In 2009, our firm organized The Ad Hoc Coalition of International Telecommunications Companies (ACITC). The ACITC is a grassroots organization comprised of both U.S. and non-U.S. companies, including a variety of international communications, traditional and IP transport carriers, prepaid service providers and numbering providers. The goal of the Coalition is to bring equitable relief to international telecommunications service providers offering services in the United States. The ACITC is not beholden to the interests of any single member or group, but by the common cause shared by all members. The ACITC represents a clear, unified voice for international telecommunications service providers ready to fight for fair and equitable treatment under the law.
