- On November 10, 2011, the Iowa Office of Consumer Advocate (OCA) filed a reply in support of its motion to reject the proposed tariff amendment of OmniTel Communications, Inc. with the Iowa Utilities Board (IUB). OCA argues that the tariff is inconsistent with the IUB’s High Volume Access Services (HVAS) rules adopted in 2009. The IUB agreed, in part, and suspended the tariff for further investigation on September 28. In its reply brief, OCA asserts that “What OmniTel seeks here is the Board’s official sanction of a tariff provision that sets forth future contract terms that would divest the Board of its lawful jurisdiction until 2014, nullify both existing and future Board and FCC rulings until 2014, and conflict with the lawfully adopted HVAS rules requiring good faith negotiations.” Docket No. TF-2011-0095.
