methodology. First, the Commission
sought comment on a contribution
methodology that would impose a
minimum contribution obligation on all
interstate telecommunications carriers,
and a flat charge for each end-user
connection, depending on the nature or
capacity of the connection. Next, the
Commission sought comment on a
proposal to assess all connections based
purely on capacity. Finally, the
Commission sought comment on a
proposal to assess providers of switched
connections based on their working
telephone numbers. If adopted, the
proposals may entail altering the current
reporting requirements to which
interstate telecommunications carriers
are subject under Part 54 of the
Commission’s rules.
