Spotlight on the Transition to All IP at BRANDED CALLING SUMMIT 2026 



The second day of the SUMMIT - Wednesday, May 20th - will be dedicated to the transition to a national All IP network infrastructure due to its foundational impact on the reliable delivery of branded calling and a host of other communications services and applications. 

	


Coverage of the transition to All IP will include the following sessions: 

10:00am – 11:00am EDT: 
Special FCC Keynote Focused on the Advancing IP Interconnection Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Featuring Erik Beith, Attorney Advisor in the Competition Policy Division of the FCC’s Wireline Competition Bureau. This special keynote will focus on the FCC’s October 2025 Advancing IP Interconnection Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Mr. Beith has worked extensively on robocall policy and implementation, including the Call Authentication Trust Anchor and Robocall Mitigation Database proceedings, and most recently on the Commission’s efforts to advance IP interconnection.

Panelists include Tim Boucher, Assistant General Counsel at Lumen; Brian Benison, AVP – Federal Relations, at AT&T Services, Inc.; and Randy Clarke, Associate General Counsel, at Verizon. This session explores a regulatory policy and legal framework recently proposed by USTelecom to modernize the nation’s voice infrastructure by enabling a transition from legacy TDM to universal IP-based traffic exchange. The discussion will also touch on how current TDM-based regulations are hampering this effort and the FCC’s recently launched notice of proposed rulemaking proceeding re: IP Interconnection. It will focus on key components of the USTelecom proposal.
