This is a matter where you really need a telecom lawyer with knowledge of
your state.

What we found is you really need to avoid hitting that interconnected VoIP
requirement. As for how you do that, check with your lawyers.
Once we crossed that it's been a chain of paperwork that seems to never
end. Going beyond "just" paying USF (and it sucks when your bookkeeper
forgets to account for interest and your licensed backhaul applications are
held up for pennies) you have recordkeeping requirements, compliance
requirements for customer information, and now some kind procedure for
accessibility by persons with disabilities.
That's just the federal level. Once your state public service people see
your FCC 499 (from USF) you might be hearing from them about more paperwork.
