text: Originating access revenue increased in 2003 due in part to a shift from interstate to intrastate traffic. On similar traffic 
  volume in both years, the Company generated an additional $0.4 million due to a favorable rate differential of $0.03 
  per minute on the increase in the mix of intrastate traffic. The Company’s increased access revenue was also a result of 
  the benefit gained through terminating more minutes through the switch, which increased 36.0 million minutes or 
  35.7% over 2002. The rates for terminating traffic were similar in both years, although the percentage of terminating 
  traffic to total traffic increased from 58% in 2002 to 65% in 2003. 
  
  The shift in originating traffic is the result of implementing software capable of identifying actual interstate and 
  intrastate traffic specifically delivered to the wireline switch, where previously usage was allocated between interstate 
  and intrastate traffic types by the interexchange carriers. 
  
  The following table shows the access traffic minutes of use for the two years of 2003 and 2002.
