Good News! No Number Allocation (for now)

The SNAC committee will be sending its 855 recommendation letter to the FCC tomorrow.  In the letter the release date for 855 is October 2, 2010.  The one day change makes the release a Saturday which is historically how releases are done to limit interference with the normal SMS workload.  Any reference to allocation was removed from the recommendation because as of last Monday, based on the current take rate of toll free numbers from spare, there were enough numbers to last until June 2012.  The movement of the take rate is being monitored in case allocation becomes necessary.
