With respect to Emergency Number 911 Service, Cont'
When a Customer with a nonpublished telephone number, as deEmed herein
places a call to the emergency 911 service, the Company will release the
name and address of the calling party, where such information can be
determined, to the appropriate local governmental authority responsible for
emergency 911 service upon request of such governmental authority. By
subscribing to service under this tariff, the Customer acknowledges and
agrees with the release of information as described above.
The included tarifflanguage does not constitute a determination by the Commission
that a limitation ofliability imposed by the Company should be upheld in a court of
law, Acceptance for filing by the Commission recognizes that it is a court s
responsibility to adjudicate negligence and consequential damage claims. It is also
the court's responsibility to determine the validity of the exculpatory clause.
1.5 Notification of Service-Affecting Activities
The Company will provide the Customer reasonable notification of service-affecting activities
that may occur in normal operation of its business, Such activities may include, but are not
limited to, equipment or facilities additions, removals or rearrangements and routine
preventative maintenance. Generally, such activities are not specific to an individual
Customer but affect many Customers' services. No specific advance notification period is
applicable to all service activities. The Company will work cooperatively with the Customer
to determine the reasonable notification requirements. With some emergency or unplanned
service-affecting conditions, such as an outage resulting from cable darnage, notification to
the Customer may not be possible.

for service by inserting coins during the progress of the call.
Whenever possible, the Public Pay Telephone Surcharge will appear on the same invoice containing
the usage charges for the surcharged call. In cases where proper pay telephone coding digits are not
transmitted to the Company prior to completion of a call, the Public Pay Telephone Surcharge may be
billed on a subsequent invoice after the Company has obtained information from a carrier that the

InterLATA toll carrier from using carrier access codes or additional dialing to direct calls to
an alternative long distance carrier on a per call basis.
Presubscription Options - Customers may select the same carrier or separate carriers for
intraLATA and interLATA long distance. The following options for long distance
Presubscription are available:
Option A: Customer select the Company as the presubscribed carrier for IntraLATA and
InterLATA toll calls subject to presubscription.
Option B: Customer may select the Company as the presubscribed carrier for IntraLA T A calls
subject to presubscription and some other carrier as the presubscribed carrier for interLATA
toll calls subject to presubscription.
Option C : Customer may select a carrier other than the Company for intraLATA toll calls
subject to presubscription and the Company for interLATA toll calls subject to
presubscription.
Option D : Customer may select the carrier other than the Company for both intraLATA and
interLATA toll calls subject to presubscription
Option E : Customer may select two different carriers, neither being the Company for
intraLATA and interLATA toll calls. One carrier to be the Customers' primary intraLATA
interexchange carrier. The other carrier to be the Customer s primary interLATA
interexchange carrier.
Option F: Customer may select a carrier other than the Company for no pre subscribed carrier
for intraLA T A toll calls subject to presubscription which will require the Customer to dial a
carrier access code to route all intraLA T A toll calls to the carrier Of choice for each call.

1.2 Calculation of Distance
Usage charges for all mileage sensitive products are based on the airline distance between the
serving wire center locations associated with the originating and terminating points of the call.
The distance between the originating and terminating points is calculated by using the "
and "H" coordinates of the serving wire centers as defined by BellCore (Bell Communications
Research), in the following manner:
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
Step 4:
Step 5:
Step 6:
Formula:
Obtain the "V" and "H" coordinates for the serving wire center of the
Customers switch and the destination point.
Obtain the difference between the "V" coordinates of each of the Rate
Centers. Obtain the Difference between the "H" coordinates.
Square the differences obtained in Step 2.
Add the squares of the "V" difference and "H" difference obtained in Step 3.
Divide the sum of the square obtained in Step 4 by ten (10). Round to the
next higher whole number if any fTaction results from the division.
Obtain the square root of the whole number obtained in Step 5. Round to
the next higher whole number if any fTaction is obtained. This is the
