2. Scope of OIR

CALTEL asserts that high-speed data services are information services over which the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) asserts sole jurisdiction, and, therefore, high-speed data services should be removed from the scope of the OIR. CALTEL also contends that the reference to "ordinary voice and data communications" contained in Instruction No. 6 of the Commission's current Form of Application for Registration (Application Form) is vague and unhelpful. No other party raised this concern.

We clarify that the OIR applies only to "telecommunications services," as defined in statute and by the FCC.⁵
