[VoiceOps] Tariff puzzle

[CLEC NY]

  Hi Tim,

Thanks for your answer, but that raises another question,  Why most of 
the CLEC FCC ( interstate) tariffs  include Tandem switching charges?  
Since most CLECs do not own any Tandem it does not make sense to have 
these rates included in Tariffs.

Also, Will  IXC receive two(partial)  bills for same call?  I am new to 
this but  my telecom attorney told me she has never seen partial bill ( 
just tandem switching charges ) from a ILEC.

I see arguments from both side..still confused :)


Regards,
Naush.
