Thanks for sharing this important development 
Richard.

I do not know what  is the meaning of the 
sentence, 

"we expect all carriers to negotiate in 
good faith in response to requests for IP-to-IP interconnection for the exchange 
of voice traffic."

Does anyone have insight?

  Subject: The US Federal Communications 
  Commission just sent the IETF RAI/SIPcommunity an early Christmas 
  present...

  Folks it was suggested that I resend this message from the 
  RAI list to the Full Dispatch list but what the heck ...  the IETF 
  community needs to see this. 

  What you see here is a very significant policy direction 
  from the US Federal Communications Commission to the IETF/SIP/RAI 
  community.

  Mandatory IP interconnection between carriers for E.164 
  named Voice. In addition there are clauses that mandate non modification of 
  the calling parties E.164 number in the headers. 

  This should come as no surprise to anyone.  Our 
  international carrier partners at  i3Forum.org have been preaching this 
  for some time. 

  From the FCC executive summary of the Report and 
  Order.   

  26. IP-to-IP 
  Interconnection. We recognize the importance 
  of interconnection to
  competition and the 
  associated consumer benefits. We anticipate that the reforms we adopt 
  will
  further promote the 
  deployment and use of IP networks, and seek comment in the 
  accompanying
  FNPRM regarding the policy 
  framework for IP-to-IP interconnection. We also make clear 
  that
  even while our FNPRM is 
  pending, we expect all carriers to negotiate in good faith in response 
  to
  requests for IP-to-IP 
  interconnection for the exchange of voice traffic.

  I wish to make it clear that I?m personally willing to 
  privately discuss with the technical community how we can transition our 
  industry to the all SIP network. 

  If you want to speculate on how you translate a E.164 
  number to a point of interconnection ..you can,  but RFC 6116 is not a 
  bad starting point though Global SPID identifiers would work.  ( I gladly 
  gave up my blue dot recently) 

  We won!
