to its customers, but
he Iowa Utilities Board issued a two-week injunction to stop them from
actually going through with it. Unfortunately, the AP article on the
topic is a little short on details, but some good ones are provided
over on the Interesting People list which gives some
background on interconnect fees. Basically,
what appears to be happening here (which is not at all clear from the
AP article) is that the Co-Op in question is not satisfied with the
interconnect rates they're receiving, and this is more or less a way
for them to go on "strike" until the mobile carriers agree to pay up.
Of course, you'd have to believe that the mobile carriers are in a
much stronger position, having a lot more cash, and (in general) being
somewhat less concerned if calls are getting through to certain
landlines in Iowa. Meanwhile, the customers of the phone companies in
the co-op would immediately blame their own phone company for blocking
perfectly reasonable calls, and may even push them towards competing
phone companies. It is a way for the Co-Op to make some noise to try
to get the much bigger carriers to settle this business dispute, but
they're clearly coming from a much weaker position. Of course, it
also seems highly unlikely that regulators would actually let these
phone companies block calls for very long, as the last thing they want
to do is give other small telcos any ideas that might put up all sorts
of walled gardens in the phone system. Of course, this wouldn't
really be all that different from the VoIP world, where Adelphia and
Frontier were recently (purposely or not)
blockin
g VoIP calls from AT&T.
