[VoiceOps] Interstate vs. intrastate rates

[Mary Lou Carey]

That makes sense.....although according to the new FCC guidelines every call
should be routed with an ANI and JIP (LRN).

Alex,

	From my experience the "indeterminate" rates are typically
associated with the ability to determine if the origination point is a VoIP
device or not. If the wholesale provider is unable to determine if the call
was VoIP or TDM originated then the "indeterminate" rate would apply.  

Thanks,

Traditionally, in our trunk routing and rating system, we deal with
intra- and inter-state rates by mapping the ANI and the DNIS to regions,
which in turn have prefix lists associated with them.  If the regions match,
it's an intrastate call.  If they don't match, it's interstate. 
If one or both of them cannot be mapped to a region, our system allows you
to choose default inter- or intra- treatment in such situations.

Recently, a customer approached us with a rate deck, from one of their
wholesale termination vendors, that had an additional "indeterminate" 
rate column on it.  The rates didn't seem to differ substantially from the
intrastate rates (which tend to be higher), but they were different.

Is this a new trend?   Is this something we need to support to be on the 
ball?  Or is this an exotic vendor?

Thanks,
