No, they have to deliver the call.
One thing you have to keep in mind is that smaller, intra-LATA LECs (as
opposed to the national CLECs/IXCs) pass LD traffic to IXCs of one sort
or another, and that's who actually gets billed the access. So, the LEC
might itself have a blended or decked rate from the IXC and can price a
derivative of that.
Trunking customers cherry-picking expensive rate centers from a plan
offered them retail as blended is a big problem, though.
