DC Circuit decision in traffic pumping case

10 Jun, 2013

June 9, 2013 - The DC Circuit today upheld the FCC decision that CLECs may not rely on tariffs to charge long distance carriers for access to CLECs’ non-paying customers. The issue arose in response to a tariff filed by Northern Valley, a CLEC in South Dakota, as part of a traffic pumping arrangement for conference calling services. This is a win against the traffic pumpers. We are not required to pay tariff charges for terminating CLECs with non-paying customers (e.g the free conferencing call companies). Download a .pdf copy of the decision at www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/3A4E9A9BDD4D834685257B830050E78C/$file/11-1467-1440048.pdf
