The SLC is a flat-rated charge imposed by LECs on end users to recover the interstate-allocated portion of local loop costs. The SLC is also referred to as the end user common line charge. See 47 C.F.R. § 69.152. Section 332(c)(3)(A) provides in pertinent part that ``. . . no State or local government shall have nay authority to regulate . . . the rates charged by any commercial mobile radio service or any private mobile radio service, except that this paragraph shall not prohibit a State from regulating the other terms and conditions of commercial mobile services.'' 47
