Charging For Access
An access charge is a charge made by a local exchange carrier for use of its local exchange facilities for a purpose such as the origination or termination of traffic that is carried to or from a distant exchange by an interexchange carrier.
Although some access charges are billed directly to local end users, a significant percentage of all access charges are paid by the interexchange carriers.
