Origination of a service that is switched in a class 4 switch (toll office switch) or an interexchange switch that performs an equivalent function ends when the transmission enters the switch. Termination of the service begins when the transmission leaves the switch. However, switching in a class 4 switch or transmission between class 4 switches that is not considered interexchange may be considered origination or termination for purposes of this chapter. Origination and termination do not include the use of any part of a line, trunk, or switch that is not owned or leased by a telecommunications company.
Origination of a service other than a service that is switched in a class 4 switch or a switch that performs an equivalent function ends and termination of the service begins at a point of demarcation that corresponds with the point of demarcation that is used for a service that is switched in a class 4 switch or a switch that performs an equivalent function.
