(SBCIP) filed a petition with the Commission for a limited waiver of section 52.15( g)( 2)( i) of the Commission’s rules. 1 SBCIP requests a limited waiver of the Commission’s numbering rules to allow it to obtain numbering resources directly from the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) and/ or the Pooling Administrator (PA). 2 SBCIP states that it intends to use these numbering resources in deploying IP- enabled services, including Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services, on a commercial basis to residential and business customers. SBCIP seeks a waiver of section 52.15( g)( 2)( i) until the Commission adopts final numbering rules regarding IP- enabled services. SBCIP states that granting the waiver will not prejudge the Commission’s ability to craft whatever numbering rules it deems appropriate in the IP- Enabled Services proceeding. 3 1 47 C. F.
