7.1.2 Rate Categories

There are three basic rate elements which apply to Special Access Service:

- Channel Terminations (described in 7.1.2(A) following) - Channel Mileage (described in 7.1.2(B) following) - Optional Features and Functions (described in 7.1.2 (C) following)

(A) Channel Termination

The Channel Termination rate category provides for the communications path between a customer designated premises and the serving wire center or WATS Serving Office of that premises. Included as part of the Channel Termination is a standard channel interface arrangement which defines the technical characteristics associated with the type of facilities to which the access service is to be connected at the point of termination (POT) and the type of signaling capability if any. The signaling capability itself is provided as a part of this rate category. One Channel Termination charge applies per customer designated premises at which the channel is terminated. Channel Termination charges for DS1 and DS3 High Capacity Services may vary based on distance, as set forth in 7.5.8(A) following. Special Access Service used in connection with Switched Access service is provided as set forth in Section 6.1.1.

7.1.2 Rate Categories (Cont’d)

(B) Channel Mileage

The Channel Mileage rate category provides for the end office equipment and the transmission channel between the serving wire centers associated with two Customer designated premises, between a serving wire center associated with a Customer designated premises and a Telephone Company hub, between two Telephone Company hubs or between a WATS Serving Office and a Customer serving wire center when the two are not co-located. Channel Mileage rates are made up of the Channel Mileage Facility rate and the Channel Mileage Termination rate. Channel Mileage charges are set forth in Section 7.5.

(1) Channel Mileage Facility (Per Mile)

The Channel Mileage Facility rate recovers the cost for the transmission path which extends between the Telephone Company serving wire centers and/or hub(s) and includes primarily outside plant used to provide the facility.

(2) Channel Mileage Termination (Fixed)

The Channel Mileage Termination rate recovers the cost for end office equipment associated with terminating the facility (i.e., basic circuit equipment and terminations at serving wire centers and hubs). The Telephone Company applies a 50% billing percentage to the channel mileage fixed rate on jointly owned circuits, and applies 100% on wholly owned circuits. When the Channel Mileage Facility is zero (i.e., collocated serving wire centers), neither the Channel Mileage Facility rate nor the Channel Mileage Termination rate will apply.

7.2.16 Ethernet Virtual Private Line (Cont'd)

(A) Basic Service Description (Cont’d)

For each EVPL arrangement, the customer must decide the mix of applications that will be supported on that EVPL, the QoS mix that the EVPL must support and the bandwidth to be assigned for each QoS. The customer's bandwidth will be limited to the fixed speed associated with each QoS level. Therefore, total bandwidth available to support transmission of a specific QoS will depend upon the size of the customer's EVPL and the specific QoS bandwidth the customer selected for that EVPL.

A customer may select different QoS profiles for different EVPL connections that share the same network LAN, or EVPL network arrangement. However, technical limitations exist that limit the total number of different QoS profiles that can be utilized in a single EVPL network arrangement.

(B) Technical Specifications

The technical specifications for the protocols transmitted over EVPL service are delineated in the following technical publications:

7.3 Channel Interface and Network Channel Codes

Network Channel Codes are comprised of four characters. The first and second characters describe the technical specifications package within the service type. The third and fourth characters describe and specify options associated with the service. The Telephone Company abides by nationally accepted standards in its use of Network Channel Codes and are available from the Telephone Company upon request.

Channel Interface Codes describe the electrical characteristics of the interface at the customer's premises. Compatible Channel Interface codes for the requested service must be specified by the customer when ordering the services. Channel Interface codes for each category of Special Access Service can be found in the Technical Reference Publications set forth in 7.2 preceding.

7.4.6 Mileage Measurement

The mileage to be used to determine the monthly rate for the Channel Mileage Facility rate element is calculated on the airline distance between the serving wire centers involved, i.e., the serving wire centers associated with two Customer designated premises, a serving wire center associated with a Customer designated premises and a Telephone Company hub, or two Telephone Company hubs or between the serving wire center associated with a Customer designated premises, and a WATS serving office. The serving wire center associated with a Customer designated premises is the serving wire center from which the Customer designated premises would normally obtain dial tone. The V & H coordinates method is used to determine mileage. This method is explained in the National Exchange Carrier Association, Inc. Tariff F.C.C. No. 4. If the method results in fractional miles, the fractional miles are rounded up to the nearest whole number before determining the rate to be billed. The serving wire center and hub V & H coordinates are also included in that tariff. When hubs are involved, mileage is computed and rates applied separately for each section of the Channel Mileage, i.e., Customer designated premises serving wire center to hub, hub to hub and/or hub to Customer designated premises serving wire center. However, when any service routed through a hub for purposes other than Customer specified bridging or multiplexing (e.g., the Telephone Company chooses to so route for test access purposes), rates will be applied only to the distance calculated between the serving wire centers associated with the Customer designated premises.

7.4.7 Facility Hubs

A customer has the option of ordering Voice Grade service or High Capacity services to facility hub for channelizing to individual services requiring lower capacity facilities (e.g., Voice, Program Audio, etc.).

A Hub is a Telephone Company designated serving wire center at which bridging or multiplexing functions are performed. The bridging functions performed are to connect three or more customer designated premises in a multipoint arrangement. The multiplexing functions are to channelize digital facilities to individual services requiring a lower capacity or bandwidth.

Different locations may be designated as hubs for different facility capabilities, e.g., multiplexing from digital to digital may occur at one location while multiplexing from digital to analog may occur at a different location. When placing an Access Order the customer will specify the desired hub. Serving wire centers, and hub locations, and the type of multiplexing functions available are identified in the National Exchange Carrier Association, Inc. Tariff F.C.C. No. 4. Some of the types of multiplexing available include the following:

- from higher to lower bit rate - from digital to voice frequency channels

Original Page 7-142

ACCESS SERVICE

7. Special Access Service (Cont’d)

7.4 Rate Regulations (Cont’d)

7.4.7 Facility Hubs (Cont’d)

Point to point services may be provided on channels of these services to a hub. The transmission performance for the point to point service provided between customer designated premises will be that of the lower capacity or bit rate. For example, when a 1.544 Mbps channel is multiplexed to voice frequency channels, the transmission performance of the channelized service will be Voice Grade, not High Capacity.

The Telephone Company will commence billing the monthly rate for the service to the hub on the date specified by the customer on the Access Order. Individual channels utilizing these services may be installed coincident with the installation of the service to the hub or may be ordered and/or installed at a later date, at the option of the customer. The customer will be billed for a Voice Grade or a High Capacity Channel Termination, Channel Mileage (when applicable), and the multiplexer at the time the service is installed. Individual service rates (by service type) will apply for a Channel Termination and additional Channel Mileage (as required) for each channelized service. These will be billed to the customer as each individual service is installed.

Cascading multiplexing occurs when a High Capacity service is de- multiplexed to provide channels with a lesser capacity and one of the lesser capacity channels is further de-multiplexed. For example, a DS3 High Capacity service is de-multiplexed to 28 DS1 channels and then one of the DS1 channels is further de-multiplexed to 24 individual Voice Grade Channels.

7.4.7 Facility Hubs (Cont’d)

When cascading multiplexing is performed, whether in the same or a different hub, a charge for the additional multiplexing unit also applies. When cascading multiplexing is performed at different hubbing locations, Channel Mileage charges also apply between the hubs.

The Telephone Company will designate hubs for Video Services. Full-time or part-time service may be provided between customer designated premises or between a customer designated premises and a hub and billed accordingly at the rates set forth in 7.5.3 or 7.5.4 following for a Channel Termination, Channel Mileage and Optional Features and Functions, as applicable.

At the request of a customer, the full-time and/or part-time services provided to the Hub may be connected together in the following configurations: full- time to full-time, full-time to part-time or part-time to part-time. The customer will be charged for each such connection made at the rates for Additional Labor as set forth in 13.2 following. The rates that apply for the service between each customer designated premises and the Hub are a Channel Termination and Channel Mileage, if applicable. In addition, for Program Audio services, rates for optional features and functions may be applicable.

7.4.8 Shared Use of Digital High Capacity Service

Shared use occurs when special access service and switched access service are provided over the same high capacity DS1, DS3 or SONET based facilities through a common interface. The facility will be ordered, provided and rated as special access service (i.e., channel termination, channel mileage, multiplexing; ring connection and ring transport; or entrance ring connection). The nonrecurring charge that applies when the shared use facility is installed will be the nonrecurring charge associated with the appropriate special access high capacity DS1, DS3 or SONET based service. The customer must place an order for each individual switched access or special access service utilizing the shared use facilities and specify the channel assignment for each such service. Individual service (i.e., switched or special access) nonrecurring charges will not apply to the individual channels of the shared use facility. Rating as special access will continue until such time as the customer chooses to use a portion of the available capacity for providing switched access service.

For special access high capacity DS1, DS3 or SONET based facilities, excluding Gateway SONET Ring Service, the special access channel termination, channel mileage, applicable multiplexing, or ring connection and ring transport rates will be reduced by 1/24th for each DS1 channel, 1/672nd for each DS3 channel activated for switched access service. Switched access rates and charges as set forth in Section 6.8 preceding will apply for each channel of shared use facility that is used to provide switched access service (i.e., 1/24th of the switched access entrance facility, direct-trunked transport, and applicable multiplexing rates will apply for each channel of a DS1 service or 1/672nd for each channel of a DS3 service activated for switched access service).

7.4.8 Shared Use of Digital High Capacity Service (Cont’d)

For shared use on Gateway SONET Ring Service, the customer must designate a full DS1 or DS3 for the provision of switched access service. For OC12 service, the entrance ring connection rate will be reduced by 1/336 for each DS1 or 1/12 for each DS3 activated for switched access service. For OC48 service, the entrance ring connection rate will be reduced by 1/1,344 for each DS1 or 1/48 for each DS3 activated for switched access service. The DS1 or DS3 switched access entrance facility rates set forth in Section 6.8 preceding will apply for each DS1 or DS3 of the Gateway SONET Ring Service that is used to provide switched access service.

The applicable switched access entrance facility rate is dependent upon whether the special access high capacity DS1, DS3 or SONET based facility is provided with or without Telephone Company terminal equipment at the customer's premises (e.g., when a special access channel termination provisioned with Telephone Company provided terminal equipment at the customer's premises is activated for switched access service, the switched access rate for an entrance facility with Telephone Company provided terminal equipment will apply).

7.4.11 Special Access Term Discount Plan

(A) General

The Special Access Term Discount Plan (TDP) applies to Special Access Digital Data Service (56.0 and 64.0 kbps), High Capacity DS1 (1.544 Mbps) and DS3 (44.736 Mbps) services, DS3 to DS1 and DS1 to DS0 Multiplexing, and Shared SONET Ring Service. The TDP provides the customer with discounted rates for the services listed. The customer agrees to a minimum service commitment per service on a state or national basis when the TDP is established.

In order for a circuit to be eligible for TDP pricing, the customer must commit a channel termination and/or multiplexer, or if not provided by the Telephone Company, the portion of the circuit (i.e., interoffice mileage) that is provided by the Telephone Company to a TDP. The commitment level for a circuit will be based on this information. For purpose of determining the term discount plan commitment level for Shared SONET Ring Service (SSRS), a Ring Connection equates to a Special Access Channel Termination. Customers may disconnect or move channel terminations and/or multiplexers within the committed area (i.e., state or nation) and not be subject to termination liability charges as long as the commitment levels are maintained.

(B) Commitment Level

All eligible special access rate elements for a given circuit (channel termination, channel mileage termination (fixed), channel mileage facility (per mile), multiplexing or ring connection and ring transport) must be ordered for the same commitment period with the same service date for the same customer. A customer establishes a TDP by committing all or a portion of their in-service circuits to a minimum term of 3 years up to maximum term of 5 years. During the term of the selected TDP, the customer must maintain an in-service commitment threshold of not less than 90% nor more than 130% of the committed circuits.

Original Page 7-160

ACCESS SERVICE

7. Special Access Service (Cont’d)

7.4 Rate Regulations (Cont’d)

7.4.11 Special Access Term Discount Plan (Cont’d)

(B) Commitment Level (Cont’d)

As long as a customer’s actual in-service level of circuits remains within the commitment threshold, the customer will be billed the TDP rate for all eligible rate elements. Additionally, if a customer’s in- service level exceeds the initial in-service level by no more than 30%, the customer will be billed the TDP rates for all eligible rate elements. For example, the customer has 200 DS1 circuits and elects to commit 150 circuits to a 3 year TDP. The customer will be billed TDP rates as long as the in-service level of circuits is equal to or greater than 135 (90% minimum threshold) but not more than 195 (130% maximum threshold).

If the customer’s in-service request exceeds the initial service level by more than 30%, the customer will be billed the month-to-month rate for all facilities above the upper limit of the commitment threshold. If the customer’s in-service level falls below the minimum commitment threshold, the customer will be billed termination liability charges for the number of circuits below the minimum commitment threshold, and the customer's commitment level will be decreased to 110 percent of the customer's current in-service level. For example, a customer whose minimum commitment threshold is 135 circuits (90% of 150), but only has 125 in-service, will be billed termination liability charges for 10 circuits, and the customer's commitment level will be decreased to 138 (110% of 125).

7.4.11 Special Access Term Discount Plan (Cont’d)

(B) Commitment Level (Cont’d)

Although the commitment level is based upon circuits, the following rate elements will receive TDP rates:

Channel Mileage Facility (per mile) Channel Mileage Termination (fixed) Multiplexing Channel Termination Ring Connection Ring Transport

The customer must order a TDP in writing to the Telephone Company. A TDP may be ordered based on the following plan options.

3 Years 5 Years

The customer must specify the plan and the length of the service commitment period and commitment level. The customer agrees to a minimum service commitment level per service per committed area (i.e., state or nation) in effect at one time. For example, a customer that has a state specific or nationwide 3 year plan in effect for DS1 service may not establish a second 3 year DS1 TDP for that area until the current TDP expires. Once the plan is established, and commitment levels are agreed upon, standard access ordering procedures will be followed.

When a customer converts to a TDP, no access order charges are applied toward facilities in-service at that time. If a customer moves from a month to month plan to a TDP, or upgrades from one TDP to another, no access order charges are applied.

7.4.11 Special Access Term Discount Plan (Cont’d)

(D) Service Rearrangements

When a circuit committed to a TDP is rearranged as set forth in 7.4.1(C)(3) preceding, the nonrecurring rearrangement charge associated with the month-to-month rates for that service will apply. Changes in the type of service or service termination are treated as disconnects and starts, and the nonrecurring installation charge associated with the month-to-month rates for that service will apply. Changes in the physical location of the point of termination are treated as moves, as described in 7.4.5 preceding, and will be assessed the nonrecurring charge associated with the month-to- month rates for that service.

(E) 90 Day Review Period

No adjustments in monthly billing for a TDP, for being above or below the commitment threshold described in (B) preceding, will take place until 90 days after Telephone Company written notification to the customer that the commitment threshold has been exceeded or has not been met. This will ensure that customers will not be penalized for aberrations in channel termination and/or multiplexer counts caused by timing differentials in disconnection and installation.

Customer’s bills will not be adjusted for being outside the threshold described in 7.4.11(B) preceding during the 90 day review period. Additionally, customers will continue to be billed the adjustments (following the 90 day review period) for being outside the described threshold until the commitment level is met or re-established. A new 90 day review period will be initiated if the customer’s actual in- service level subsequently falls outside the described threshold.

(F) Increasing the TDP Commitment Level

Customers may increase their commitment level at any time by notifying the Telephone Company in writing. An increase in the commitment level will not change the expiration date of the TDP.

When a commitment level is increased, the actual in-service channel termination and/or multiplexer level at the time of the increase will be used to calculate the new commitment threshold as described in Section 7.4.11(B) preceding.

Upon written notification to the Telephone Company, customers may elect to have all future channel terminations and/or multiplexers installed during a commitment period automatically placed on the designated TDP.

Customers may request, upon written notification to the Telephone Company, that the Telephone Company automatically increase the customer's TDP commitment level when the 130% commitment threshold, as set forth in 7.4.11(B) preceding, is exceeded. The adjusted commitment level will be the actual channel terminations and/or multiplexers in service under the TDP at the time the 130% threshold is exceeded. The expiration date of the customer's TDP will not be affected by this change.

The customer may rescind its request to automatically add future channel terminations and/or multiplexers, or to automatically increase its commitment level when the 130% threshold is exceeded, by notifying the Telephone Company in writing.

(G) Decreasing the TDP Commitment Level and Termination Liabilities

Customers may only decrease their commitment level by paying termination liability charges on the number of channel terminations and/or multiplexers by which the commitment level is decreased. Termination liabilities will apply to applicable services covered by the TDP. For example, a customer has a commitment level of 150 channel terminations and/or multiplexers. The customer then decreases its commitment level to 125. The customer must pay a termination liability on the most recently disconnected 25 facilities, inclusive of all associated rate elements as listed above.

If a customer disconnects any portion of their TDP service prior to the expiration of the commitment period, the customer will be billed 50% of the monthly TDP charges for the remaining portion of the committed term. For example, a customer disconnecting in the 12th month of a 3 year plan will be charged 50% of the remaining 24 months of billing.

(H) Rate Changes

In this section, the term “rate” refers to the charges associated with the entire circuit covered by a TDP. Rate increases or decreases will automatically be applied to the monthly term plan rates for the remaining term of the TDP. If a Telephone Company initiated rate increase causes a customer’s rates to increase by 10% or more at any one time, the customer may cancel the TDP without incurring termination liability charges.

(I) Extension of a TDP Commitment Period

A customer has two options for extending their TDP commitment period as described following:

(1) A 3 year TDP commitment period can be extended by the customer at any time during the term of the plan, up to a maximum of 5 years. The number of months accrued in the current 3 year plan will apply toward the new 5 year plan selected. For example, a customer having completed 15 months of a 3 year commitment can extend the commitment to 5 years and no additional charges will be assessed. The first payment will be considered the 16th payment under the new 5 year plan; or

(J) Upgrading a TDP Service

When a customer upgrades a digital data service being billed TDP rates to a DS1 service, the digital data TDP commitment level will be reduced at the customer’s request (up to a maximum of 24) and no termination liability charge will apply. If the same customer has a TDP for DS1 service, the DS1 TDP commitment level will be increased if the customer requests that it be increased. When a customer upgrades a DS1 service being billed TDP rates to a DS3 service with the same termination points, the customer’s DS1 TDP commitment level will be reduced at the customer’s request (up to a maximum of 28) and no termination liability charge will apply.

When a customer upgrades a DS1 or DS3 service being billed TDP rates to a Gateway SONET Ring, or other SONET level services offered by the Telephone Company, the customer's DS1 or DS3 TDP commitment level will be reduced at the customer's request by an amount equal to the number of DS1 or DS3 special access circuits that are migrated to the Gateway SONET Ring, or other SONET level service offered by the Telephone Company. Termination liability charges will not apply to upgrades if the Gateway SONET Ring, or other SONET level service commitment period is greater than or equal to the existing TDP commitment period.

(J) Upgrading a TDP Service (Cont'd)

When a customer upgrades a DS1 or DS3 service being billed TDP rates to an Ethernet Transport (ET)(1) or Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) service offered by the Telephone Company, the customer's DS1 or DS3 TDP commitment level will be reduced at the customer's request as set forth following:

- for every 10 Mbps of ET or EVPL , the customer's DS1 commitment level will be reduced by 5 DS1s (e.g., 5 DS1s can upgrade to 10 Mbps ET or EVPL, 10 DS1s can upgrade to 20 Mbps ET or EVPL, etc.)

- for every 100 Mbps of ET or EVPL, the customer's DS3 commitment level will be reduced by 1 DS3 (e.g., 1 DS3 can upgrade to 100 Mbps ET or EVPL, 5 DS3s can upgrade to 500 Mbps ET or EVPL, etc.)

The customer must commit to a new ET three (3) or five (5) year minimum commitment period or EVPL Term Discount Plan for periods of three (3) or five (5) years or an EVPL Fixed Rate Term Plan for a period of seven (7) years. Termination liability charges will not apply to upgrades if the ET or EVPL commitment period is greater than or equal to the existing TDP commitment period.

When a disconnect order for a DS1 or DS3 circuit is submitted to the Telephone Company, the customer must note on the disconnect order that the DS1 or DS3 circuit to be disconnected is being or has been upgraded to ET or EVPL service.

* Customers subscribing to a Special Access TDP on or before November 18, 2010 may elect to discontinue service without termination liability within 90 days of the effective date of the revisions filed under Transmittal No. 95.

(K) Renewal of a TDP

At the end of the TDP service commitment period, the customer may subscribe to a new TDP at the prevailing rates set forth in Section 7.5.10 following. If the customer does not select a new TDP, the rates will convert to the prevailing month-to-month digital data, DS1, DS3 or Shared SONET Ring rates set forth in Sections 7.5.7, 7.5.8 and 7.5.11 following. The customer will have up to 12 months (365 days) grace period to renew their TDP before month-to-month rates will be assessed.

(L) Cancellation Charges

When a customer cancels an order for special access services being provided under a TDP, cancellation charges, as set forth in 5.2.4 preceding, will be calculated using the nonrecurring charges associated with the month-to-month rates for the service being cancelled.

7.4.12 Shared SONET Ring Service

The rates and charges for SSRS are as set forth in Sections 7.5.10 and 7.5.11 following, and are in addition to any applicable rates and charges set forth in other sections of this tariff. There are two types of rates and charges that may apply to SSRS. These are monthly recurring rates and nonrecurring charges, both of which are billed in advance.

(A) Monthly rates are flat recurring rates that apply each month or fraction thereof that a specific rate element is provided regardless of the amount of usage. For billing purposes, each month is considered to have 30 days.

(B) Nonrecurring charges are one-time charges that apply for a specific work activity (i.e., installation). Nonrecurring charges may apply to each SSRS installed.

(C) The minimum service period for SSRS is one month. Customers may migrate existing DS1 and DS3 special access services to the SSRS without incurring service rearrangement charges. Once existing DS1 and DS3 special access services are migrated to SSRS, customers will be billed for SSRS and will no longer be billed for DS1 and DS3 special access once the DS1 and DS3 special access services have been ordered to be disconnected.

(D) The service performance maintenance guarantee, as set forth in Section 2.4.4(B)(7) preceding, also applies to SSRS.

7.4.12 Shared SONET Ring Service (Cont’d)

(E) When SSRS is used for both interstate and intrastate traffic, the SSRS is to be classified as 100% interstate when the lines carry more than a de minimis amount of interstate traffic. Interstate traffic is deemed to be de minimis when the interstate traffic amounts to ten percent (10%) or less of the total traffic on an SSRS. The certification requirements set forth in Section 2.3.13 preceding also apply to SSRS.

(F) Term discount plans are available for DS1 and DS3 services offered under SSRS. For purposes of determining the term discount plan commitment level, an SSRS ring connection equates to a special access channel termination. The rates and charges for SSRS term discount plans are set forth in Section 7.5.10 following.

(G) In situations where facilities do not exist for the provision of SSRS within the available serving areas, special construction charges, as set forth in Section 14 following, may apply.

If MASC is provided between two Telephone Company offices where multiplexing is performed, channel mileage (termination and per mile) for the lower speed service will apply between the two central offices, along with one MASC charge per connection per central office.

If two customers are involved, one customer will be responsible for the entire billing of the MASC. The responsible customer must obtain a Letter of Authorization (LOA) from the second customer and submit it to the Telephone Company along with the channel assignment information for the lower speed services being connected.

7.4.14 Gateway SONET Ring Service*

The rates and charges for Gateway SONET Ring Service (GSRS) are set forth in Section 7.5.13 following, and are in addition to any applicable rates and charges set forth in other sections of this tariff. The applicable rates for GSRS are monthly recurring rates which are billed in advance.

(B) The service period for GSRS is three or five years. All GSRS commitments will begin in month one. If the customer requests that service be disconnected prior to the expiration of the three or five year service period selected, a 50% penalty will be assessed for the remaining months of the service period. For example, a customer disconnecting in the 12th month of a 3 year plan will be charged 50% of the remaining 24 months of billing.

Customers may upgrade existing GSRS Entrance Ring Connections (ERCs) from OC12 to OC48 prior to the expiration of the three or five year service period without penalty. An upgrade of the ERC requires that the customer start a new service commitment period beginning in month one. The new service commitment period must be equal to or greater than the service period in effect at the time of the upgrade.

Additionally, customers may discontinue GSRS, without penalty, should the monthly recurring rates increase by 10% or more at any one time. Rate decreases will automatically be applied to the monthly recurring rates for the remainder of the service period. If the customer does not specify renewal terms in writing 90 days prior to

the expiration of the three or five year service period, the commitment period and GSRS rates in effect at the time of expiration will automatically renew. The customer can terminate GSRS at the end of the minimum commitment period with no penalty or obligation to continue the service.

(D) Special construction charges, as set forth in Section 14 following, may apply in the following situations.

(1) Entrance Ring Connection mileage exceeds Band 3 (60 miles) maximum;

(2) The customer requests a customized physical SONET ring dedicated to transmitting a specific end user customers traffic; or

(3) Bandwidth is needed that exceeds currently tariffed levels.

The PTDP provides the customer with discounted rates for the services listed. The customer agrees to commit 100% of their existing and future special access services ordered from the Telephone Company on a national basis for a five year commitment period when the PTDP is established.

The following rate elements will be eligible for PTDP rates:

Channel Termination Channel Mileage Termination (fixed) Channel Mileage Facility (per mile) Multiplexing

The commitment level will be based on special access circuit quantities determined by the Telephone Company's billing records and mutually agreed upon by the Telephone Company and the customer. The commitment level will be based on DS1 equivalent circuits, by state, and updated annually. If the customer's circuit quantity falls below 95% of the state specific commitment level in a consecutive 60 day period, a shortfall penalty as set forth in (C) following is applicable.

(A) General (Cont'd)

Customers who currently subscribe to the Telephone Company Term Discount Plan (TDP), set forth in section 7.4.11 preceding, may convert to a PTDP without termination liability penalty under their existing TDP. Customers may disconnect or move special access circuits and not be subject to termination liability charges as long as the commitment levels are maintained.

(B) Commitment Level

All eligible special access rate elements for a given circuit (channel termination, channel mileage termination (fixed), channel mileage facility (per mile) and multiplexing) must be ordered for the same commitment period with the same service date for the same customer. A customer establishes a PTDP by committing all of their in service circuits eligible for the discount to a five year term. All future special access circuits ordered from the Telephone Company will be included in the plan. Circuits added to the PTDP after the plan is established will carry the plan effective date.

(B) Commitment Level (Cont'd)

The customer makes a commitment in terms of DS1 equivalent circuits based on the quantity of special access circuits in service, by state, when the plan is ordered. For purposes of the plan, DS1 equivalents will be calculated based on the following conversion table:

Service DS1 Equivalent Ratio

High Capacity DS1 1:1 Voice Grade 24:1 Digital Data 24:1 High Capacity DS3 1:28 Fractional DS1 128.0 kbps 12:1 Fractional DS1 256.0 kbps 6:1 Fractional DS1 384.0 kbps 4:1 Monthly Program Audio 24:1

The commitment level is adjusted annually on the anniversary date of the PTDP. The adjusted commitment level must be equal to or greater than the initial PTDP commitment level.

When a customer has no Telephone Company provided special access circuits in service in a given state when the customer's PTDP is initially ordered, the DS1 equivalent commitment level for that state will be equal to the DS1 equivalents in service on the customer's next PTDP annual adjustment date. The shortfall penalty set forth in (C) following will not apply in that state until after the DS1 equivalent commitment level has been established.

(B) Commitment Level (Cont'd)

For example, a customer initiates a PTDP on March 15, 2000, but has no special access circuits in service in the state of Florida at that time. The customer subsequently orders 10 DS1 equivalent circuits in Florida during April 2000, and 15 additional DS1 equivalent circuits in Florida during June 2000. The customer's commitment level for the state of Florida will be established on March 15, 2001, the anniversary date of the PTDP, and will equal the number of DS1 equivalents in service in Florida on that date, or 25 DS1 equivalents.

During the PTDP five year term, the customer must maintain a minimum threshold of 95% of the current DS1 equivalent circuit commitment, by state. As long as the customer's actual in service level of circuits remains at or above 95% of the current commitment level, the customer will be billed the PTDP rates for all eligible rate elements. A shortfall charge, as set forth in 7.5.14(D) following, will be assessed if the customer's in service level falls below the required minimum commitment threshold.

The customer will not be penalized for circuits converting to OptiPoint(1), Gateway SONET Ring Service or SONET OC Ring(1). The DS1 equivalent commitment levels will be adjusted without penalty when a customer converts to OptiPoint(1), Gateway SONET Ring Service or SONET OC Ring(1).

(B) Commitment Level (Cont'd)

The customer will not be penalized for circuits converting to Ethernet Transport (ET)(1) or Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) service provided by the Telephone Company. The DS1 equivalent commitment levels will be adjusted without penalty when a customer converts to ET or EVPL set forth following:

- for every 10 Mbps of ET or EVPL , the customer's DS1 equivalent commitment level will be reduced by 5 DS1 equivalent circuits.

Termination liability charges will not apply to upgrades if the ET or EVPL commitment period is greater than or equal to the existing PTDP commitment period.

Services provided to the customer on an Individual Case Basis will not be included in the PTDP commitment quantity. Shared use facilities will not receive the discount for the switched access portion of the circuit. Adjustments will be made to the commitment level for circuits that convert to OptiPoint(1), Gateway SONET Ring Service, SONET OC Ring(1), ET or EVPL after the PTDP is established.

* Customers subscribing to a Premier Term Discount Plan on or before November 18, 2010 may elect to discontinue service without termination liability within 90 days of the effective date of the revisions filed under Transmittal No. 95.

7.4.16 Premier Term Discount Plan (Cont’d)

A customer’s DS1 equivalent circuit quantities will be monitored monthly. A shortfall penalty will be applicable if the circuit quantities fall below 95% of the state specific commitment level for two consecutive months. When a shortfall exists for this period, the customer will be assessed a shortfall charge for each equivalent DS1 the customer is short of the commitment. The shortfall penalty will be applied monthly until the commitment level is achieved or the customer's PTDP is terminated as set forth in (E) following. The following states are excluded from the shortfall penalty:

- Kansas - Nebraska - Wyoming

The shortfall penalty will be calculated for each state by subtracting the actual DS1 circuit quantity from the DS1 equivalent commitment level. The shortfall penalty will be equal to the DS1 equivalent shortfall quantity multiplied by the shortfall charge, as set forth in 7.5.14(D) following.

For example, a customer has committed 1,000 DS1 equivalent circuits to a PTDP. The customer has fallen below 95% of their commitment for two consecutive months, and now has 940 DS1 equivalents. The shortfall of 60 DS1 equivalents, multiplied by the shortfall charge of $327, equals the monthly shortfall penalty of $19,620. The customer will continue to be billed PTDP rates for their remaining special access circuits on the PTDP.

The shortfall penalty will be assessed on the 60th day in which a shortfall exists, and will be applied to the customer's bill in the first available bill cycle following the shortfall period. The customer's account will be monitored monthly for continued shortfall status.

(D) Ordering Provisions

The customer must order a PTDP in writing to the Telephone Company. The completed PTDP order form should include the following information:

- PTDP effective date. - All customer Access Carrier Name Abbreviations (ACNAs) participating in the plan. - Initial DS1 equivalent commitment levels, by state.

Once the PTDP is established, standard access ordering procedures will be followed. When a customer converts existing special access services to a PTDP, no access order charges are applicable for facilities in-service at that time.

(E) Termination Liability Penalty

A termination liability penalty will be assessed if the customer cancels the PTDP prior to the expiration date of the PTDP five year commitment. If shortfall penalties are assessed for six consecutive months in the same state, the PTDP will be cancelled and termination liability penalties will apply.

A termination liability penalty will be calculated by multiplying the customer’s DS1 equivalent commitment level times the remaining months in the PTDP, times the termination liability charge set forth in 7.5.14(E) following.

For example, a customer has 1,000 DS1 equivalent circuits committed to a PTDP and terminates service in month 48. The customer will be charged the remaining 12 months times the 1000 DS1 equivalent circuits committed, times the termination liability charge of $164, for a termination liability penalty of $1,968,000.

(F) Rate Changes

In this section, the term "rate" refers to the charges associated with the entire circuit covered by the PTDP. Rate increases or decreases will automatically be applied to the monthly term plan rates for the remaining term of the plan. If a Telephone Company initiated rate increase causes PTDP rates to increase by more than 10% at any one time, the customer may cancel the PTDP without incurring termination liability charges.

(G) Renewal of a PTDP

At the end of the PTDP service commitment period, the customer will have up to 12 months (365 days) to subscribe to a new PTDP at the prevailing rates set forth in Section 7.5.14 following. If the customer does not select a new PTDP, the rates will convert to the prevailing month-to-month special access rates set forth in Section 7.5 following, and will be effective as of the expiration date of the PTDP.

(H) Service Rearrangements

When a circuit committed to a PTDP is rearranged as set forth in 7.4.1(C)(3) preceding, the nonrecurring rearrangement charge associated with the month-to-month rates for that service will apply. Changes in the type of service or service termination are treated as disconnects and starts, and the nonrecurring installation charge associated with the month-to-month rates for that service will apply. Changes in the physical location of the point of termination are treated as moves, as described in 7.4.5 preceding, and will be assessed the nonrecurring charge associated with the month-to- month rates for that service.

(I) Cancellation Charges

When a customer cancels an order for special access service being provided under a PTDP, cancellation charges, as set forth in 5.2.4 preceding, will be calculated using the nonrecurring charges associated with the month-to-month rates for the service being cancelled.

(B) Conversion Levels

When a customer establishes a RVDP the customer shall convert all of its existing circuits to the RVDP. Existing DS1, DS3 or Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) services will automatically be added to the RVDP upon written notification by the customer to the Telephone Company to establish an RVDP. A customer with existing DS1, DS3 and EVPL circuits that are currently committed under a term discount plan (TDP) or premier term discount plan (PTDP) will be required to convert those circuits to the RVDP once the plan is established. If the RVDP is established within ninety (90) days of the effective date of the tariff introducing the RVDP, those circuits will convert without termination liability charges. There will be no service or billing interruption for existing services that convert to the RVDP.

7.4.19 Revenue Volume Discount Plan (Cont’d)

At any time while on the RVDP, the customer may add or delete circuits as business dictates. These changes may increase or decrease the minimum monthly revenue threshold in which they fall. In these situations, the customer will receive the discount associated with the revenue threshold that is met for that month. For new special access DS1, DS3 and EVPL circuits added under the RVDP during the three (3) year commitment period, the Telephone Company will waive the nonrecurring installation charges associated with those services.

If the customer chooses to terminate their RVDP prior to the end of the three (3) year commitment period, the customer will be required to pay all nonrecurring charges originally waived upon installation of each circuit while on the RVDP, up to a maximum of $500,000 per year the customer has been enrolled on the RVDP. The applicable nonrecurring charges for each service type can be found in other sections of this tariff.

Circuits to be included in the RVDP shall include only those circuits in service or ordered by the customers who are provided service by the Telephone Company for the Access Carrier Name Abbreviations (ACNAs) identified in the plan at the time the initial RVDP is established. Once the customer has completed 2 years of their initial 3 year RVDP, as a one time request only during year 3 of the RVDP, the customer may request that additional ACNAs be added to the RVDP. These ACNAs may include those circuits that the customer has gained through mergers, acquisitions or if the customer is acquired by a third party that may also be a customer of the Telephone Company. The Telephone Company reserves the right to make adjustments to the minimum monthly revenue tiers set forth in Sections 7.5.17 and 22.5.17 following at the time any additional ACNAs are added to the customer's RVDP.

In this section, the term "rate" refers to the charges associated with the eligible billing elements, set forth in 7.4.19(A) preceding, included in the RVDP and any contributory services provided for in other sections of this tariff. For customers who subscribe to the RVDP, the monthly rates for the term period of the RVPD will be excluded from Telephone Company initiated rate increases and will be frozen at the rates as of the date of RVDP enrollment or renewal and will remain in effect for the term period of the RVDP.

The Telephone Company will not remove any of the contributory services under the RVDP or add additional rate elements or charges, whether for existing services or new, non-optional features or functionality, that would affect or relate to the contributory services unless the Telephone Company is ordered to do so by the Federal Communications Commission.

(F) Upgrades

The customer may upgrade an RVDP committed circuit to a higher speed (e.g., DS1 to DS3, DS3 to EVPL) at anytime. The customer may also upgrade a non-qualifying circuit (e.g., DDS) to a qualifying circuit (e.g., DS1). The month-to-month rates associated with the higher speed circuit will be eligible to be included in the RVDP. The customer may elect either a Term Discount Plan or Fixed Rate Term Discount Plan for EVPL.

Customers may have existing circuits under a Term Discount Plan (TDP) or Premier Term Discount Plan (PTDP) as outline in Sections 7.4.11 and 7.4.16 preceding that qualify to receive discounts under the RVDP. However, not all of these circuits can be included in the RVDP (e.g., voice grade, digital data). For customers who elect to move qualifying circuits from their TDP to an RVDP, any non-RVDP qualifying circuits shall remain on the TDP and the commitment levels shall be adjusted accordingly. To the extent the customer elects to move RVDP qualifying circuits from their PTDP to the RVDP, the remaining non-RVDP qualifying circuits must convert to month-to-month rates or another TDP, if applicable, provided in this tariff. If qualifying circuits under a TDP or PTDP are committed to an RVDP within ninety (90) days after the tariff filing becomes effective, no termination liability penalties will apply. If qualifying circuits are committed to an RVDP after ninety (90) days of the effective date of the tariff, termination liability charges will apply in accordance with the current TDP or PTDP.

An Ethernet Virtual Private Line Term Discount Plan (TDP) is available for EVPL service and applies to UNI and NNI port connections, EVPL channel mileage, EVC connections and the QoS. A TDP provides the customer discounted rates for the rate elements listed.

The customer has the option of ordering EVPL under a term commitment period of 3 years or 5 years. The customer must notify the Telephone Company in writing the length of its selected term commitment period. In order for a circuit to be eligible for TDP pricing, the customer must commit a UNI and/or NNI port connection to a TDP. All committed ports must be ordered for the same term commitment period (i.e., all 3 years or all 5 years) and remain in-service at the same bandwidth capacity throughout the entire term commitment period. UNI or NNI port connections installed after the establishment of the customer's TDP may be ordered on a month-to-month basis or added as additional committed ports to a customer's existing term commitment period as described in (1) following.

The monthly rates for EVPL service under a TDP are set forth in 7.5.18 and 22.5.18 following.

Although the customer commits the UNI and NNI port connections to the TDP, the following rate elements will receive TDP rates:

UNI Port Connection NNI Port Connection EVPL Channel Mileage EVC Connections QoS

Since there is no bandwidth or minimum commitment levels required for the UNI or NNI port connections under the TDP, disconnection of or change in the number or bandwidth capacities for these elements do not affect the customer's TDP.

Except as specified in (1) through (3) following, termination liability charges will apply when the customer fails to satisfy the term commitment period or the in-service requirements for their committed port connections.

Rate increases or decreases will automatically be applied to the monthly recurring rates for the remaining term of the TDP. If a Telephone Company initiated rate increase causes a customer's rate to increase by 10% or more at any one time, the customer may cancel their TDP without incurring termination liability charges.

(4) Termination Liability (Cont'd)

The termination liability charge will be equal to 50% of the total monthly recurring rates for each committed TDP port connection included in the customer's TDP for each month remaining in the term commitment period.

The following examples illustrate how the Telephone Company will calculate the applicable termination liability charges.

Example 1

A customer discontinues its existing TDP in its entirety in the 20th month of a 3 year term commitment period. The customer included three 100 Mbps committed port connections when they established their initial term plan commitment.

Using an illustrative monthly rate of $300.00 for the 100 Mbps committed port connection, the Telephone Company would bill the customer termination liability charges totaling $7,200.00 (i.e., $300.00 x 50% x 3 port connections x 16 months remaining in the term commitment period).

(D) Fixed Rate Term Plan

An Ethernet Virtual Private Line Fixed Rate Term Plan (FRTP) is available for EVPL service and applies to UNI and NNI port connections, EVPL channel mileage, EVC connections and QoS. A FRTP provides the customer discounted rates for the rate elements listed below.

The customer orders the EVPL FRTP under a term commitment period of 7 years. In order for a circuit to be eligible for FRTP pricing, the customer must commit a UNI and/or NNI port connection to the FRTP. All EVPL circuits ordered under the FRTP will begin in month one.

The monthly rates for EVPL service under a FRTP are set forth in 7.5.18 and 22.5.18 following.

Although the customer commits the UNI and NNI port connections to the FRTP, the following rate elements will receive FRTP rates:

UNI Port Connection NNI Port Connection EVPL Channel Mileage EVC Connection QoS

The EVPL Channel Mileage and QoS rate elements will not apply to secondary EVCs. The primary EVC and secondary EVC must terminate at the same location and the secondary EVC going to the customer designated premises shall be equal in bandwidth to that of the primary EVC. The customer will designate which EVC is to be utilized at any time as the primary EVC. Both EVCs cannot be used simultaneously as the primary EVC.

(D) Fixed Rate Term Plan (Cont'd)

The customer may move the EVPL circuit and replace it with another EVPL circuit at a different location during the 7 year term commitment without early termination liability charges provided (1) the customer agrees to retain the new EVPL circuits at the new location for the remainder of the 7 year term period; (2) the relocated EVPL circuit is of equal or greater value to the one being removed; and (3) customer submits the orders for the disconnection of the existing EVPL circuit and the installation of the new EVPL circuit at the new location at the same time.

If the provisions set forth in the previous paragraph are not met, then termination liability charges, set forth in (2) following, will apply for the customer's failure to satisfy the term commitment period requirement for their committed port connections.

Nonrecurring charges will not apply to EVPL arrangements installed under a FRTP. Monthly rates for the entire 7 year term commitment period of the FRTP will not be increased by the Telephone Company for the 7 year term commitment period for each EVPL arrangement.

At the end of the 7 year term commitment period, the customer may subscribe to a new 7 year FRTP for EVPL service. If the customer does not notify the Telephone Company in writing within 60 calendar days prior to the expiration of the 7 year term commitment period of their intent to renew their FRTP, the EVPL rates will convert to the prevailing month-to-month rates set forth in Sections 7.5.18 and 22.5.18 following; or the customer may elect to commit to any other term plan that may be offered by the Telephone Company that is in effect at the time of expiration of their FRTP.

(1) Upgrades

Customers who subscribe to a term discount plan (TDP) or premier term discount plan (PTDP) under 7.4.11 and 7.4.16 preceding or an EVPL TDP in (C) preceding may upgrade those services to an EVPL FRTP without incurring termination liability charges. The time in service under the TDP, PTDP or EVPL TDP will count toward the 7 year minimum term commitment period of the FRTP. For example, if a customer upgrades their PTDP after 24 months to the FRTP, they will have 60 months remaining in the FRTP. The customer must upgrade to a minimum circuit bandwidth capacity of 50 Mbps.

Customers may upgrade existing speed or capacity for EVPL port connections, QoS and EVC (i.e., 50 Mbps to 100 Mbps; 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps) without incurring termination liability charges and time in service under the existing EVPL service will count toward the 7 year term commitment period for the new EVPL arrangement.

(2) Termination Liability

Except where termination liability is waived as set forth in this section, if during the term of the FRTP the customer disconnects an EVPL arrangement prior to the expiration of the 7 year minimum commitment period, termination liability charges will apply as follows:

(a) an amount equal to 100% of monthly recurring charges for each EVPL arrangement disconnected for the months remaining for year 1 of the 7 year term commitment period of the FRTP, if any, plus

(b) an amount equal to 50% of monthly recurring charges for each EVPL arrangement disconnected for the months remaining in year 2 through year 5 of the 7 year term commitment period of the FRTP, if any, plus

(c) an amount equal to 20% of monthly recurring charges for each EVPL arrangement disconnected for the months remaining in year 6 through year 7 of the 7 year term commitment period of the FRTP.

The following example illustrates how the Telephone Company will calculate the applicable termination liability charges.

Example:

A customer discontinues an EVPL arrangement committed to the FRTP in month 20 of the 7 year minimum term commitment period. Using an illustrative monthly recurring rate of $1800.00 for the EVPL arrangement, the Telephone Company would bill the customer termination liability charges totaling $44,640.00.

$1800.00 @ 50% = $900.00 x 40 months = $36,000.00

$1800.00 @ 20% = $360.00 x 24 months = $8,640.00

$36,000.00 + $8,640.00 = $44,640.00

(3) Chronic Interruption

For purposes of the FRTP, a Chronic Interruption is defined as (1) an interruption in service due to a failure on the core portion of the EVPL network on four (4) or more separate occasions of five (5) minutes or more each, or twenty-four (24) hours or more in the aggregate, in any calendar month; or (2) both EVCs do not meet network latency, jitter or packet delivery performance standards provided in 7.4.20(E)(2) following in any three (3) separate months during any period of six (6) consecutive months.

When a customer orders EVPL under a 7 year FRTP and a Chronic Interruption occurs with respect to EVPL, the Telephone Company will provide to the customer, within ten (10) calendar days of the last interruption or within a month after any failure to meet the network latency, jitter or packet delivery performance standards, a detailed report with respect to such interruptions on the EVPL service that will include the root causes of such interruptions, remedial actions being taken to prevent similar future interruptions and timelines for the completion of such actions. The Telephone Company will provide bi-weekly written updates on the progress of such remedial actions until completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the customer. The timeline for the completion of such remedial actions will not exceed thirty (30) days. If after the completion of such remedial actions an interruption or performance failure occurs on the same EVPL service, or the Telephone Company fails to complete such remedial action within such thirty (30) day period, the customer may terminate the affected EVPL service without incurring early termination liability charges, upon providing written notice of such termination to the Telephone Company within twelve (12) months of the date of the last interruption or failure to meet the network latency, jitter or packet delivery performance standards triggering a Chronic Interruption.

(E) Service Level Agreement

Service Level Agreements (SLAs) will be applied on a per Quality of Service (QoS) basis for Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVCs); traffic representing the different QoS (i.e., Gold, Silver or Best Effort) transported across the same EVC (measured between two NIDs) will have different SLAs. Details of the technical measurements and performance results methodologies for each commitment are provided in the Technical Publications set forth in 7.2.16(B) preceding.

In accordance with 7.4.20 (E)(4) following, credits are available for missed commitments to customers who purchase EVPL. Credits only apply for portions of the service provided by the Telephone Company.

- Repair Commitment

The Repair Commitment is measured on a per occurrence basis for each EVC for all QoS. A Fault Report is produced through the Telephone Company reporting system that aids identification of potential outage durations upon which credits may be provided.

(1) SLA Definitions

Time to Repair

Time to Repair measures the duration of the interruption on the customer's EVPL for all QoS. This measurement will require the customer to report the problem to the Telephone Company. For EVPL, an interruption is defined as a condition that renders an EVPL circuit completely unavailable for use by the customer (i.e., the network is incapable of accepting and delivering customer data).

The repair interval will start with the time the trouble ticket is created and end when the fault is remediated. The SLA measurement will be based on each individual trouble ticket for a customer's connection. Time for scheduled maintenance windows as set forth in 7.2.16(A) preceding does not count towards SLA threshold.

The SLA will be calculated for each individual interruption. An example of the calculation is displayed below:

Example: Based on 15 hours of interruption

Total MRC of $1,200.00 * 3/30 = Credit amount of $120.00

Network Availability

Network Availability measures the percentages of time by QoS during a calendar month that the customer's service is available.

The SLA will be calculated by QoS by taking the total number of minutes in a day times the number of calendar days in a month, minus the number of minutes of interruption during the month divided by the number of minutes in a day times the number of calendar days in the month. The Telephone Company will not round up to the next nearest percent in order to meet the Network Availability service level commitment of 99.995%. Excluded from the outage time and service time are scheduled maintenance windows, set forth in 7.2.16(A) preceding, and the time the network was unavailable due to circumstances outside of Telephone Company's control, as set forth in 7.4.20(E)(3) following. An example of the calculation is displayed below:

Example: 1440 * 30 = 43200; 43200 – 1200 = 42000, 42000 / 43200 = 97.222%

Total MRC of $1,200.00 * 3/30 = Credit amount of $120.00

Network Latency

Network Latency measures average two-way delay (including link insertion delays, propagation delays and queuing delays in the network) in milliseconds within the EVPL access service area.

This SLA will be calculated for each QoS, except for Best Effort, by averaging the measured latency of "in-band" test frames for each eligible QoS within the EVPL network (i.e., between each pair of connections on a NID to NID basis) during a calendar month. An example of the calculation is displayed below:

Example: Monthly average was 12 ms (round-trip).

8.3 Frame Relay Service

8.3.1 Description

Frame Relay Service (FRS) is a fast packet network that provides the customer high speed access and throughput to different customer addresses. Utilizing statistical multiplexing, the frame relay network enables the customer to allocate circuit bandwidth to applications as needed, rather than assigning fixed channels to specific applications.

Permanent Virtual Connections (PVCs) are logical channels that connect ports on a frame relay switch or between frame relay switches. PVCs are end-to-end, bi-directional channels that are established and disestablished via the service order process. A separate PVC must be established to each location that the customer desires to transmit data. These PVC channels are virtual because they are established in software tables and do not tie up facilities when not in use. Multiple PVCs can be defined over a single Frame Relay Access Link, thereby providing a single access line the capability to transmit data to multiple destinations.

Physical access to the Telephone Company’s frame relay network is provided via a special access channel termination or an electrical cross- connect used in conjunction with expanded interconnection. Special access channel terminations must be ordered in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 7, preceding. Electrical cross-connects must be ordered in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 17, following. Customers who purchase FRS must also ensure that the special access facilities ordered from the Telephone Company are equipped with Bipolar with 8 Zero Substitution (B8ZS) line code, as well as Extended Super Frame (ESF) capability for DS1 facilities. The Telephone Company will provision FRS to support industry standards for the User to Network Interface (UNI) and the Network to Network Interface (NNI).

FRS is offered where facilities exist. If it is necessary to construct facilities to satisfy service requests, the service may be provided pursuant to the Telephone Company’s Special Construction provisions set forth in Section 14 following.

8.3.2 Service Components

(A) Access to the Frame Relay Network

Special access channel terminations or electrical cross-connects are used to connect the customer premises to the FRS UNI or NNI Port Connection. Special access channel terminations are provided under Section 7 preceding, and are available at speeds of 56.0/64.0 kbps through 1.544 Mbps for the UNI Port Connection and at 1.544 Mbps and 44.736 Mbps for the NNI Port Connection. Electrical cross-connects are provided under Section 17, following, and are available at 1.544 Mbps for the UNI Port Connection and 1.544 Mbps and 44.736 Mbps for the NNI Port Connection.

(B) User to Network Interface (UNI) Port Connection

The User to Network Interface (UNI) Port Connection is a standard interface used to connect the end user to the Telephone Company’s frame relay network. It receives the data frame from the customer’s network or CPE devices and verifies that the customer address destination is valid before relaying the frame. The UNI Port Connection is available at 56.0/64.0 kbps through 1.544 Mbps. The transmission speed of the UNI Port Connection may not exceed the transmission speed of the special access channel termination or electrical cross-connect. One special access channel termination or electrical cross-connect is required per UNI Port Connection.

The Network to Network Interface (NNI) Port Connection provides bi-directional polling between the Telephone Company’s FRS switch and the interexchange carrier’s or other customer’s frame relay network.

8.3.2 Service Components (Cont’d)

(D) Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs)

The PVC provides a software-defined electronic path between two port connections within the frame relay network. A UNI or NNI Port Connection can be associated with any number of PVCs. Since all PVCs need not be in use at the same time, it is possible for the total bandwidth of all PVCs associated with one Port Connection to exceed the bandwidth of the Port Connection. It is not possible, however, for the simultaneous aggregate of the PVC’s throughput to exceed the bandwidth of the Port Connection. Such a relationship is referred to as over-subscription or overbooking, and when this occurs, there can be no guarantee that the bandwidth defined for that PVC will be available at any point in time.

(E) Committed Information Rate (CIR)

CIR defines the amount of data throughput on a designated PVC that the Telephone Company will support under normal operating conditions. Any data burst beyond the CIR may be labeled Discard Eligible (DE) if the data transfer rate exceeds the CIR of the PVC being used. If the frame relay network develops congestion, the frames marked DE may be discarded.

8.3.3 Rates Regulations

The minimum service period for Frame Relay Service is one month.

When the customer orders additional PVCs with a designated CIR, the CIR nonrecurring charge shall apply. When a change is made to a customer’s frame relay configuration at the customer’s request, the administrative nonrecurring charge shall apply. Such changes are defined as those rearrangements necessary to add, delete, or rearrange the customer’s configuration, including changes to CIRs. Although multiple changes may be caused by such actions, only one administrative charge will apply.

When the customer changes the CIR on an existing PVC, the CIR nonrecurring charge will apply in addition to the administrative nonrecurring charge.

8.3.4 FRS Term Discount Plans

(A) General

Frame Relay Service Term Discount Plans (FRSTDPs) are available for UNI port connections at the speeds of 56.0/64.0 kbps through 1.544 Mbps. A FRSTDP provides the customer with discounted rates for the services listed. The customer agrees to a minimum service commitment per service on a state or national basis when the TDP is established.

A customer establishes a FRSTDP by selecting all or a portion of their in-service port connections and committing those port connections to a minimum term of 3 years up to a maximum term of 5 years. Customers may disconnect or move port connections within the committed area (i.e., state or nation) and not be subject to termination liability charges as long as the commitment levels are maintained.

(B) Ordering Provisions

The customer must order a FRSTDP in writing to the Telephone Company. A FRSTDP may be ordered based on the following plan options.

3 Years 5 Years

The customer must specify the plan and the length of the service commitment period. Once the plan is established, and commitment periods are agreed upon, standard access ordering procedures will be followed.

When a customer converts to a FRSTDP, no access order charges are applied toward facilities in-service at that time. If a customer moves from a month to month plan to a FRSTDP, or upgrades from one FRSTDP to another, no access order charges are applied.

8.3.4 FRS Term Discount Plans (Cont’d)

When a UNI or NNI port connection committed to a FRSTDP is rearranged, a charge equal to one half the UNI or NNI port connection nonrecurring charge associated with the month-to-month rates for that service will apply. Service rearrangements are changes to existing (installed) services which do not result in either a change in the minimum period requirements as set forth in 5.2.6(E) preceding or a change in the physical location of the point of termination at the customer designated premises. Changes in the physical location of the point of termination are treated as disconnects and starts, and will be assessed the nonrecurring charge associated with the month-to-month rates for that service.

(D) Termination Liabilities

If a customer disconnects any portion of their FRSTDP service prior to the expiration of the commitment period, the customer will be billed 50% of the monthly FRSTDP charges for the remaining portion of the committed term. For example, a customer disconnecting in the 12th month of a 3 year plan will be charged 50% of the remaining 24 months of billing.

8.3.4 FRS Term Discount Plans (Cont’d)

(E) Rate Changes

In this section, the term “rate” refers to the charges associated with the entire circuit covered by a FRSTDP. Rate increases or decreases will automatically be applied to the monthly term plan rates for the remaining term of the FRSTDP. If a Telephone Company initiated rate increase causes a customer’s rates to increase by 10% or more at any one time, the customer may cancel the FRSTDP without incurring termination liability charges.

(F) Extension of a FRSTDP Commitment Period

FRSTDP commitment periods can be extended by the customer at any time during the term of the plan, up to a maximum of 5 years. The number of months accrued in the current plan will apply toward the new plan selected. For example, a customer having completed 15 months of a 3 year commitment can extend the commitment to 5 years and no additional charges will be assessed. The first payment will be considered the 16th payment under the new 5 year Plan.

(G) Renewal of a FRSTDP

At the end of the FRSTDP service commitment period, the customer may subscribe to a new FRSTDP at the prevailing rates set forth in Section 8.3.5 following. If the customer does not select a new FRSTDP, the rates will convert to the prevailing month-to-month UNI and NNI rates set forth in Section 8.3.5 following. The customer will have a 90 day grace period to renew their FRSTDP before month-to- month rates will be assessed.

(H) Cancellation Charges

When a customer cancels an order for frame relay services being provided under a TDP, cancellation charges, as set forth in 5.2.4 preceding, will be calculated using the nonrecurring charges associated with the month-to-month rates for the service being cancelled.

(3) Directory Transport

Directory Transport provides the transmission facilities and transport termination between the premises of the ordering customer and the DA location. For purposes of determining Directory Transport mileage, distance will be measured from the wire center that normally serves the customer premises to the DA location(s).

Directory Transport is a two-way voice frequency transmission path composed of facilities determined by the Telephone Company. The two-way voice frequency path transports calls in the terminating direction (from the premises of the ordering customer to the DA location). The voice frequency transmission path may be comprised of any form or configuration of plant capable of and typically used in the telecommunications industry for the transmission of voice and associated telephone signals within the frequency band width of approximately 300 to 3000 Hz.

The Telephone Company will determine whether the Directory Access Service is to be routed directly to a DA location or through an appropriately equipped access tandem switch when such an access tandem switch is available. If the customer desires the traffic routing to be other than that selected by the Telephone Company, it may request a cooperative effort to determine if the customer specified traffic routing can be used in lieu of the Telephone Company selected traffic routing.

When Directory Transport is provided using a direct route to the DA location, no address signaling is provided. When Directory Transport is provided with the use of an access tandem switch, wink start-start pulsing signaling is provided at the access tandem switch. The customer will be notified by the Telephone Company when access tandem routing is provided and the customer shall address each call to the DA location using NPA + 555 + 1212. Only NPA codes handled by the DA location served by the access tandem switch will be processed.

13.3.2 Presubscription

(A) Presubscription is a procedure whereby an end user# may select and designate to the Telephone Company an IC to access, without dialing an access code, for interLATA interstate calls. This IC is referred to as the end user’s primary IC. The presubscription procedure also allows the agent* representing a pay telephone to select and designate to the Telephone Company an IC to access, without dialing an access code, for interstate interLATA calls. Presubscription is available only to End Users served by end offices that have been converted to provide Feature Group D Switched Access Service.

(B) Presubscription of residence and business lines and/or trunks is furnished in accordance with the detailed provisions of the Federal Communications Commission’s Allocation Plan. The plan with all appendices is available for inspection at the main building of the Federal Communications Commission in the Public Reference Room of the Tariff Division. Copies may be obtained from the Federal Communications Commission’s Commercial Contractor.

The same detailed provisions also apply to pay telephone presubscription for end offices converting to equal access after February 10, 1990. Pay telephone presubscription for end offices converted to equal access prior to February 10, 1990, will follow a transition schedule. After that date, pay telephone lines will be included in the standard presubscription time line for the end office.

# For purposes of this section, the term end user also includes alternative local exchange carriers (ALECs) that are certified to resell local exchange telecommunications services.

* An agent is the person or persons who have the legal authority to give permission for the placement of pay telephones on their premises and who control access to or usage of the pay telephone.

(3) Should an IC elect to discontinue Feature Group D service in an end office converting to equal access prior to the conversion date, or within two years after the introduction of Feature Group D in the converted end office, the IC shall contact in writing all end users and agents who selected, or were allocated to, the cancelling IC as their designated IC. Such written notification must advise these end users and agents of the IC cancellation, request that the end users or agents select a new IC, and state that the cancelling IC will pay the change charge.

For a period of two years following the IC’s discontinuance of Feature Group D service, the Telephone Company will bill the cancelling IC the change charge for each end user and agent that is currently designated to the IC at the time of discontinuance.

13.3.6 Telecommunications Service Priority (TSP) System

(A) Regulations

(1) The TSP System was developed to satisfy the requirements of the National Communications System (NCS) of the Federal Government and provides the regulatory, administrative and operational procedures authorizing the priority installation and/or priority restoration of National Security Emergency Preparedness (NSEP) telecommunications services. TSP applies only to NSEP telecommunications services, and authorizes the Telephone Company to take priority action in the provision and restoration of such services.

(2) Priority installation and/or priority restoration of NSEP telecommunications services shall be provided in accordance with Part 64.401, Appendix A, of the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC’s) Rules and Regulations, and in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Telecommunications Service Priority (TSP) System for National Security Emergency Preparedness (NSEP) Service Vendor Handbook (NCSH 3-1-2) and Service User Manual (NCSM 3-1-1).

(3) The customer requesting TSP service must be the same customer for which the associated access service is provided.

(4) Certain conditions may require that one or more customer services with a lower or no restoration priority be preempted in order to install or restore NSEP telecommunications service(s) of a higher priority. When such preemption is necessary, the Telephone Company will make every reasonable effort to notify the preempted customer of the action to be taken. Credit allowances for such service preemption shall be made according to the provisions set forth in 2.4.4(E) preceding.

(A) Regulations (Cont’d)

(5) In obtaining TSP, the customer authorizes the Telephone Company to provide certain customer record information to the Manager, NCS, of the Federal Government so that the Government can maintain and administer its TSP System. This customer record information will include only the customer’s name, TSP authorization code, Telephone Company circuit ID, customer telephone number and customer mailing address.

(6) In order to provide priority restoration service in compliance with Part 64.401, Appendix A, of the FCC’s Rules and Regulations, the Telephone Company may be unable to notify the customer in advance where additional labor charges apply, as set forth in 13.1, before the required additional labor is undertaken. The customer, in obtaining a restoration priority, recognizes that quoting charges and obtaining permission to proceed with the restoration of certain access services will cause unnecessary delays and, as a result, would be contrary to the aforementioned Rules and Regulations. In subscribing to TSP, the customer recognizes this condition and grants the Telephone Company the right to quote charges after the restoration has been completed.

(7) When an assigned restoration priority is discontinued or revoked, and the associated access service is continued in service, no charge applies for such a discontinuance.

(10) In the event that the Telephone Company must utilize specially constructed facilities in the priority installation of an access service, the regulations, rates and charges set forth in Section 14, following for the service for which priority installation is required shall also apply.

13.3.7 Blocking and Screening Services

Central office blocking and screening services are provided on an as available basis depending upon the capabilities of various switching equipment. In addition, these services are generally available only in equal access exchanges. Accordingly these services may not be available in all exchanges.

(A) Originating Line Screening (OLS) provides call screening information to the operator to prevent operator sent-paid (1+) calls from being billed to the line. This service is implemented by sending two information digits (generally known as II digits) with the Automatic Number Identification (ANI) of the originating line. These digits are transmitted to all carriers with the ANI. Additional information in the form of identification of the type of line, i.e. hotel, pay telephone, etc. may be provided to carriers for use in databases. This feature informs the OSP of any restrictions associated with the line for outgoing calls to which a caller is attempting to bill a call. This option can be used with the Bill Number Screening and International DDD Blocking options.

(B) Billed Number Screening (BNS) provides automatic blocking of third number billing, collect billing, or both. BNS is implemented via external databases that may be queried by carriers as appropriate. The BNS feature is established for a particular billing number via service order. This feature informs the OSP of any restrictions regarding collect or third number calls billed to the line. This option can be used with the Originating Line Screening and International DDD Blocking options.

13.3.9 Carrier Call Transfer Service

(A) Service Description

Carrier Call Transfer Service allows a participating IC to receive an on-line transfer call from a Telephone Company Business office via an interexchange carrier’s (IC’s) toll-free number. The IC must provide a toll free number dedicated solely for the Carrier Call Transfer Service. In addition, the IC must assign the highest call priority to all calls transferred by the Telephone Company under Carrier Call Transfer. This will allow Telephone Company calls to be routed to the first available IC representative regardless of other calls waiting in queue.

(B) General

Carrier Call Transfer permits an end user customer to be transferred to the IC if the end user customer has a question pertaining to service establishment/relocation, product inquiries, literature requests or if the end user customer has a billing inquiry regarding the IC’s charges. Transfers to ICs for billing inquiry will not be offered when the Telephone Company provides billing inquiry for the IC. Additional transfer activity will be available from the end user customer to the IC based upon mutual agreement between the Telephone Company and the IC.

13.3.10 Pay Telephone Optional Features

Following are descriptions of the optional features that are available in conjunction with pay telephone service. These features are available only in technically equipped central offices.

(A) Answer Supervision provides the capability of delivering an off-hook supervisory signal from the central office serving the customer to a line interface at the customer's premises for local and 1+ intraLATA toll calls processed and completed by the Telephone Company. The transmitted supervisory signal indicates that the called party has answered the incoming call.

(B) Coin Control uses a software driven system to provide features and capabilities similar to those provided by the microprocessor based "smart" pay telephone sets. Coin control provides the following central office features for use with coinless or coin operated pay telephone service:

(1) Coin collection, return and recognition - monitors signals from the pay telephone to identify when coins are deposited. This feature identifies the status of the attempted call, and sends a signal to the pay telephone to collect the coins when the call is completed or return the coins when the call is not completed.
