This panel brings together the companies that are shaping that outcome to break down where the Commission’s deliberations stand— including the competing paths on the table—incumbent proposed public internet exchange framework, a condition-based transition model, and a National Transit Provider concept. Attendees will gain insight on what is likely to happen, the expected timeline, and what it means for interconnection costs, network planning, and competitive positioning heading into 2027. This is a must-attend session for anyone whose business depends on knowing how voice traffic will move once TDM is gone.

This session begins with a concise update on legislative, regulatory, and administrative developments, followed by a moderated discussion with network and AI infrastructure builders, permitting experts, and public-sector stakeholders.
