Contributors to the Federal Universal Service Support Mechanisms for

Resale [Line 115] from Telecommunications Revenues from Service

Provided to End Users [Line 116] (carrier's carrier vs. end-user)

In the Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet, filers must report revenues using two broad categories:

(1) revenues from contributing resellers, intercarrier compensation, and universal service support and

(2) revenues from all other sources. Taken together, these revenues should include all revenues billed to

customers and should include all revenues on the reporting entities’ books of account. The FCC Form 499-

A instructions provide more extensive information about each of these categories and are incorporated by

reference in these instructions. Filers who are not familiar with the more explicit descriptions provided in

Section IV.C.4 of the annual Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet (FCC Form 499-A) instructions

should familiarize themselves with those instructions before completing this form.

Revenues from services provided by underlying carriers to other entities that meet the definition of

“reseller” (see below) are referred to herein as “carrier’s carrier revenues” or “revenues from resellers.”

Revenues from all other sources consist primarily of revenues from services provided to end users,

See 47 U.S.C. § 153(2).
