Not quite.

It refers to the contiguous 48 States that make up the US mainland.
Alaska and Hawaii, whilst States, are separated by either another
country or large amounts of ocean.

Places like Key West whilst technically are over 50 miles from the
mainland are considered part of the Lower 48/US48

US48 almost certainly refers to the 48 contiguous states, as previously 
suggested, *not* to a modular jack.

There are, however, several versions of RJ48 (not often seen in the real 
world) specified in the Universal Service Ordering Code (USOC).  
Wikipedia has a fairly useful introduction:

It means that plus District of Columbia and probably anything else
contained within the 48 states.

If I had 47 siblings it could also mean us 48

Could someone explain to a non-US dummy the following phrases I have
seen on the list.

I can provide you with tier 1 termination 6/6.  I can blend or
NPANXX breakout.

We provide US48 termination, blended rate for 1 MOU and above is
.008 with 6/6.


What is 6/6?
2/3 devil?
Normally I would take that to be minimum 6 second billiing and
billed in 6 seconds increments.
 
What is US48?
Contentinal US, lower 48, all states by Alaska and Hawaii.

What is blended?
What you do with ice, alchohol, and a mixer

What is 6/6?


Each MOU (see below) is billed in fractions of a minute.  6/6 means  
they will round the call up to the nearest 6 second (1/10th of a  
minute) increment.  So a call that lasts 75 seconds will be billed as  
78 seconds.



What is US48?


United States 48 States.  All states except Alaska  Hawaii


What is blended?


There are different rates depending on if your endpoint is a cell  
phone, on a CLEC, on an RBOC switch.  They could charge you in each  
rate separately which will be more accurate but harder to manage.   
Blended means they will average the rates based on normal calling  
patterns.  Blended is easier to manage because it is one rate but if  
all of your calls are going to residential customers, which are  
almost all RBOC owned customers you can do better with an unblended rate


What is MOU?


Minutes Of Use.


What is NPANXX breakout?


My guess is they can get your DIDs from all over the country.
