Unreferenced date October 2009 A telecommunicationsservice provider or TSP is a type of communications service provider that has traditionally provided telephone and similar services. This category includes incumbent local exchange carrier s, competitive local exchange carrier s, and mobile wireless communication companies.

TelecommunicationsService Priority TSP is a United States program that authorizes national security and emergency preparedness organizations to receive priority treatment for vital voice and data circuits or other telecommunications services. As a result of hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and other natural or man made disasters, telecommunicationsservice vendors frequently experience a surge in requests for new services and requirements to restore existing services. The TSP Program provides service vendors a Federal Communications Commission FCC mandate to prioritize requests by identifying those services critical to national security and emergency preparedness. A TSP assignment ensures that it will receive priority attention by the service vendor before any non TSP service ref National Communications System, TelecommunicationsService Priority , 2010, http tsp.ncs.gov http tsp.ncs.gov , 25 January 2010 ref . Four broad categories serve as guidelines for determining whether a circuit or telecommunicationsservice is eligible for priority provisioning or restoration.
