CDG Completes 8YY Reform Enhancements Ahead of Schedule News provided by Share this article Share this article CHAMPAIGN, Ill., May 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Communications Data Group (CDG) is pleased to announce the recent completion of enhancements to CDG's interconnection, carrier access, and circuit billing and management solution, BDS-I, to support the FCC's regulatory changes to billing originating 8YY usage. The rule changes, which go into effect on July 1, 2021, are designed to remove underlying incentives for 8YY arbitrage schemes, such as traffic pumping, benchmarking, mileage pumping, and double-dipping fraud schemes that exploited existing inter-carrier compensation rules. The BDS-I system enhancements for the 8YY reform changes were completed ahead of schedule, which will provide BDS-I clients additional time for updating their information and testing prior to the July 1 effective date.
