What is the issue?
Currently, the SEC requires the DCC to send two invoices to SEC Parties, one for its general Charges and a separate invoice for Communications Hub (CH) Finance Charges (CHFC). Providing two invoices every month for SEC parties and tracking payments has proven difficult.
The DCC frequently has to reconcile payments which have been made in error, either because they have been made in the wrong amount or to the wrong accounts. The DCC is currently in the process of arranging finance for the next phase of deliveries of CH, which will amplify the issues with the current system as volumes increase and multiple finance parties require payment. As DCC implements the next phase of financing of CH and the number of monthly financing payments increase, this system will become untenable.
