This table shows average rates (weighted by minutes of use) for all local exchange carriers (LECs) that file access tariffs subject to price-cap regulation and all LECs in the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA) pool. Rates are composites of all regions and subsidiaries of each local exchange carrier. No information is available for those carriers that are not in the NECA pool, but are subject to rate-of-return regulation.

The total charge per conversation minute consists of charges on the originating end of the call, which are adjusted for dialing and call setup time, plus charges on the terminating end. Originating charges per conversation minute equal the carrier common line charge per originating access minute plus the traffic-sensitive charge per switched minute, both multiplied by 1.07 to account for dialing and call setup time, plus the non-traffic-sensitive charge per switched minute. Terminating charges per conversation minute equal carrier common line charges per terminating access minute plus both traffic-sensitive and non-traffic-sensitive charges per switched minute.
