| Summary |
Revises Tariff WN U-48, the company’s intrastate switched access tariff; specifically regarding Section 6.8.1.C.2. tandem switching, terminating end office rates (reducing them to bill-and-keep when the terminating carrier owns the serving tandem switch). The filing is consistent with the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) November 18, 2011, “Transformation Order” (FCC 11-161); regarding intercarrier compensation (ICC) reform, “Step 7” (of the seven step process for price cap carriers). Additionally, the company proposes to remove the direct dial coin feature on smart public access lines (PAL) because the feature is no longer supportable. IntraLATA calling via 0+ or 0- on FGC and 1+ interLATA calling on FGD will continue to be supported for the smart PAL service. |
