More specifically, A. The Court finds and DECLARES that the Kentucky Public Service Commissions resolution of Issues 1 and 9 is inconsistent with 47 U.S.C. § 251(b)(5) and the requirement of FCC Rules and Decisions that a landline carrier pay reciprocal compensation to a wireless carrier for landline-originated traffic that terminates to a wireless carrier in the same Major Trading Area, whether or not the call is also transported by an intermediary carrier. 47 C.F.R. § 51.701(b)(2) (2008).B. The Court finds and DECLARES that the Kentucky Public Service Commissions resolution of Issue 2 is not inconsistent with 47 U.S.C. § 251(a)(1) or the requirement of FCC Rules and Decisions that a landline carrier provide the type of interconnection reasonably requested by a wireless carrier to the extent that it determined thatthe use of one trunk for the traffic of all twelve RLECs was not economically reasonable. However, this issue is REMANDED to the Commission to provide factual support for its determination and/or choice of DS1 (or some other level of traffic) as the threshold leve l requiring a dedicated trunk line.C. The Court finds and DECLARES that the Kentucky Public Service Commissions resolution of Issues 5, 7 and 8 is inconsistent with 47 U.S.C. § 251(a)(1) and the requirement of FCC Rules and Decisions that the ca lling-partys network is required to pay the costs of transporting its traffic to the network of the terminating carrier. 47 C.F.R. § 51.703(b)(2008).D.
