S.D. Admin. R. 20:10:29:16.01
A carrier's carrier that offers tandem-switched transport and direct-trunked transport pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 69 (October 1, 1993) may structure its transport charges as provided in §§ 20:10:29:16.02 to 20:10:29:16.05, inclusive, instead of applying the per-minute charge described in § 20:10:29:16. Each charge is equal for both originating and terminating traffic.
Tandem-switched transport between a serving wire center and an end office consists of circuits dedicated to the use of a single interexchange carrier or other person from the serving wire center to the tandem and circuits used in common by multiple interexchange carriers or other persons from the tandem to the end office. The dedicated link does not exist if the serving wire center and the tandem are located in the same place.
