THE REGULATORY MIX AND BLOG ARTICLES

Communication is the key to progression, no matter what your company’s business is. Whether you’re a start-up or well-established organization, positive thinking and good communication can have a lasting effect from each individual’s well-being to the overall health of your company. It encourages accountability, instills confidence within the ranks, and promotes the individuals to hone their own set of skills.

For sure, I'm not the only one feeling how fast 2014 is coming to an end. Just the other day I overheard a couple at the grocery store telling their cashier how they saw a Christmas commercial for the first time this season. This made me realize that the Holidays are right around the corner and much preparation is in order. To that end and as it relates to compliance reporting in the telecom world, this is the time to prepare for a year-end gathering of the minds with your compliance reporting personnel to discuss plans for 2015. Past accomplishments, anticipated documents and projected changes should be at the forefront of discussions. Whether your regulatory team is comprised of internal or external experts, aggregating their invaluable knowledge and drawing on their experiences will ensure your organization will hit the ground running in 2015.

Now that 2013 is over and behind us, we can focus on the challenges of 2014. With the New Year comes change and 2014 will have no shortage of such. Among the many changes, are the highly anticipated final FCC Orders on the requirements for Special Access Data and Rural Call Completion. These changes are broad in nature and are expected to have a lasting effect on carriers.

These days, it seems there just isn’t enough time, which is why I embrace every moment with family and friends especially during the Holidays. Fond childhood memories spark nostalgic feelings of how simple life was as a child, reminiscent of how magical Christmas was. My family and I take great pleasure in sharing those childhood stories and memorable events of Christmas past.
