"Access charges are really being used to prevent bypass" When they first introduced access charges, I studied it a bit, and finally it seemed to make sense to me. But that was a while back, and in the meantime I have learned more about systems and tariffs, and now it doesn't make sense to me any more - unless it is the case that you have to pay the access charge even on a local trunk that does not have long distance access ?
