I've been doing some research into rate centers, and thus far, I <br>have been unable to learn how (or even if) a new rate center can be <br>created. I've checked my state PUC's docket (TX), and I haven't been <br>able to find anything relating to rate centers. If I could make a new <br>rate center, it would make it significantly easier to get set up in <br>certain area codes where no non-RBOC ILEC is available, as it would <br>remove the requirements to interconnect over TDM with ATT. Has any other <br>CLEC attempted this?<br><br>Thank you,<br><br>Enzo Damato<br><br><br>PS: Thanks for all the wonderful information. I've been a longtime <br>lurker on this list, and it's been very helpful in setting up my first <br>CLEC.<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>VoiceOps mailing list<br>VoiceOps@voiceops.org<br>https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops<br></div><br></div></body></html>
