§ 63.17 Special provisions for U.S. international common carriers.
(a) Unless otherwise prohibited by the terms of its Section 214 certificate,
a U.S. common carrier authorized under this part to provide international
private line service, whether as a reseller or facilities-based carrier, may
interconnect its authorized private lines to the public switched network on
behalf of an end user customer for the end user customer's own use.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (b)(4) of this section, a U.S. common
carrier, whether a reseller or facilities-based carrier, may engage in
“switched hubbing” to countries provided the carrier complies with the
following conditions:
(1) U.S.-outbound switched traffic shall be routed over the carrier's
authorized U.S. international circuits extending between the United States
and a country that is exempt from the international settlements policy
(i.e., the “hub” country), and then forwarded to the third country only by
taking at published rates and reselling the international message telephone
service (IMTS) of a carrier in the hub country;
(2) U.S.-inbound switched traffic shall be carried to a country that is
exempt from the international settlements policy (i.e., the “hub” country)
as part of the IMTS traffic flow from a third country and then terminated in
the United States over the carrier's authorized U.S. international circuits
extending between the United States and the hub country.
Note to paragraph (b): The Commission's list of international routes
exempted from the international settlements policy is available on the
International Bureau's World Wide Web site at http://www.fcc.gov/ib.
(3) Authorized carriers filing tariffs pursuant to § § 61.19 or 61.28 of this
chapter that route U.S.-billed traffic via switched hubbing shall tariff
their service on a “through” basis between the United States and the
ultimate point of origination or termination;
(4) No U.S. common carrier may engage in switched hubbing to or from a third
country where it has an affiliation with a foreign carrier unless and until
it has received authority to serve that country under § 63.18(e)(1), (e)(2),
or (e)(3).
