                                              Intercarrier Compensation
                                              Regime to Eliminate Access
                                              Arbitrage (WC Docket No.
                                              18-155).
                                             Summary: The Commission
                                              will consider a Second
                                              Report and Order, which
                                              would modify its Access
                                              Stimulation Rules to close
                                              a perceived loophole
                                              exploited by opportunistic
                                              access-stimulating
                                              entities to continue to
                                              inflate access charges
                                              paid by interexchange
                                              carriers. The Order would
                                              make this inefficient
                                              practice less attractive
                                              to arbitrageurs and help
                                              prevent interexchange
                                              carriers' end-user
                                              customers from bearing
                                              costs for services they
                                              may not even use.
