Establishment of Credit The Company is not obligated to furnish service to any individual or firm that has an unpaid and undisputed delinquent account for service previously rendered by the Company at the same or different address, until arrangements have been made to liquidate such previous indebtedness to the Company. C. Deposits 1. The Company may require an applicant or a customer to make a suitable cash deposit to be held by the Company as a guarantee of the payment of charges for service. The fact that a deposit has been made neither relieves the applicant nor the customer from complying with the Company's regulations as to advance payments and the prompt payment of bills on presentation nor constitutes a waiver or modification of the regulations of the Company providing for the discontinuance of service for nonpayment of any sums due the Company for service rendered. 2. Applicants or customers who request service in a location where the Company believes, in its sole discretion, the equipment may be subject to loss or damage through theft, vandalism or other reasons involving a responsibility on the part of the customer will be required to make a suitable deposit to cover that potential loss or damage, such deposit not to exceed the value of the equipment furnished. 3. The amount of deposit, if applicable, will be determined in accordance with the Company’s policies. 4. Deposits, if applicable, will be refunded or applied, in accordance with the Company’s policies. 5. The Company does not apply interest on deposit amounts that it holds or upon the return of deposit amounts to the applicant or customer.

Service shall not be discontinued on a day when the offices of the Telephone Company are not available to facilitate reconnection of service, or on a day immediately preceding such day. E. Record of Previous Accounts The Telephone Company shall maintain a record of previous accounts by name in the Record Office where the account became final.

Applications for service may be made orally or in writing. B. The Company reserves the right to refuse service to any applicant who is found to be indebted to the Company for service previously furnished until satisfactory arrangements have been made for the payment of all such indebtedness. The Company may also refuse to furnish service to any applicant desiring to establish service for former customers of the Company who are indebted for previous service, regardless of the listing requested for such service, until satisfactory arrangements have been made for the payment of such indebtedness. C. If telephone service is established and it is subsequently determined that either conditions in B. above exist, the Company may suspend or disconnect such service until satisfactory arrangements have been made for the payment of the prior indebtedness. D. When an application for service and facilities or requests for additions, rearrangements, relocation, or modifications of service and equipment are canceled in whole or in part prior to completion of the work involved, the applicant is required to reimburse the Company for all expense incurred in handling the request before notice of cancellation is received. Such charge, however, is not to exceed all charges which would apply if the work involved in complying with the request had been completed. E. When equipment has been ordered for the specific needs of a customer and the installation thereof is unduly delayed by or at the request of the customer, appropriate charges apply for such equipment for the period of the delay.

    Apollo Funds to Acquire U.S.-Based Telecom Platform from Lumen Technologies Transaction to accelerate fiber build to millions of American homes and businesses NewCo platform to be led by former Verizon Fios Executive Team NEW YORK– August 3, 2021 – Apollo Global Management, Inc. (NYSE: APO) (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Apollo”) and Lumen Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: LUMN) (“Lumen”), today announced that funds managed by affiliates of Apollo (the “Apollo Funds”) have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Lumen’s ILEC assets and all associated operations across 20 states (“NewCo”) for $7.5 billion. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in 2022. Today, the NewCo platform serves more than 6 million homes and businesses across the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States. As a standalone company, NewCo will be led by Bob Mudge, Chris Creager, and Tom Maguire – industry veterans who together were responsible for the buildout and growth of Verizon’s fiber-based Fios service. The investment from the Apollo Funds will help accelerate the upgrade to fiber optic technologies, bringing faster and more reliable internet service to many rural markets traditionally underserved by broadband providers, while delivering best-in-class customer service. “The team at Lumen has built a great business and we see an incredible opportunity to provide leading edge, fiber-to-the-home broadband technology to millions of its business and residential customers,” said Aaron Sobel, Private Equity Partner at Apollo. Sobel continued, “As more of our economy, educational systems and entertainment choices move online, it reinforces the urgency and importance of providing faster, more reliable internet connectivity to bridge the digital divide, particularly in rural and suburban America.

  • Centurylink Weighs More Expansion of Prism TV Service•
    EXHIBIT 7 Press Coverage and News Articles AUSWRNews Page 1 of 1 AUSWR THE AssociATION oF U S WEsT RETIREES CenturyLink weighs more expansion of Prism TV service• By Andy Vuong The Denver Post May 6, 2011 Centurylink chief executive Glen Post indicated during a first-quarter earnings call Thursday that the next market to receive Centurylink's IPTV service will probably be in Qwest's local-phone service territory. And the rollout could come as early as this year. Post said the company expanded the service, called Prism TV, in the first quarter to three new markets: Tallahassee and Orlando, Fla., and Raleigh, N.C. Prism TV, which offers video content over a dedicated Internet network, is available in eight Legacy Centurylink!Embarq markets. Centurylink purchased Embarq in 2009 and completed its acquisition of Denver-based Qwest on April1. Post said the company will continue to expand Prism TV in 2011, ultimately reaching 1 million homes with the service by year's end. However, in response to a question from an analyst, Post said the company does not expect "any additional rollouts in the Centurylink markets" this year. "We'll be evaluating the Qwest markets in the coming months," Post said. "We do think there could be some opportunity there . .. We'll be making those decisions around midyear as far as any additional rollouts of IPTV in any of those markets."
