"On February 27, 2004, Inflexion Communications (Inflexion) filed a petition for declaratory ruling that its ExtendIP voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) service provided to underserved markets is exempt from access charges and may lawfully be provided over end user local services.1 Inflexion asserts that its ExtendIP service provides customers in underserved markets with ?Plain Old Telephone Service, plus more? and it therefore fits only in part within the functional test for telecommunications service in the Stevens Report.2 Inflexion defines the underserved, or periphery, markets as ?regions with an aggregate telephone density below the national average, low-income consumers, other authorized recipients of state or federal [universal service program] grants and discounts, and entities that in turn provide service to the target population.?3 Inflexion says that it will deliver Internet Protocol connectivity to these markets through various methods, including free space optics, point-to-point and point-to-multipoint unlicensed wireless, coaxial cable, fiber, and dry copper.4 Inflexion seeks a declaratory ruling to clarify uncertainty that would deter Inflexion?s investment in developing services for the underserved market."
