  • services might functionally be accomplished in different ways depending upon the network technology, the right to charge does not extend to functions not performed by the LEC or its retail VoIP service provider partner.'' The Commission adopted this limitation to address concerns in the record regarding double billing. This limitation was codified as part of the VoIP-PSTN framework in section 51.913(b) of the Commission's rules. The Commission also modified its tariffing rules in Part 61 for competitive LECs to implement the VoIP symmetry rule. On February 3, 2012, YMax Communications Corp. (YMax) filed an ex parte letter seeking confirmation of its interpretation that ``under [the Commission's] new VoIP-PSTN `symmetry' rule, a LEC is performing the functional equivalent of ILEC access service,

  • 54.711 of the Commission's rules, for the three days in 2011 during which it was effective. We find good cause to waive the Form 499 reporting requirements for this new rule for that limited period. In particular, we find that applying section 54.711 to require the reporting of VoIP-PSTN access charge revenues arising solely because of the adoption of section 51.913 would impose burdens on the reporting public with little or no offsetting benefit. Specifically, we find that because of the short time period in 2011 during which section 51.913 was effective, any new 2011 reportable revenue amounts arising solely from this rule change are likely de minimis. Accordingly, we waive, on our own motion, section 54.711 of the Commission rules

  • IP-terminated traffic.'' Rather, the Commission ``adopt[ed] rules making clear that origination and termination charges may be imposed under our transitional [VoIP] intercarrier compensation framework, including when an entity `uses Internet Protocol facilities to transmit such traffic to [or from] the called party's premises.''' This ``VoIP symmetry rule'' was incorporated in the codified intercarrier compensation rules for toll VoIP traffic. Section 51.913(a) of the Commission's rules specifies the rate applicable to all ``Access Reciprocal Compensation subject to this subpart exchanged between a local exchange carrier and another telecommunications carrier in Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) format that originates and/or terminates in IP format,'' without distinguishing among classes of VoIP traffic depending upon whether they originate in TDM or IP. In addition, section 51.913(b)
