As a Sr. Associate Consultant at Technologies Management, Inc., I work on a variety of telecommunications tariffs ranging from the traditional local exchange and interexchange tariffs to access service tariffs. However, my forte is institutional telecommunications tariffs. Ever heard of it? For those of you who are unfamiliar with institutional tariffs, in a nut shell, they contain the regulations and rates applicable to automated operator assisted services for use by inmates and other incarcerated persons in correctional institutions. It’s one of the most out-of-the-ordinary and currently talked about industries. The most recent “buzz” in this ever-evolving environment took place at an FCC workshop held on July 10, 2013.
