State Tax

of tax types that each state is allowed to charge. Tax jurisdiction
(which state can charge tax for a call) is based on the two-out-of-three
rule: where it originates, where it terminates, where it is being billed
to - if two match, that state can charge the tax.

charge on top of a base rate for a specified reason.

connects the caller to the desired communication destination.

the IEC PoP for switched circuits.
Switched Resellers
- Resellers
that utilize their own switching hardware (and sometimes their own lines)
and the lines of other IXCs to provide long-distance service to its
subscribers. They provide their own billing and service.
Switched Services
- All dial
up long-distance services including conventional residential and WATS
(most have incremental use charges). (See Message Toll Service)
Switching Fee
- A per-line
fee (usually around 5$) imposed by the LEC to reprogram their switching
system to change your default carrier. Subscribers must usually pay
this fee when switching to a reseller. Some resellers will reimburse
the subscribers for this fee.
Switchless Reseller
- A reseller
of long-distance services that does not utilize any of its own lines,
or (switching) equipment. All actual service and equipment is handled
by the IXC. Billing is usually done, by the reseller themselves, to
the customer.
