Not sure if this is related or not, but I have been receiving an increase in complaints of calls not getting to my subscribers. The originators says they get ringing forever, ring a couple times then a tone and silence, and other such non-sense.? This is typical rural call completion issues. Inteliquent handles all of my toll calls, inbound and outbound. In almost every case the originator is a VoIP provider that has no physical presence in my LATA.? Inteliquent says they have no record of the call.? Of course they don't, I already assumed that, but I sometimes check with Inteliquent anyways. I serve mostly rural portions of Northwest Minnesota. The frequency of these complaints wax and wane over time.? Point being, I feel there has been a significant increase over the past several months.

Jared- Maybe this case ? ? https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-373349A1.pdf seems to be pending / working its way through. "Since 2011, the Commission has taken numerous actions to modernize this outdated system and curb the harmful arbitrage that it invites." -Jeff Quoting Jared Geiger <compuwizz at gmail.com>:

This blog post from Transnexus highlights a filing Inteliquent placed with the FCC about an Arbitrage Scheme.?https://transnexus.com/blog/2022/access-arbitrage-rules-discussion/ ? The link is broken to the original filing so I can't read the full details. ? Maybe I'm not understanding the full complaint, but Inteliquent is expecting a lot of traffic to come through them to the IPES's number ranges but they aren't getting the traffic. The "Wholesale Inbound Provider" instead is getting the traffic. ? Wouldn't this just be similar to private peering between providers? I've had "10 Digit peering" service before from a vendor but that product went away a few years ago. ? ~Jared ?
