Abstract

An issue of growing importance in telecommunications policy is the relationship between interconnection for domestic and international telephony. While international telephony’s need for international transport is an inherent distinction, that factor will not determine distinctions in interconnection arrangements.

Innovations in the pricing structure for telephony, whether through Internet telephony or other avenues, offer the potential for changing the structure of interconnection negotiations and eliminating distinctions between international and domestic telephony interconnection.
