On October 3, 2005, Grande Communications, Inc. (Grande) filed a petition for declaratory ruling regarding the treatment of traffic terminated through Grande to end users of interconnected local exchange carriers (LECs), in circumstances where customers of Grande have certified that the traffic originated in Internet protocol (IP) format. Specifically, Grande seeks a declaratory ruling that: 1) a LEC may properly rely on a customer’s certification that the traffic being sent originates in IP format at the calling party’s premises and therefore undergoes a net protocol conversion, or is otherwise enhanced, IP-enabled traffic; 2) a LEC may send such certified traffic to other terminating LECs over local interconnection trunks; and 3) terminating LECs receiving such traffic over local interconnection trunks are to treat that traffic as local traffic for intercarrier compensation purposes and may not assess access charges for such traffic.
