We currently have a PRI with a clec that offers included local lata calling
and 2.9 in Calif and 1.9 interstate. We'd like to find a clec that includes
LD as well as lata calls.

Does anyone know of a reputable clec with a POP in the Los Angeles area that
offers such flat rate calling?

Thanks in advance
Dave

I haven't seen any telco that offers the same rate for your inter-lata
out of state, inter-lata or intra-lata in state, and intra-lata. They
all do this split billing rate that I've found, probably because the
FCC encourages it in their setup.

You'd probably have to go VOIP to get to some telco that will be flat
rate anywhere, because then they can shuffle around which telco
actually terminates the call to to be whatever reaches the best for
those particular calls for the cheapest rate, without having to follow
the FCC model.

Or eventually, in about 5 years, we probably won't have to pay LD
rates at all in North America, but we'll see.

It isn't the FCC, per se. It is because intrastate call rates are
regulated by the PUC. Intrastate rates are regulated, or not, by the FCC.
What this says about intrastate rates being higher is left as an exercise.
