Marashlian & Donahue, PLLC, The CommLaw Group Marashlian & Donahue pioneered the carrier of record (CoR) model nearly a decade ago. This regulatory solution was developed to address critical gaps in the telecom market, particularly for VoIP providers struggling to balance profitability and complex compliance requirements across thousands of jurisdictions. The model introduced a third option to traditional frameworks: centralized compliance. With this, the CoR assumes full responsibility for regulatory obligations, including tax remittances, USF contributions, licensing and public safety requirements. By delegating compliance to the CoR, retail partners reduce exposure to audits, fines and reputational damage while focusing on customer acquisition and market growth.
