County, State, and Federal agencies are implementing new processes and procedures to assure that all communications carriers are able to support them with specialized communications in emergency situations, whether customers make use of them or not. These programs have expanded significantly in recent years, and participation by all communications carriers is required.

All telephone calls move across multiple carrier networks from their point of origin to their point of completion. Every carrier charges AccessLine for the right both to connect to and transit their network. Unfortunately, many of these carriers raise both these fees on an annual basis. AccessLine prides itself on providing the best value available for business communications services. However, we are forced to pass along a small portion of these costs imposed on us by others in the industry.

Increased federal government regulatory requirements are forcing AccessLine to hire additional staff, buy large amounts of additional network equipment, and spend significant development effort to comply. As a result, AccessLine is implementing a modest increase to the Regulatory Compliance Fee in 2010.

While all carriers charge similar fees, AccessLine's fee is smaller than what other carriers charge. We prefer to let you know that this is in direct response to increased costs required of us by the government, rather than hide that fact in a general service price increase. In fact, unlike competitors, AccessLine has not raised its prices in years.
