I'm looking for a source of Ma-Bell telecom rates from a given exchange to *any* or as many other exchanges that I can get my hands on. I know that such creatures exist since the office complex I'm in has a system that uses this information to bill back all these long-distance phone calls to me. (But they won't share their sources(s) with me... sigh.) Anybody know where I can find this kind of information? |Timothy D.

(But they won't share their sources(s) with me... sigh.) Are you sure they don't just get detailed billing tapes back from your CO operator? Anyway, this information comes from FCC tariff number 5. This at least contains intra and inter lata/state (yes there is such a thing as intra-lata inter state calls) mileage bands for (last I checked) ATT, MCI and Sprint. I don't recall seeing things like the reach-out-America plan in there, but then again I wasn't looking for that. To calculate the mileage bands you need a V&H tape. Both of these are available from Bellcore, at no small cost. Oh, you also need software to drive these, taking things like rate corridors, taxes, discount periods, volume discounts, etc into account. Ie, rating calls accurately is not easy. -- Paul Guthrie chinet!nsacray!paul
