On October 29, 2003, the Commission received a complaint filed by Black Hills FiberCom, L.L.C. (FiberCom) against Qwest Corporation (Qwest) regarding intrastate switched access charges applied to ISP-Bound calls. According to the Complainant's representative, Qwest is taking the position that under its intrastate tariff it may charge FiberCom intercarrier switched access charges when a FiberCom customer initiates a call to a Qwest served ISP which is within FiberCom's local calling area, but is between Qwest's local exchanges. The Complainant disagrees and is requesting a Commission's determination of whether such charges are appropriate.
