The FCC has released a public notice reminding all entities that use the Number Portability Administrator Center (NPAC) that the process to transition operations of the NPAC from Neustar to Telcordia Technologies, Inc. d/b/a iconectiv (iconectiv) is underway. In July of 2016, the FCC approved inconectiv as the country’s next Local Number Portability Administrator (LNPA) for a period of at least five years. All entities that use the NPAC, including providers of telecommunications and telecommunications-related services, law enforcement agencies, and users of Wireless Do-No-Call services, must register with iconectiv. Telecommunications service providers are encouraged to register with inconectiv as early as possible during the transition period in order to provide sufficient time to then test the new system.
