  Consumer Facts Sheets - Presubscribed Interexchange Carrier Charge
From July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000, the maximum Presubscribed Interexchange Carrier Charge paid by the long distance companies for primary residential lines and single-line business lines was $1.04 per line per month.
For non-primary residential lines, the maximum Presubscribed Interexchange Carrier Charge paid by the long distance companies was $2.53 per line per month from July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000.
The actual Presubscribed Interexchange Carrier Charge paid by the long distance companies may vary, based on the actual cost of providing local phone service in each area, and may be less than this maximum amount.

 Interexchange carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United States, Interexchange carrier (or IXC) is a legal and regulatory term for a telecommunications company, commonly called a long-distance telephone company, such as ATandT, MCI, and Sprint.
It is defined as carriers which provide inter LATA (local access and transport area) communication.
IXCs used to carry voice traffic on analog lines, but these days, most voice traffic is digitized.

 Ca981249   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Appellant contended that, because it is not an "interexchange carrier," its transfer of a toll call through it switching facilities for another ILEC does not meet the statutory definition of "switched-access service," and, therefore, its reciprocal rate provision does not violate section 23-17-407(a).
He stated that each ILEC is an interexchange carrier when it delivers traffic from one exchange to another; that both ILECs and IXCs require switched-access services in order to complete toll calls; and that the switched-access service required to complete those calls for an ILEC is indistinguishable from the switched-access service required by an IXC.
Based on this language as well as the evidence of the varied usage of the term "interexchange carrier," we cannot say that the Commission's interpretation of this term is clearly wrong or that the Commission erred in applying section 23-17-407(a) to appellant's November 1997 tariff additions.

 Interexchange carrier automatic route selection system - Patent 4866763
A telephone user normally selects an interexchange carrier and informs the telephone company serving the user's local telephone exchange area that the user's toll calls are to be completed by the selected interexchange carrier.
If user 3 has the requested interexchange carrier resources, steps 3113 and 3114, route controller central processing unit 10 creates a pending route record in the memory unit data base that was created for user 3 and returns to step 3103 to await further user input.
When the user requested interexchange carrier resources are not in the user created data base or the requested resources are not available, route controller 1, steps 3115 and 3103, denies the user's request, informs user 3 of the denial and awaits further user input.

Like the residential Presubscribed Interexchange Carrier Charge, this is a maximum; the actual charge may be less than this maximum amount.
The maximum Presubscribed Interexchange Carrier Charge long distance companies pay to local telephone companies is generally lower for primary residential lines than it is for non-primary residential lines.
Their Presubscribed Interexchange Carrier Charge payments, and payments they make to ensure that all Americans have affordable access to telephone services, are largely offset by reductions in the amount of per-minute charges the companies pay for each call made by their customers.

 Regulating Competition in the Interexchange Telecommunications Market:
It certifies that carriers are acting in the public interest, establishes carriers' service areas, controls the number of circuits and facilities that carriers may construct or lease to provide their authorized services, and ensures that carriers do not arbitrarily discontinue, reduce, or impair their services in areas that primarily rely on them.
All forborne carriers therefore had increased incentive to develop new services and be responsive to customer needs because: (1) they alone reaped the rewards of their ingenuity while their competitors sought to overtake them, and (2) they had to take such action in order to retain or improve their market share and remain competitive.
Finally, because dominant carriers did not enjoy the flexibility afforded by forbearance, such firms, which could otherwise use their more substantial resources to serve as industry leaders in service innovation, were vulnerable to losing their technological initiative and becoming relegated to a secondary role in the research and development of new services.
