First, wrt the Livingston exchange, 931-397 and 931-403 belong to US Cellular; the latter is pooled (they're using the 7's). Nextel has -871, pooled (using 6 and 7). Oddly, US Cellular but not S-N says it subtends a Gaineborough tandem, which is Twin Lakes, but most Twin Lakes exchanges subtend Nashville. As to VoIP via cellular numbers, well, its sort of odd, but it might be possible. The new rules may actually say something about this -- there was a VoIP company affiliated with a wireless company that was, uh, alleged to have been laundering its LD calls via the cellular company in order to get the lower termination rates. They deny it of course... but that may have been addressed in the intercarrier rules. I haven't gotten through it all yet. (It's freakin' huge.) I actually had a client that was a wireless company whose business included lots and lots of modems, way back when, so it's not unprecedented to have, uh, "incidental" non-wireless traffic go through a wirless feed. And heck, put up one 3.65 GHz base station (if it's allowed there) and declare it "CMRS", and you're a cellco too! There's one lawyer I know who sort of specializes in this sort of thing. >Scottie Arnett >President >Info-Ed, Inc. >Electronics and More >931-243-2101 >sarn...@info-ed.com >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Scottie Arnett" <sarn...@info-ed.com> >To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> >Sent: Monday, November 21, 2011 10:14 PM >Subject: Re: [WISPA] FCC releases USF/ICC Order, rules on subsidizing ILECs > > > > Please explain about the Livingston exchange!!!
