| SMS/800 UPDATED TO REFLECT 7.5% RESERVATION LIMIT SET BY FCC - The SMS/800 will be updated on Oct. 15 to make number reservation thresholds consistent with FCC regulations which limit the quantity of RESERVED numbers a Resp Org may hold to 2000 numbers or 7.5% of the Resp Org’s base of WORKING numbers, whichever is larger. In the past, the SMS/800 only allowed whole number values when setting the reservation threshold, so the system was unable to refuse additional reservations until the Resp Org hit 8%. The SMS/800 Management Team authorized the modification to the SMS/800 to help Resp Orgs automatically maintain compliance with the FCC regulation.
