  1. The FCC's Open Internet Order (net neutrality) rules classify broadband internet access service under which Title of the Communications Act when applying common carrier obligations?

    Answer: Title II (Common Carriers)

  2. Under STIR/SHAKEN standards, which cryptographic component does an originating service provider attach to a SIP INVITE to authenticate caller ID?

    STIR/SHAKEN uses a PASSporT token — a JSON Web Token (JWT) — signed by the originating carrier's private key and carried in the SIP Identity header.

  3. A telecommunications executive discovers their company's robocall blocking system incorrectly blocked legitimate emergency alerts. Under FCC rules, which safe harbor provision is most relevant?

    Answer: Call Blocking safe harbor under 47 CFR 64.1200(k)

    The FCC's call blocking safe harbor under 47 CFR 64.1200(k) protects carriers from liability when they block calls in good faith using reasonable analytics.

  4. The Broadband Data Collection (BDC) program replaced which predecessor data collection system for broadband availability mapping?

    Answer: Form 477

    The BDC program replaced FCC Form 477, providing more granular location-level broadband availability data rather than census-block-level reporting.

    Answer: LSOG (Local Service Ordering Guidelines)

    LSOG (Local Service Ordering Guidelines) are ATIS standards that define the forms and processes CLECs use to order services from ILECs electronically.

  6. Under the FCC's Truth-in-Billing rules, a carrier's invoice must clearly disclose which of the following?

    Answer: Whether a charge is government-mandated or carrier-imposed

    Truth-in-Billing rules require carriers to clearly distinguish between mandatory government fees and discretionary carrier-imposed charges on customer bills.

  7. The FCC's Rural Call Completion rules require covered providers to record, retain, and report data on calls to rural areas primarily to address which problem?

    Answer: Incomplete or failed call completion to rural telephone customers

    Rural Call Completion rules target the problem of calls to rural areas failing or experiencing excessive ring times due to intermediate carriers seeking to minimize costs.
