The report lists 5,428 companies registered to provide interstate telecommunications as of November 2006, as compared to 5,632 companies as of October 2005. For each of these providers, the report identifies whether it reported revenue for local, wireless, payphone, operator and prepaid calling card, or other toll services, and whether it contributed to support universal service. The report also provides contact information for each company. This report was compiled using information from FCC Form 499-A Telecommunications Reporting Worksheets filed by telecommunications providers. The filed worksheets are proprietary and therefore not available to the public. The report is available for reference in the FCC's Reference Information Center, Courtyard Level, 445 12th Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20554.
