Pay Telephone Reclassification and Compensation Provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 introduces new rules for payphone compensation, requiring facilities-based long distance carriers to compensate payphone service providers for completed calls on their platforms. The Commission establishes a payment mechanism for switch-based resellers to compensate PSPs, which must track calls and report to PSPs.
