ALLTEL's DEM Allocation Factor Background DEM factors are used in calculating access services costs and in allocating local switching equipment investment costs between the interstate and intrastate jurisdictions. DEMs are defined in section 36.125(a)(3) of the Commission's rules as the minutes of holding time of the originating and terminating local switching equipment. For each one-minute call, there is one minute during which the switching equipment originating the call is in use (an originating minute), and one minute during which the terminating switching equipment is in use (a terminating minute). The interstate DEM factor is

Of course, generally speaking, separations will follow jurisdiction. This basic norm is inherent in the separations formulas found at 47 C.F.R. § 36.125(a)(3), (a)(5) & (b), the Supreme Court's decision in Smith v. Illinois Bell Tel.
