The International Communications Association (ICA) also supports 
interoperability in the legislation.  The original draft of the bill 
contained four, not three, points under Sec 248.b.2.  The point that 
was stricken before the house hearings related to interoperability 
standards for service providers.

ICA is an association of nearly 600 large business users of 
telecommunications.  Our goals for the legislation are aimed at 
promoting competition (with appropriate safeguards where substantial 
competition does not yet exist), interoperability, reasonable and 
justifiable rates, and a balance among technical innovation and 
privacy.

For more information on ICA and its policy efforts, contact Brian 
Moir, ICA's lead counsel, at (202) 331-9852, or via Email at
