S.D. Admin. R. 20:10:29:10
A charge that is expressed in dollars and cents per access minute of use is assessed on all users of switched access that use local exchange common line facilities for the provision of intrastate telecommunications services. However, the charge may not be assessed on interexchange carriers to the extent that they resell message toll service (MTS) or MTS-type services of other common carriers. For purposes of this rule the term "open end" of a call describes the origination or termination of a call that utilizes exchange carrier common line plant. A call may have no, one, or two open ends. All open end minutes on calls with one open end, such as an 800 or foreign exchange call, may be treated as terminating minutes.
A per minute charge is computed by dividing the annual intrastate carrier common line revenue requirement by the annual intrastate carrier common line minutes of use. The per minute charge is equal for both originating and terminating traffic.
