Access charges; MTS and WATS market structure--Federal Communications Commission. Final rule.
FCC, pursuant to the Fourth Supplemental Notice of Inquiry and Proposed Rulemaking published on June 21, 1982, at 47 FR 26668, adopts rules for the computation and assessment of end user and carrier's carrier access charges and the creation of an exchange carrier association to prepare access charge tariffs and distribute pooled access charge revenues. The Commission concluded that this action was necessary because existing methods of access compensation produced unlawful discrimination and preferences in interstate rates. These rules were designed to eliminate such unlawful discrimination and preferences.
