Merged Contract Might be 2 Agreements in 1 Document

摘要

Don't expect your merged-MARC contract to be a neat marriage of your former local and LD contracts, Lee warns. Instead, you'll get a "hybrid" contract - one Word document that includes the two agreements, one after the other. There is some legal rationale for part of the duplication: Carriers must have separate terms and conditions for LD and local services because they're regulated differently, Lee says. LD is detariffed and governed by the FCC, while some local services are tariffed by state public utility commissions, he explains.
