Meet-Point Billing (MPB) Clause Samples
The Meet-Point Billing (MPB) clause establishes a method for allocating charges between telecommunications carriers when a call traverses the networks of multiple providers. Under this arrangement, each carrier bills the other for the portion of the call that passes through its network, typically based on a predetermined meet point where the networks interconnect. For example, if a call originates on one carrier’s network and terminates on another’s, both carriers use the MPB system to determine their respective charges for the call. This clause ensures that each carrier is fairly compensated for the use of its network infrastructure, streamlining billing processes and reducing disputes over intercarrier compensation.
