In December our exchange 217-777 was effective. We’re using ANPI’s Tandem service for our Feature Group D traffic and using our ILEC (Consolidated Communications) as our intralata/local tandem.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>No troubles on the Intralata/local terminating traffic, however, we’re having more and more reports of different people out in the world that can’t call our customers.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It started with AT&T Cellular, that’s been resolved, then we heard from Sprint PCS, that’s been resolved.
