Form 295 – ILEC Out-of-Territory Operations
Who should fill out this form?
This form should be completed by ILECs who have earned revenue for operations outside of their traditional ILEC territory. These revenues would be reported twice – once on this form and once on the relevant market-based (2XX) form.
Form 296 - Bundled Telecommunications Services
What is a bundle?
A bundle is an arrangement under which a subscriber is provided two or more service elements, under a rate structure which provides a financial or other benefit that is contingent on the use, consumption of or subscription to any or all service elements in the bundle and that would not otherwise be available.
Which services should be included when determining the type of bundle?
The form is designed to capture any combination of the following five services: local wireline, long distance wireline, internet, video and wireless. All other services should not be considered when determining the number of services in the bundle, or the distribution of revenue associated with the bundle.
How should revenue be allocated between the services?
For bundles that contain tariffed services, revenues for these tariffed services should be recorded at their tariffed rate. Revenues should be pro-rated to each of the remaining services in the bundle based on the ratio of the standalone price of the service to the standalone price of the total of the remaining services.
For all bundles that do not include tariffed services, revenues should be pro-rated to each of the services based on the ratio of the standalone price of the service to the standalone price of the total of all of the services.
Form 297 - VOIP Access Revenue & Traffic
We are a VoIP service provider. Do I complete this form or Form 211?
You must complete both Form 211 and Form 297.
Regardless of underlying technology, all entities generating voice services revenue must complete form 211. You must also complete Form 297 if you are providing non-circuit switched voice services utilizing IP either over your own managed facility such as a Centrex replacement service, or over a broadband access to the public Internet.
