Today, URCA published the National Numbering Plan also the Statement of Results for the initial NNP consultation. This is to permit the sector and interested parties to have another opportunity to comment, before the NNP is formally published.
In May 2008, URCA’s predecessor (the Public Utilities Commission (PUC)) initiated a Public Consultation process on a National Numbering Plan for The Bahamas. The completion of the work in this consultation process was delayed with the introduction of new electronic communications sector legislation in 2009 and the subsequent transition of the PUC to URCA, as the new regulator. This transition process resulted in the re-prioritization of some of the work already started by the PUC.
The NNP consultation is now being concluded by URCA under the new legislation that ushered in significant regulatory changes. Therefore, these documents are being published in draft and URCA will now accept additional comments until 30 July, 2010.
All the documents can be downloaded from this website.
