There is no escaping the fallout from phantom traffic and access avoidance. In the end, everyone pays. But while the industry waits for a long-term regulatory fix, there are steps you can take and solutions you can deploy now to mitigate the pain.

Whether you’re an RBOC, an ILEC, a CLEC or an IOC, you should be looking at your records and reconciling that for which you get billed with the traffic you actually record. Do you have all the records you need from all the places you can gather them? Are you paying for records you shouldn’t be? Are your compensation agreements worth the paper or silicon on which they’re written? Can you tell when you’re getting spoofed?

During this Webinar, you’ll learn:

• The importance of addressing phantom traffic, even if you think you’re immune
• The current regulatory framework on the issue and hear the latest analyst insights and general trends that affect both CLECs and ILECs
• About mechanisms for collecting access fees and strategies for making sure that you won’t be disputed
• About billing reciprocal compensation to wireless companies and other CLECs
• About other issues facing all LECs concerning intercarrier access

Overall, you’ll learn to be better prepared for the phantom.
