1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
.01 Interexchange Telecommunication Services is the furnishing of MCI WorldCom services for communications between specified locations under the terms of this tariff. Channels will be those of MCI WorldCom alone, or MCI WorldCom's in conjunction with those of other participating, concurring or connecting carriers.
.02 Interexchange Telecommunication Services consists of the furnishing for the use of customers, of channels for the direct transmission and reception of communications between the MCI WorldCom Metropolitan Area Terminal City Locations or MCI WorldCom terminals. All service offerings contained herein which anticipate the provision of such channels as part of the offering are included in this category. Such service has the capability of being extended beyond the respective MCI WorldCom Terminal Locations.
.03 MCI WorldCom, when acting at the customer's request and as his authorized agent, will make reasonable efforts to arrange for service requirements which may include terminal equipment and circuit conditioning.
.04 The MCI WorldCom network is designed to insure that no more than five percent of all calls are blocked during the busy hour of the average business day. The network circuits are designed and engineered to provide high quality transmission of the human voice with a minimum level of impairment such as noise and echo. However, overall quality may vary somewhat due to the variability in quality of the connections provided by the local telephone companies, which is beyond MCI WorldCom's control.
2. LIMITATIONS
.01 Service is offered subject to the availability of facilities and the provisions of this tariff.
.02 MCI WorldCom reserves the right to discontinue furnishing service, upon written notice, when necessitated by conditions beyond its control or when the customer is using the service in violation of the provisions of this tariff, or in violation of the law.
.03 Service may be discontinued by MCI WorldCom, without notice to the customer, by blocking traffic to certain cities, or NXX exchanges, or by blocking calls using certain customer authorization codes, when MCI WorldCom deems it necessary to take such action to prevent unlawful use of its service. MCI WorldCom will restore service as soon as it can be provided without undue risk, and will, upon request by the customer affected, assign a new authorization code to replace the one that has been deactivated.
.04 Toll access will not be provided to local 976 numbers because the proprietors of the services offered through such numbers have not provided MCI WorldCom with a schedule of their charges.
.05 MCI WorldCom reserves the right to discontinue the use of any code provided to a customer of its Metered Use Service Option A (Dial One/Direct Dial) or its Metered Use Service Option D (Credit Card) and to substitute another code for such customer's use. Nothing herein, or in any other provision of this tariff, or in any marketing materials issued by the Company shall give any person any ownership Interest or proprietary right in any given MCI WorldCom code; provided, however that a customer that continues to subscribe to MCI WorldCom's Metered Use Service Option A or Option D will be provided a replacement code in the event such customer's initial code is canceled.

7. PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS
.01 The customer is responsible for payment of all charges for services furnished to the customer. Charges for installation, physical or administrative changes, expedites, or for cancellation of orders are payable upon completion. If, because of any such activity a non-MCI carrier or supplier levies additional charges, these charges shall be passed on to the customer. Recurring charges are billed in advance. Discounts for usage made under the Friends & Family Program begin in the first full billing cycle of participation in the plan. If a member of a Friends & Family Calling Circle discontinues his or her MCI service, only those eligible calls which were made while he or she was a Friends & Family member will receive the Friends & Family discount.
.02 Billing will be payable 21 days after the date of the postmark on the bill, if mailed, or the date of delivery as shown on the bill if delivered by other means. A Late Payment Charge at the rate of 1.50% per month will accrue upon any unpaid amount commencing 35 days after remittance was due to MCI. MCI offers pre-payment credits which are considered to be financial transactions and are the subject of separate letter agreements.
The late payment charge will be applied to the entire unpaid balance of the customer's monthly invoice, including taxes. The late payment charge will not be applied to any disputed portion of the unpaid balance unless the dispute is resolved against the customer. MCI may invoice low usage customers every other month unless a customer invoiced in such a manner requests monthly billing.
For residential and small business service customers, a late payment charge N of 1.5% may be assessed on payments not received within 30 days from the invoice date, where capabilities exist. The late payment charge will be applied to the entire unpaid balance of the customer's monthly invoice, including taxes. The late payment charge will not be applied to any disputed portion of the unpaid balance unless the dispute is resolved against the customer. The late payment charge of 1.5% is not applicable to subsequent rebilling of any amount to which a late payment charge has already been applied. Late charges are to be applied without discrimination.
.03 Applicants or customers (as defined in the 83 Illinois Administrative Code, Sections 735.100 and 735.110) whose financial condition is not acceptable to MCI, or is not a matter of general knowledge, may be required at any time to make a deposit. Such deposit is not to exceed an amount equal to two times the average bill during the preceding six-month period for services at the customer's premises, or if such information is not available, up to an amount equaling the installation charges, if applicable, and/or up to two months' estimated charges for the service to be provided. In the case of a cash deposit, interest will be paid for the period during which the deposit is held by MCI and in accordance with the 83 Illinois Administrative Code, Section 735.120(h)(1). Such deposit may be refunded to the customer at any time after six months of good credit upon request of the customer prior to termination of service. Upon termination of service, the deposit, with accrued interest, shall be credited to the final bill, and any credit balance shall be returned promptly to the customer.
.04 The charges set forth in this tariff for channel terminations contemplate installations made in normal locations and under normal working conditions. Any installations to be made under other circumstances are subject to additional charges.
.05 If notice of a dispute as to charges is not received by MCI within two years after an invoice is rendered, such invoice shall be deemed to be correct and binding upon the customer.

7. PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS (Cont.)
.06 MCI will cease billing the Special Access Surcharge upon receipt of the Exemption Certification (as defined herein). If the status of the private line facility was changed prior to receipt of the exemption certification, MCI will credit the customer's account, not to exceed three months, based on the effective date of the change specified by the customer in the letter of certification. Upon the effective date of the Special Access Surcharge MCI will bill such surcharges for private line facilities presented in-service. Customers who provide exemption certification within the first three months following the surcharge effective date, will be given credit for the surcharge to the surcharge effective date.
.07 When the state, any municipality, other political subdivision, local agency of government, or public utility commission imposes upon and collects from MCI Communications Services a gross receipts tax, occupation tax, license tax, permit fee, franchise fee or assessment fee, such taxes and fees shall, insofar as practicable, be billed pro rata to the MCI Communications Services customers receiving service within the territorial limits of the state municipality, other political subdivision, local agency of government, or public utility commission.
.08 Recovery of Collection Costs
.081 Non-Residential Service: If the Company incurs any fees or expenses, including attorney's fees, in collecting or attempting to collect, any charges owed the Company by a non-Residential Service customer, the customer will be liable to the Company for the payment of all such fees and expenses reasonably incurred.
.082 Residential Service: If the Company hires a collection agency to collect, or attempt to collect, any charges owed the Company by a Residential Service customer, the customer will be liable to the Company for an additional payment equal to 35 percent of the charges owed, where permitted by applicable law. If the Company incurs any fees or expenses, including attorneys' fees, in collecting, or attempting to collect, any charges owed the Company other than by hiring a collection agency, the customer will be liable to the Company for the payment of all such fees and expenses reasonably incurred.
8. CHANGE IN SERVICE ARRANGEMENT When a change in service arrangement involves the continued use by the customer of channels furnished by MCI, installation charges do not apply to the channels continued in use. The minimum service period for the channels continued in use is determined from the date of the initial acceptance thereof.
9. RESTORATION OF SERVICE The use and restoration of service in emergencies shall be in accordance with Part 64, Subpart D of the Federal Communications Commission's Rules and Regulations, which specifies the priority system for such activities.
10. INSPECTION MCI may, upon reasonable notice, make such tests and inspections as may be necessary to determine that the requirements of this tariff are being complied with in the installation, operation or maintenance of the customer or MCI equipment.

11. CANCELLATION FOR CAUSE BY MCI (See Section B,5 for Cancellation by Customer)
.01 In accordance with the 83 Illinois Administrative Code, Section 735.130, MCI may upon failure to pay a past due bill or upon a violation of any of the provisions governing the furnishing of service under this tariff, and upon written notification to the customer, immediately discontinue the furnishing of such service, except as otherwise provided in the following subpart.
.02 Illinois Provision. Discontinuance of telephone service to a residential customer shall be postponed for thirty (30) days from the date of certification by a licensed physician that discontinuance of service will aggravate an existing medical emergency or create a medical emergency for the customer or a permanent resident in the customer's household. Certification may be renewed by the customer for one additional thirty (30) day period by providing another certificate. Failure to so renew the certificate shall entitle MCI to initiate discontinuance procedures.
.03 Upon 14 days written notification, MCI will discontinue furnishing service to a subscriber to Option A (Dial One/Direct Dial) of Metered Use Service who has not used the service for a period of 90 days and who appears, after investigation, to have left the community or who advises MCI that he or she does not desire to continue to be carried as a customer. This provision does not apply to MCI Dial "1" Long Distance Service customers.

13. TERMINAL EQUIPMENT
.01 Terminal equipment, such as teleprinters, handsets or data sets at the premises of the customer and connecting local channels between such premises and the MCI terminals, shall be furnished by and maintained at the expense of the customer, except as otherwise provided.
.02 The characteristics of equipment at either end of the channel shall be such that its connection to the channel complies with the minimum protection criteria set forth below, and does not interfere with services furnished to other customers. Additional protective equipment, where required, shall be at the customer's expense.
.03 When services using Bell voice grade facilities are terminated in customer-provided terminal equipment, channel derivation devices, or communications systems, the customer shall comply with the minimum protective criteria set forth below:
.031 When the facilities furnished under this tariff are used in common with Bell System services, it is necessary in order to prevent excessive noise and crosstalk that the power of the signal applied to Bell lines be limited. A single valued limit for all applications cannot be specified. Therefore, the power of the signal in the band above 300 Hertz which may be applied by the customer-provided equipment at the point of termination will be specified by MCI for each application, to be consistent with the signal power allowed on the telecommunications network.
.032 To protect the telecommunications services from interference at frequencies which are about the band of service provided, MCI will specify the acceptable signal power in the following bands to be applied by the customer-provided equipment or communications system at the point of termination to insure that the input to Bell facilities does not exceed the limits indicated:
- the power in the band from 3,995 Hertz to 4,005 Hertz shall be at least 18 dB below the power of the signal as specified in Section 13.031 preceding.
- the power in the band from 4,000 Hertz to 10,000 Hertz shall not exceed 16 dB below one milliwatt.
- the power in the band from 10,000 Hertz to 25,000 Hertz shall not exceed 24 dB below one milliwatt.
- the power in the band from 25,000 Hertz to 40,000 Hertz shall not exceed 36 dB below one milliwatt.
- the power in the band above 40,000 Hertz shall not exceed 50 dB below one milliwatt.
.033 Where there is connection via customer-provided terminal equipment or communications system to a Message Telecommunications services or a WATS service to prevent the interruption or disconnection of all call, or interference with network control signaling, it is necessary that the signal applied by the customer-provided equipment to the interface at no time has energy solely in the 2450 to 2750 Hertz band. If signal power is in the 2450 to 2750 Hertz band, it must not exceed the power present at the same time in the 800 to 2450 Hertz band.

.0341 The maximum rms (root-mean-square) value, including dc and ac components, of the current per conductor will not exceed 0.35 ampere.
.0342 The magnitude of the peak of the conductor or ground voltage shall not exceed 70 volts.
.0343 The conductor voltage shall be such that the conductor to ground voltage limit in .0342 preceding is not exceeded. If the signal source is not grounded, the voltage limit in .0342 preceding applies to the conductor to conductor voltage.
.0344 The total weighted rms voltage within the band from 50 Hertz to 300 Hertz shall not exceed 100 volts. The total weighted rms voltage is the square root of the sum of the products times the square of the rms voltage of the individual frequency components. The weighting factors are as indicated:
for frequencies between weighting factor
50 Hertz and 100 Hertz f2/104
100 Hertz and 300 Hertz f3.3/106.6
where f is the numerical value of the frequency, in Hertz, of the frequency component being weighted.

14. ALLOWANCE FOR INTERRUPTIONS
.01 Credit allowance for interruptions of service which are not due to MCI testing and adjusting, negligence of the customer, or the failure of channels, equipment and/or communications systems provided by the customer, are subject to the general liability provisions set forth in Section B-4 preceding. When the service provided by MCI is interrupted for a period of two consecutive hours or more, credit is allowed for that portion of the service which is affected, in accordance with the following formula:
Credit = T times C 24
"T" is outage time in hours "C" is total daily charge for the affected facility
.02 For the purpose of determining the amount of allowance, every month is considered to have 30 days. Only those segments of service actually affected by the interruption shall be considered in determining the amount of allowance.
.03 The length of an interruption shall be measured from the time the customer notifies MCI of the interruption, or from the time a major outage is known to MCI.
.04 As used in Section B.14 herein, the term "service" means the circuits or equipment provided by MCI, and/or a participating international carrier or, an overseas administration connecting with such international carrier.
.05 MCI will, at customer request and expense attempt, to make arrangements for redundancy on the customer's service.
.06 If the customer reports a service to be inoperative but declines to release it for testing and repair, it is considered to be impaired, but not interrupted.
