In this document, the Commission shifts financial responsibility for all interstate and intrastate terminating tandem switching and transport charges to access-stimulating local exchange carriers, and modifies its definition of access stimulation.

With this action, the Commission moves closer toward its goal of intercarrier compensation regime reform by reducing the financial incentives to engage in access stimulation.
