What a JIP!

For all of you negotiating with the "New AT&T," push hard on the new JIP language in their master services agreements. Let them know that their regulatory folks are running around the FCC saying that the JIP isn't useful for anything and that it would be expensive and wasteful to implement. Their FCC advocacy to the contrary, AT&T's business people are holding firm that carriers have to pass JIP in the SS7 stream.

Pot, meet kettle.
