Can someone explain who determines how "calling" (aka credit) card
charges are billed?  I have a USWest card (Minneapolis RBOC).  Almost
all calls I make using it, e.g., from either East coast or West coast
back to Minneapolis, show up on my AT&T bill.  Recently I made a
couple of calls between Virginia and Maryland using it, both ends
within the DC LATA.  Those calls showed up on my local (USWest) bill.
If the DC RBOC (C&P) can manage to get the bill sent back to USWest,
why can't AT&T???
