For the purposes of telecommunications sourcing:
(1) Except for the defined telecommunication services in item (3), the sale of telecommunication service sold on a call-by-call basis must be sourced to (i) each level of taxing jurisdiction where the call originates and terminates in that jurisdiction or (ii) each level of taxing jurisdiction where the call either originates or terminates and in which the service address is also located.
(2) Except for the defined telecommunication services in item (3), a sale of telecommunications services on a basis other than a call-by-call basis, is sourced to the customer's place of primary use.
(3) The sale of the following telecommunication services must be sourced to each level of taxing jurisdiction:
(a) A sale of mobile telecommunications services, other than air-to- ground radiotelephone service and prepaid calling service, is sourced to the customer's place of primary use as required by the Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing Act.
(b) A sale of post-paid calling service is sourced to the origination point of the telecommunications signal as first identified by either (i) the seller's telecommunications system, or (ii) information received by the seller from its service provider, where the system used to transport the signals is not that of the seller.
(c) A sale of a private communication service is sourced as follows:
(i) Service for a separate charge related to a customer channel termination point is sourced to each level of jurisdiction in which the customer channel termination point is located.
(ii) Service in which all customer termination points are located entirely within one jurisdiction or levels of jurisdiction is sourced in the jurisdiction in which the customer channel termination points are located.
(iii) Service for segments of a channel between two customer channel termination points located in different jurisdictions and the segments of channel are separately charged is sourced fifty percent in each level of jurisdiction in which the customer channel termination points are located.
(iv) Service for segments of a channel located in more than one jurisdiction or levels of jurisdiction and the segments are not separately billed is sourced in each jurisdiction based on the percentage determined by dividing the number of customer channel termination points in the jurisdiction by the total number of customer channel termination points.
