Intercarrier Settlement Revenues
With the ever increasing financial pressures on Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) operations, earning sufficient revenues to support intercarrier activities is critical to meet long term goals. Martin Group analyzes existing settlements, projects cost-based settlements, determines cost settlements feasibility, and coordinates NECA settlements conversion.

Feasibility Studies
Martin Group consultants have extensive experience working with Local Exchange Carriers (LECs), as well as companies not previously in the LEC business, who want to establish a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) enterprise. We will help you by preparing a CLEC Feasibility Study that provides a pro forma business plan (income statement, cash flow statement and a trial balance worksheet). The study considers the investment, revenue, regulatory, operations and expense issues that are typically encountered in the operation of a CLEC. Generally, our clients use the CLEC study that Martin Group prepares to help them acquire financing for their project.

Tariff Services
As telecommunications providers offer new enhanced services or make changes to existing services, it is vital that tariffs and price lists remain consistent with the services being offered. Martin Group's Carrier Revenue Group has the experience and expertise to assist with the development and on-going maintenance of Access Tariffs, Local Tariffs, and Long Distance Tariffs.

NECA Services
Access charges account for 60-70% of a typical independent telephone company's total revenue. Martin Group helps telephone companies get the revenue that's due them. Through intrastate and interstate cost studies and settlements reviews, we help determine what a company's revenue requirements are.
