MetaSwitch Positions for CLECs Facing the End of UNE-P

In response to recent FCC rule changes affecting the availability of UNE-P services to CLECs, MetaSwitch is positioning its VP3500 Next Generation Class 5 Switch as a next generation telephone solution for CLECs needing to move to facilities-based networks. MetaSwitch said the recent change in the FCC unbundling regulations has led many UNE-P based CLECs to revise their business models. MetaSwitch believes the key news for CLECs includes the finding that switching will no longer be an unbundled element for business customers and that individual states must determine if UNE-P is required for residential customers to provide competition. In addition, the rule changes removed the requirement on RBOCs to provide unbundled packet switching elements (including DSLAMs) and line sharing.
