SS7 is a digital, packet-switched, carrier-to-carrier signaling system used for call routing, billing, and management that occurs "out-of-band," which means the call routing information is transmitted in separate circuits from the conversation. See 47 C.F.R. § 64.1600(f) (defining "signaling system 7"); NEWTON, supra, at 545. This offers additional speed, control, and other advantages not available with "in-band" signalling systems.

  • they may be able to provide Caller ID, improved access to 911, and eliminate the need to collect some of information collected manually today through caller profiles. Currently our rules do not allow entities other than common carriers to purchase SS7 service. TRS centers, therefore, do not receive information normally transferred through the out-of-band signaling SS7 provides. Specifically, 47 C.F.R. §64.1600(f) defines SS7 service as ``a carrier to carrier out-of-band signaling network used for call routing, billing, and management [italics added].'' We seek comment on whether 47 C.F.R. §64.1600 should be amended to include TRS providers as lawful recipients and users of SS7 data. We also seek comment on whether the Commission has jurisdiction to allow TRS centers access to SS7
