BILLING CODE 6712–01–P
1. The NOI seeks comment on a broad
range of issues regarding the tying or
bundling of services in general that have
been raised before the Commission. In
the NOI, the Commission seeks to
examine the competitive consequences
when providers bundle their legacy
services with new services, or ‘‘tie’’
such services together such that the
services are not available independent
from one another to end users. The
Commission seeks comment on how
such bundling might affect both
intramodal and intermodal competition
and the effect that it might have on the
public interest, including benefits to
consumers. Several commenters in
Commission proceedings have raised
the possibility that bundling services
potentially harms competition because
consumers have to purchase redundant
or unwanted services. As the
communications marketplace continues
to move toward bundled solutions for
consumers, the Commission asks
commenters to address specifically
whether competition is supplying
sufficient incentives for providers to
disaggregate bundles to maximize
consumer choice. The Commission
seeks comment on whether such
bundling behavior is harmful to
competition, particularly unaffiliated
providers of new services, such as voice
over Internet protocol (VoIP), and if so,
how this is related to several previous
decisions or ongoing proceedings
relating to dominance and classification
issues. Finally, the Commission seeks
comment on its authority to impose
remedies, the adequacy and costs of any
potential regulatory remedies, and the
least invasive regulations that could
effectively remedy any potential
competitive concerns.
Paperwork Reduction Act
2. This NOI does not contain
proposed information collection(s)
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA), Pub. L. 104–13. In
addition, therefore, it does not contain
any proposed ‘‘information collection
burden for small business concerns with
fewer than 25 employees,’’ pursuant to
the Small Business Paperwork Relief
Act of 2002, Pub. L. 107–198, see 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(4).
Ordering Clause
Accordingly, it is ordered that the
Notice of Inquiry is adopted.
