We examine the interaction between two interconnected networks (e.g., two local exchange carriers (LECs)) and a third network (e.g., an interexchange carrier (IXC)) seeking access to their customer base. The IXC could either interconnect with both LECs or interconnect with only one LEC and...

We examine the interaction between two interconnected networks (e.g., two LECs) and a third network (e.g., an IXC) seeking access to their customer base. The IXC could either interconnect with both LECs or interconnect with only one LEC and transit calls to the other LEC via the first LEC's...

This Article offers an all-new solution to the problem of interconnection between telecommunication networks. According to the FCC's proposal, interconnection between Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) and long-distance carriers would be mandatory and all charges demanded by LECs for outgoing and...

This Article offers an all new solution to the problem of interconnection between telecommunication networks. The FCC recently proposed to take regulation of interconnection to the most extreme degree of intervention. According to this proposal, interconnection between LECs and other carriers...
