DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS	'
	1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
	Organization — Inteliquent, Inc. (the Company) provides U.S. and international voice telecommunications services primarily on a wholesale basis. The Company offers these services using an all-IP network, which enables the Company to deliver global connectivity for a variety of media, historically including voice, data and video. The Company’s solutions enable carriers and other providers to deliver telecommunications traffic or other services where they do not have their own network or elect not to use their own network. These solutions are sometimes called “off-net” services.
	On April 30, 2013, the Company sold its global data business to Global Telecom & Technology, Inc. (GTT) for $54.5 million, subject to certain adjustments. The total consideration consisted of $52.5 million in cash, subject to net working capital adjustments, and $2.0 million of non-cash commercial IP Transit and point-to-point Ethernet data network services to be provided to the Company by GTT free-of-charge for a three-year period. The $2.0 million of non-cash commercial services was calculated based upon the discounted present value of the market cost of such services as of the date on which the commercial services agreement was signed with GTT. In addition, the Company recorded in its condensed consolidated statements of operations, as part of its gain amount on the sale of its global data business, approximately $2.4 million for divestiture-related costs, including legal and advisory services.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Principles of Consolidation — The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2012 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Certain prior-year amounts that are related to the Company’s discontinued operations have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
	In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated statements and reflect all adjustments, which are normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of its statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any subsequent quarter, for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
	The carrying amounts of our cash and equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
	Changes in Presentation — On April 30, 2013, the Company sold its global data business to GTT for $54.5 million, subject to certain adjustments. The Company determined that the appropriate level in which to assess discontinued operations was at its reporting unit level. As such, the Company’s Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific (APAC) reporting units of the global data business consist of results of operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the entity and are therefore reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as discontinued operations. Historical information related to these reporting units have been reclassified accordingly. The Americas reporting unit of the global data business does not consist of results of operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity. This reporting unit does not qualify for discontinued operations accounting treatment. Therefore, the Americas reporting unit of the global data business is reported in continuing operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 9, “Dispositions and Discontinued Operations”, for more information regarding the sale of the global data business.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. At September 30, 2013, the Company had $21.3 million of cash in banks and $41.8 million in three money market mutual funds. At December 31, 2012, the Company had $30.7 million of cash in banks and $0.8 million in two money market mutual funds.
	Property and Equipment — Property and equipment is recorded at cost. These values are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets using the straight-line method. Any gains and losses from the disposition of property and equipment are included in operations as incurred. The estimated useful life for network equipment and tools and test equipment is five years. The estimated useful life for computer equipment, computer software and furniture and fixtures is three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of five years or the life of the lease, whichever is less. The impairment of long-lived assets is periodically evaluated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that a potential impairment has occurred.
	Revenue Recognition — The Company generates revenue from sales of its voice services. The Company maintains tariffs and executed service agreements with each of its customers in which specific fees and rates are determined. Voice revenue is recorded each month on an accrual basis based upon minutes of traffic switched by the Company’s network by each customer, which is referred to as minutes of use. The rates charged per minute are determined by contracts between the Company and its customers, or by filed and effective tariffs.
	IP Transit and Ethernet services revenues related to the Company’s Americas reporting unit are recorded each month on an accrual basis based upon bandwidth used by each customer. The rates charged are the total of a monthly fee for bandwidth (the Committed Traffic Rate) plus additional charges for the sustained peak bandwidth used monthly in excess of the Committed Traffic Rate.
	Earnings (Loss) per Share — Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and participating securities outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and participating securities outstanding adjusted by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding during the period had the potentially dilutive securities been issued.
	The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock:

	Diluted — as reported	$	0.2	$	(0.09	)	$	1.44		$	0.24
	Outstanding share-based awards of 2.4 million, 2.7 million, 2.4 million and 2.7 million were outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been antidilutive.
	The undistributed earnings allocable to participating securities were $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The undistributed earnings allocable to participating securities were $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
	Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This model takes into account the exercise price of the stock option, the fair value of the common stock underlying the stock option as measured on the date of grant and an estimation of the volatility of the common stock underlying the stock option. Such value is recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures, using the straight line method. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class and historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ from the Company’s current estimates.
	The amount of non-cash share-based expense recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The amount of non-cash share-based expense recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $5.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively.
	Compensation expense for non-vested shares is measured based upon the quoted closing market price for the stock on the date of grant. The compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. See Note 5, “Stock Options and Non-Vested Shares.”
	Stock Repurchase — On August 7, 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock as part of a stock repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 0.3 million shares for $1.6 million under the program at an average cost of $5.80 per share. The Company funded the purchase of the common shares using cash on hand. The stock repurchase was accounted for under the cost method, whereby the entire cost of the repurchased shares was recorded to treasury stock.
	Business Interruption Insurance Claims and Recoveries — On October 29, 2012, as a result of Hurricane Sandy, the Company’s the New York switch site lost power from the utility company. Utility company power did not come back on-line until November 27, 2012. The Company carries business interruption coverage for certain lost profits and extra expenses associated with such events. On September 30, 2013, the Company received a correspondence from its insurance carrier approving a total net payment of $0.4 million, net of a $0.1 million deductible. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has recorded the expected payment of $0.4 million within its accounts receivable. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the $0.4 million insurance recovery was recorded within general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
	Foreign Currency Translation — As a result of the sale of global data business, the Company now operates only within the United States and is no longer exposed to any significant foreign currency risk.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02). ASU 2013-02 requires entities to disclose additional information about reclassification adjustments, including changes in accumulated other comprehensive income balances by component and significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company has complied with this disclosure requirement, and as a result, the amendment did not change the items reported in its other comprehensive income (loss) or when an item of its other comprehensive income (loss) is reclassified to net income.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS	'
	3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
	From time to time, the Company is a party to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its business. Aside from the matters discussed below, the Company does not believe that it is a party to any pending legal action that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on its business or operating results, financial position or cash flows.
	Customer Dispute
	The Company has a dispute with a carrier to which it provides certain voice services. The carrier is one of the Company’s largest customers and claims the Company has been improperly billing a certain tariffed rate element. The customer alleges that the improper billings total approximately $6 million. The Company has not been provided with sufficient information to allow the Company to understand how the customer calculated the disputed amount, believes the entire claim is without merit and intends to vigorously contest it. However, the Company cannot predict the final outcome and impact of this dispute. The Company establishes accruals only for those matters where it determines that a loss is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not currently believe a loss is probable in connection with this dispute.
	Internal Investigation
	As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company reported a $75.3 million impairment of goodwill and other intangibles charge, a $13.2 million impairment of fixed assets charge, and a net loss of $78.1 million, in each case for the year ended December 31, 2012. During the second quarter of 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company determined that an internal investigation of whether such impairment charge was overstated should be undertaken by the Audit Committee with the assistance of independent outside professionals. During the same time period, the Board of Directors also determined that the Audit Committee, with the assistance of independent outside professionals, should conduct an internal investigation of the Company’s financial forecasting practices during the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013.
	On August 23, 2013, the Company announced that the Audit Committee completed its investigation. With the assistance of independent outside professionals, the Audit Committee found that no restatement of the Company’s previously issued financial statements nor any action relating to the Company’s previous financial forecasts is required. The Company incurred approximately $2.4 million of professional and legal expenses related to the investigation and reported this amount as part of general and administrative expense within its condensed consolidated statements of operations.
	Federal Securities Class Action
	As a result of the then-ongoing internal investigation described above, on August 12, 2013, the Company submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission a Notification of Late Filing pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), in respect of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2013. On August 13, 2013, the Company received a deficiency letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, stating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) for failure to timely file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2013. On August 29, 2013, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, informing the Company that it had regained compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards. The late filing of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2013, has adversely affected the Company’s eligibility to use Registration Statements on Form S-3 for registration of its securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Use of Form S-3 requires, among other things, that the issuer be current and timely in its reports under the Exchange Act for at least twelve months. Because of the Company’s inability to use Form S-3, the Company will have to meet more demanding requirements to register additional securities, which could make it more difficult for the Company to effect public offering transactions, and the Company’s range of available financing alternatives could also be narrowed.
	On August 9, 2013, a federal securities class action lawsuit was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Costas Stamatiades, individually and on behalf of All Other Persons Similarly Situated v. Inteliquent, Inc., f/k/a Neutral Tandem Inc., G. Edward Evans, Robert Junkroski, and David Zwick, 13-CV-5701). The plaintiff alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder relating to the matters addressed in the Audit Committee’s internal investigation. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this lawsuit. No reasonable estimate of the loss, if any, associated with this litigation is possible.

The Company’s estimated effective income tax rate was 38.9% and 13.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to 167.9% benefit and 9.9% for the same respective periods last year.
	The difference in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 is due primarily to the effect of the treatment of the sale of the global data business for tax purposes.
	During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the capital loss created by the sale of its global data business and Illinois EDGE Credit, respectively. The Company believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon whether the Company can generate future taxable income in the appropriate jurisdiction to utilize the assets. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable is subject to adjustment in future periods.

STOCK OPTIONS AND NON-VESTED SHARES	'
	5. STOCK OPTIONS AND NON-VESTED SHARES
	In 2003, the Company established the 2003 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan (2003 Plan), which provided for the issuance of up to 4.7 million options and non-vested shares to eligible employees, officers and independent contractors of the Company. In 2007, the Company adopted the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (2007 Plan) and ceased awarding equity grants under the 2003 Plan. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had granted a total of 3.0 million options and 0.6 million non-vested shares that remained outstanding under the 2007 Plan. Awards for 1.0 million shares, representing approximately 3.2% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of September 30, 2013, remained available for additional grants under the 2007 Plan.
	The Company records stock-based compensation expense in connection with any grant of options and non-vested shares to its employees. The Company calculates the expense associated with its stock options and non-vested shares by determining the fair value of the options and non-vested shares.
	Options
	All options granted under the 2003 Plan and the 2007 Plan have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company did not grant any options. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company granted 0.7 million options at a weighted-average exercise price of $3.40. During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company granted less than 0.1 million options at a weighted-average exercise price of $11.75.
	The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following table summarizes the assumptions used for estimating the fair value of options for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012:
		September 30,			September 30,
		2013			2012
	Expected life		7.3	years		7.2	years
	Risk-free interest rate		1.3	%		1.6	%
	Expected dividends		—			—
	Volatility		45	%		50.5	%
	The weighted-average fair value of options granted, as determined by using the Black-Scholes valuation model, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1.64 and $11.75, respectively. The total grant date fair value of options that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $2.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value (market value of stock option less option exercise price) of stock options exercised was $0.7 million and $4.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	The following table summarizes activity under the Company’s stock option plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2013:
		Shares			Weighted-			Aggregate		Weighted-

	Exercisable — September 30, 2013		2,292		$	15.53		$	619		5.3
	The unrecognized compensation cost associated with options outstanding at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $2.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively. The weighted average remaining term that the compensation will be recorded was 2.3 years and 1.8 years as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
	Non-vested Shares
	During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company granted less than 0.1 million and 0.3 million non-vested shares, respectively, to members of the Company’s executive management team as well as various employees within the Company. No shares were issued during the three months ended September 30, 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company granted 0.3 million non-vested shares to members of the Company’s executive management team as well as various employees within the Company. The non-vested shares were issued as part of the 2007 Plan. The shares typically vest over a four-year period. The fair value of the non-vested shares is determined using the Company’s closing stock price on the grant date. Compensation cost, measured using the grant date fair value, is recognized over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis.
	A summary of the Company’s non-vested share activity and related information for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is as follows:
		Shares			Weighted-			Aggregate
		0			Average			Intrinsic
					Grant Date			Value
					Fair Value			$0
	Non-vested shares outstanding — January 1, 2013		846		$	11.31
	Granted		314			5.1
	Vested		(341	)		11.23
	Cancelled		(259	)		6.79
	Non-vested shares outstanding — September 30, 2013		560		$	10.03		$	5,410
	Non-vested shares vested or expected to vest — September 30, 2013		524		$	10.03		$	5,062
	The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value based on the Company’s closing stock price of $9.66 on September 30, 2013. The amount changes based upon the fair market value of the Company’s common stock.
	The unrecognized compensation cost associated with non-vested shares at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $4.5 million and $8.4 million, respectively. The weighted average remaining term that the compensation will be recorded was 1.8 years and 2.3 years as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

DISPOSITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS	'
	9. DISPOSITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
	On April 30, 2013, the Company sold its global data business to GTT and, as a result, no longer provides data services. The transaction consisted of the Americas, EMEA and APAC reporting units’ data assets and liabilities. The Americas reporting unit of the global data business did not qualify for discontinued operations because it did not constitute a separate component of the Company. The data activity associated with the Americas reporting unit is reported in continuing operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The data activity associated with the EMEA and APAC reporting units is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as discontinued operations. Historical information related to these reporting units has been reclassified accordingly.
	The Company sold its global data business for $54.5 million which consisted of $52.5 million in cash, subject to net working capital adjustments, and $2.0 million of non-cash commercial services to be provided by GTT to the Company over a three-year period. After an initial net working capital reduction of $3.3 million, the Company received $51.2 million of cash and non-cash services from GTT. Transaction costs and additional net working capital adjustment amounted to approximately $2.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, reducing cash and non-cash consideration to approximately $47.8 million. Of this amount, $37.9 million was allocated to the sale of the Americas reporting unit of the global data business and the remaining amount of $9.9 million was allocated to the EMEA and APAC reporting units of the global data business. The Company based its allocation of the $47.8 million amounts based upon the relative percentage of the fair value of the net total assets and total liabilities of the Americas reporting unit and the EMEA and APAC reporting units, to the total fair value of the net total assets and total liabilities of these three reporting units combined.
	The Company and GTT disagree over the amount of the net working capital and other reconciliation amounts related to GTT’s purchase of the Company’s global data business. Pursuant to certain post-closing purchase price adjustment provisions in the agreement governing the sale of the Company’s global data business to GTT, GTT is claiming that the Company owes GTT $3.8 million. The Company, however, currently believes that GTT owes the Company $1.1 million. The parties are currently in discussions to resolve their differences with respect to the post-closing adjustments to the purchase price. If the parties are unable to resolve their differences through negotiations, a neutral third party accounting firm will hear and decide the matter. No reasonable estimate of the actual payment to be received from GTT or made to GTT associated with this matter is possible.
	Dispositions Not Qualifying for Discontinued Operations
	The net book basis of the assets and liabilities for the Americas reporting unit of the global data business at the date of sale was approximately $14.7 million. The purchase price allocation of $37.9 million for this portion of the global data business, less its net book basis of assets and liabilities, yielded a gain from sale of $23.2 million.
	Discontinued Operations
	The net book basis of the assets and liabilities for the EMEA and APAC reporting units of the global data business at the date of sale was approximately $10.1 million. In addition, the Company is entitled to approximately $1.0 million of cash that remained with the EMEA and APAC reporting units of the global data business at the time of the transaction. The purchase price allocation of $9.9 million for this portion of the global data business plus the additional $1.0 million of cash, less its net book basis assets and liabilities, yielded a gain from discontinued operations of $0.8 million.
	The following table displays summarized activity in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for discontinued operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2013
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation — The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2012 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Certain prior-year amounts that are related to the Company’s discontinued operations have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
	In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated statements and reflect all adjustments, which are normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of its statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any subsequent quarter, for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
	The carrying amounts of our cash and equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
Changes in Presentation	'
	Changes in Presentation — On April 30, 2013, the Company sold its global data business to GTT for $54.5 million, subject to certain adjustments. The Company determined that the appropriate level in which to assess discontinued operations was at its reporting unit level. As such, the Company’s Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific (APAC) reporting units of the global data business consist of results of operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the entity and are therefore reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as discontinued operations. Historical information related to these reporting units have been reclassified accordingly. The Americas reporting unit of the global data business does not consist of results of operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity. This reporting unit does not qualify for discontinued operations accounting treatment. Therefore, the Americas reporting unit of the global data business is reported in continuing operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 9, “Dispositions and Discontinued Operations”, for more information regarding the sale of the global data business.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. At September 30, 2013, the Company had $21.3 million of cash in banks and $41.8 million in three money market mutual funds. At December 31, 2012, the Company had $30.7 million of cash in banks and $0.8 million in two money market mutual funds.
Property and Equipment	'
	Property and Equipment — Property and equipment is recorded at cost. These values are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets using the straight-line method. Any gains and losses from the disposition of property and equipment are included in operations as incurred. The estimated useful life for network equipment and tools and test equipment is five years. The estimated useful life for computer equipment, computer software and furniture and fixtures is three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of five years or the life of the lease, whichever is less. The impairment of long-lived assets is periodically evaluated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that a potential impairment has occurred.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition — The Company generates revenue from sales of its voice services. The Company maintains tariffs and executed service agreements with each of its customers in which specific fees and rates are determined. Voice revenue is recorded each month on an accrual basis based upon minutes of traffic switched by the Company’s network by each customer, which is referred to as minutes of use. The rates charged per minute are determined by contracts between the Company and its customers, or by filed and effective tariffs.
	IP Transit and Ethernet services revenues related to the Company’s Americas reporting unit are recorded each month on an accrual basis based upon bandwidth used by each customer. The rates charged are the total of a monthly fee for bandwidth (the Committed Traffic Rate) plus additional charges for the sustained peak bandwidth used monthly in excess of the Committed Traffic Rate.
Earnings (Loss) per Share	'
	Earnings (Loss) per Share — Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and participating securities outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and participating securities outstanding adjusted by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding during the period had the potentially dilutive securities been issued.
	The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock:

	Outstanding share-based awards of 2.4 million, 2.7 million, 2.4 million and 2.7 million were outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been antidilutive.
	The undistributed earnings allocable to participating securities were $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The undistributed earnings allocable to participating securities were $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation	'
	Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This model takes into account the exercise price of the stock option, the fair value of the common stock underlying the stock option as measured on the date of grant and an estimation of the volatility of the common stock underlying the stock option. Such value is recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures, using the straight line method. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class and historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ from the Company’s current estimates.
	The amount of non-cash share-based expense recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The amount of non-cash share-based expense recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $5.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively.
	Compensation expense for non-vested shares is measured based upon the quoted closing market price for the stock on the date of grant. The compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. See Note 5, “Stock Options and Non-Vested Shares.”
Stock Repurchase	'
	Stock Repurchase — On August 7, 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock as part of a stock repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 0.3 million shares for $1.6 million under the program at an average cost of $5.80 per share. The Company funded the purchase of the common shares using cash on hand. The stock repurchase was accounted for under the cost method, whereby the entire cost of the repurchased shares was recorded to treasury stock.
Business Interruption Insurance Claims and Recoveries	'
	Business Interruption Insurance Claims and Recoveries — On October 29, 2012, as a result of Hurricane Sandy, the Company’s the New York switch site lost power from the utility company. Utility company power did not come back on-line until November 27, 2012. The Company carries business interruption coverage for certain lost profits and extra expenses associated with such events. On September 30, 2013, the Company received a correspondence from its insurance carrier approving a total net payment of $0.4 million, net of a $0.1 million deductible. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has recorded the expected payment of $0.4 million within its accounts receivable. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the $0.4 million insurance recovery was recorded within general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Foreign Currency Translation	'
	Foreign Currency Translation — As a result of the sale of global data business, the Company now operates only within the United States and is no longer exposed to any significant foreign currency risk.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02). ASU 2013-02 requires entities to disclose additional information about reclassification adjustments, including changes in accumulated other comprehensive income balances by component and significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company has complied with this disclosure requirement, and as a result, the amendment did not change the items reported in its other comprehensive income (loss) or when an item of its other comprehensive income (loss) is reclassified to net income.
