Reciprocal Compensation for Termination of Local Traffic Clause Samples
The Reciprocal Compensation for Termination of Local Traffic clause establishes the obligation for telecommunications carriers to compensate each other for the delivery and termination of local calls that originate on one network and end on another. In practice, this means that when a customer of Carrier A calls a customer of Carrier B within the same local area, Carrier A pays Carrier B a fee for completing the call. This arrangement ensures that both parties are fairly compensated for the use of their networks and resources. The core function of this clause is to allocate costs equitably between carriers and to prevent disputes over the handling and financial responsibility for local call traffic.
