What does the FCC and/or intercarrier compensation reform crowd mean, exactly, when they say "Virtual NXX?" Is that some class of clever remote call forwarding schemes from a CO where the call between it and your rate center is rated LD by the ILEC, but which some call forwarding product manages to get around or mitigate somehow? Or does it refer to carriers picking up inbound calls at the LATA supertandems by carriers from rate centers in which they don't have direct end-office trunking and whose number blocks are not homed to the tandems (any tandems) to which the carrier is connected? This was rather common during the dialup boom and often skirted the 'DS1-of-consistent-usage = DEOT needed' requirement in most form ICAs, as I understand it. -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671 Mobile : (+1) (678) 237-1775
