The Center for Communications Management has ceased publishing
"Deal Watch," a compendium of rates of telecom carriers, used by
corporations, to shop around for the best-priced telecom deal.
Publication stopped because carriers are no longer sharing
specifics, only ranges about their actual prices of their services
even though required by FCC. The idea was that if a consumer asks,
the information would be available.
With the "range of rates" reports the carriers began filing with
the FCC, no one can actually pinpoint what rates go with what
particular deal, said Bryan Lancelot., SVP with Telwares. "AT&T
was the first carrier to test out the range of rates concept, and
the FCC did not push back," said Lancelot. "MCI ultimately followed
suit. As time went by, other carriers became even bolder in not
complying. They started filing little to no information about
specific deals. Since the FCC never pushed back on the carriers…the
carriers have basically stopped filing any deal-specific terms with
the FCC."
