Price list Format
A. Page Numbering
Page numbers appear in the upper-right corner of the Page. Pages are
numbered sequentially within each section. When a new Page is added
between existing Pages with whole numbers, a decimal is added. For
example, a new Page added in Section 2 between Pages 6 and 7 would be
6.1.
B. Release Numbers
Release numbers also appear in the upper-right corner of the Page.
These numbers are used to determine the most current Page version,
for example, release 4 cancels release 3. Because of deferrals,
notice periods, etc., the most current Page release number on file
with the Commission is not always the price list Page in effect.
Consult supplements for the Page currently in effect.
C. Section Numbering Sequence
There are nine levels of alpha-numeric coding used in this price
list. Each level is subservient to its next higher level. The
following is an example of the numbering sequence used.

repair any facilities provided by the Company, other than by
connection or disconnection to any interface means used, except

A. Trouble Reporting
1. Trouble Receipt
The first point of contact (the Company or the Customer) will,
upon receipt of the trouble report, be responsible for
determining the source of the trouble by testing or other
means. If analysis or testing indicates the trouble to be in
the service provided by a service provider other than the one
taking the report, the holder of the trouble report may refer
the trouble report to the appropriate service provider (the
Company or the Customer) or the person or entity who initiated
the trouble report may be referred to the appropriate service
provider.
2. Sectionalization
The Company or Customer identifying the trouble is responsible
to initiate sectionalization to the Point of Termination or
Point of Interconnection. It is anticipated that the
sectionalization could involve cooperative testing and, in the
interest of maintaining continuity of service, all entities
are expected to participate in this activity when requested.
3. Repair Verification
Repair verification tests, as warranted by the trouble
condition found, will be cooperatively performed upon request
by the Company or Customer to ensure the service is
operational.
4. Network Element-Provided Access Service (NEPAS)
With respect to NEPAS, the Customer shall be responsible for
working directly with the Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier
with respect to any trouble receipt, testing, sectionalization
or repair verification relating to such facilities.

- change of operations or procedures of the Company.
In case of any such substitution, change or rearrangement, the

applicable sections of this price list. The Company shall not be
responsible if any such substitution, change or rearrangement
renders any Customer furnished services obsolete or requires
modification or alteration thereof or otherwise affects their use
or performance. If such substitution, change or rearrangement
materially affects the operating characteristics of the facility,
the Company will provide reasonable notification to the Customer
in writing. Reasonable time will be allowed for any redesign and
implementation required by the change in operating
characteristics. The Company will work cooperatively with the
Customer to determine reasonable notification procedures.

to comply with 2.2.1 following, the Company will, where
practicable, notify the Customer that temporary discontinuance of

2.1.11 Provision and Ownership of Telephone Numbers
The Company reserves the right to assign, designate or change
telephone numbers, any other call number designations associated
with services provided under this price list, or the Company
serving central office prefixes associated with such numbers,
when necessary in the conduct of its business. Should it become
necessary for the Company to make a change in such number(s), the
Company will furnish to the Customer six (6) months notice, by
Certified U.S. mail of the effective date and an explanation of
the reason(s) for such change(s).
2.1.12 Network Management
The Company will administer its network to insure the provision
of acceptable service levels to all telecommunications users of
the Company’s network services. Generally, service levels are
considered acceptable only when both End Users and Customers are
able to establish connections with little or no delay encountered
within the Company network. The Company maintains the right to
apply protective controls over any traffic carried over its
network, including that associated with Access Services or
Network Interconnection Services. Generally, protective measures
(such as those actions which selectively cancel the completion of
traffic) would only be taken as a result of occurrences such as
failure or overload of Company or Customer facilities, natural
disasters, mass calling or national security demands.
2.1.13 Design Layout Reports
For Access Services other than NEPAS, at the request of the
Customer, the Company will provide to the Customer the makeup of
those facilities, provided by the Company, directly connecting
the Customer Premises and the Company’s End Office. For Network
Interconnection Services the Company will provide the makeup of
the facilities between the POI and the Company’s End Office.
This information will be provided in the form of a Design Layout
Record. The Design Layout Record will be provided to the
Customer at no charge, and will be reissued or updated whenever
these facilities are materially changed.

2.3.9 Jurisdictional Report Requirements (Cont’d)
A. General (Cont’d)
1. Jurisdictional Reports
When the Company is unable to determine the jurisdictional
nature of the Customer’s traffic, the Customer shall report
the Percent of Interstate Use (PIU) by LATA and such report
will be used for billing purposes.
Effective on the first of January, April, July and October of
each year the Customer shall update the jurisdictional report.
The Customer shall forward to the Company, to be received no
later than twenty (20) days after the first of each such
month, a revised report showing the intrastate and interstate
percent of use for the past twelve (12) months ending the last
day of December, March, June and September, respectively for
each LATA. The revised report will serve as the basis for the
next three (3) months billing and will be effective on the
bill date for that service. No prorating or back billing will
be done based on the revised report.
If the Customer does not supply the jurisdictional reports,
the Company may deem the Customer to have reported percentages
that are the same as those provided in the last quarterly
report. For those cases in which a quarterly report has never
been received from the Customer, the Company may deem the
Customer to have reported percentages that are the same as
those provided in the order for service. Absent percentages
supplied (or deemed by the Company to have been supplied) by
the Customer, the Company will, only for that portion of the
Customer’s usage for which the Company is unable to determine
the appropriate jurisdiction, bill the Customer’s usage at the
jurisdictional rate which produces the highest charge. This
default billing procedure will remain in effect until the
Customer: provides call detail information to the Company
pursuant to 2.3.11 following (if the provision of such
information would permit the Company to determine
jurisdiction), supplies the necessary jurisdictional
percentages, or agrees with the Company on an alternate
default billing procedure.

B. Jurisdictional Audits
The Customer shall keep sufficient detail from which the
percentages of use reported to the Company (or deemed by the
Company to have been reported) can be verified and upon request of
the Company make such records available for inspection and audit.
The Customer shall supply the required data to the Company within
thirty (30) calendar days of the Company request. The Customer
must maintain these records for 24 months from the date the report
became effective for billing purposes.
Initiation of an audit will be at the sole discretion of the
Company. The audit shall be performed by an independent party
selected by the Company. An audit may be initiated by the Company
for a single Customer no more than once per year.
In the event that an inspection or audit reveals that any Customer
reported percentages of use were incorrect, the Company shall
apply the inspection or audit result to all usage affected by the
inspection or audit. The Customer shall be back billed or
credited, for a period retroactive to the date that the incorrect
percentage was reported, but not to exceed 24 months. Back billed
amounts are subject to a late payment penalty as set forth in
2.4.2.C following.
Should an audit reveal that the misreported percentage(s) of use
has resulted in an underpayment of charges to the Company of five
(5) percent or more of the total Access Services or Network
Interconnection Services bill, the Customer shall reimburse the
Company for the cost of the audit. Proof of cost shall be bills,
in reasonable detail, submitted to the Company by the auditor.
Within fifteen (15) days of completion of the auditor’s report,
the Company will furnish a copy of the audit results to the person
designated by the Customer to receive such results.

Usage Sensitive Rate Elements - When the Customer’s usage has
mixed intrastate and interstate traffic, for that portion of the
usage for which the Company is unable to determine the appropriate
jurisdiction, the usage charges will be prorated between the
intrastate and interstate. The jurisdictional percentages or
default procedure set forth in 2.3.9 preceding, will serve as the
basis for prorating the charges.
Monthly and Nonrecurring Chargeable Rate Elements - When the
jurisdiction of the rate element can be determined by the Company
the charges applicable to the appropriate jurisdiction will be
applied. Rate elements for which the Company cannot determine the
appropriate jurisdiction will be prorated between intrastate and
interstate. The jurisdictional percentages or default procedure
set forth in 2.3.9 preceding, will serve as the basis for
prorating the charges.
Identification and Rating of VoIP-PSTN Traffic
A. Scope
This section applies to VoIP-PSTN traffic exchanged between the
Company and the customer in time division multiplexing (TDM)
format that originates and/or terminates in Internet protocol (IP)
format. VoIP-PSTN traffic originates and/or terminates in IP
format if it originates from and/or terminates to an end-user
customer of a service that requires Internet protocol-compatible
customer premises equipment.(1)
(1) Although the Company has taken the position that this tariff, by its
own terms, already applies to VoIP-PSTN traffic, as defined herein, the
Company has included this section in the tariff out of an abundance of
caution to prevent any claim that it does not so apply, and to
implement the decision by the Federal Communications Commission in its
Report and Order in WC Docket Nos. 10-90, etc., FCC Release No. 11-161
(Nov. 18, 2011) ("FCC Order") that VoIP-PSTN access traffic should be
exchanged at interstate access rates (unless the parties have agreed
otherwise). By its terms, the FCC Order is prospective only and does
not address preexisting law with regard to the applicability of
intercarrier compensation or the enhanced service providers ("ESP")
exemption to VoIP-PSTN Traffic. Including this section in the tariff
in no way alters or otherwise affects the applicability of this tariff
to VoIP-PSTN Traffic before the effective date of the FCC Order.

A. Scope (Cont'd)
1. This section governs the identification of originating and
terminating intrastate toll VoIP-PSTN traffic and facilities
to which interstate switched access rates apply (unless the
parties have agreed otherwise) in accordance with the
transitional Intercarrier Compensation framework for VoIP-PSTN
traffic adopted by the Federal Communications Commission in
its Report and Order, FCC Release No. 11-161 (Nov. 18, 2011)
(FCC Order). Specifically, this section establishes the method
that will be used to identify the percentage of the customer’s
intrastate access traffic, that will be treated as intrastate
toll VoIP-PSTN traffic (referred to in this tariff as
"Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic"),
2. This section applies to originating and terminating intrastate
switched access minutes of use ("MOU") and facility rate
elements of all Access customers.
3. The customer shall not modify its reported PIU factor to
account for the VoIP-PSTN Traffic for MOU and facility rate
elements.
B. Rating of VoIP-PSTN Traffic
The Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic and facility rate elements
identified in accordance with this tariff section will be billed
at rates equal to the Company’s applicable tariffed interstate
switched access rates as specified at
http://serviceguide.att.com/ABS/ext/TariffDetails.cfm, in the AT&T

C. Calculation and Application of Percent-VoIP-Usage Factors
The Company will determine the number of Relevant VoIP-PSTN
Traffic MOU and facility rate elements to which interstate rates
will be applied under subsection (B), above, by applying the
Percent VoIP Usage ("PVU") factor to the intrastate access MOU
exchanged and facilities between the Company and the customer. The
PVU factors will be derived and applied as follows:
1. The customer, will calculate and furnish to the Company a
factor (the "PVUC") delineated by Carrier Identification Code
("CIC") or Operating Company Numbers ("OCNs"), representing
the percentage (whole number) of the total intrastate access
MOU that the customer exchanges with the Company end users in
the State, that (a) is sent to the Company that originated in
IP format at the end user; or (b) is received from Company and
terminated in IP format at the end user. This PVUC shall be
based on information such as the number of the customer’s
retail VoIP subscriptions in the state (e.g., as reported on
FCC Form 477), traffic studies, actual call detail, or other
relevant and verifiable information satisfactory to the
Company.
2. The Company will calculate and periodically update a factor
(the "PVUT") representing the percentage (whole number) of the
total intrastate access MOU that the Company exchanges with
the customer end users in the State, that (a) is sent to the
Customer that originated in IP format at the end user; or (b)
is received from the Customer and terminated in IP format at
the end user. This PVUT shall be based on information such as
the number of the customer’s retail VoIP subscriptions in the
state (e.g., as reported on FCC Form 477), traffic studies,
actual call detail, or other relevant and verifiable
information.
3. The Company will develop a Customer Percent VoIP Usage ("PVU")
factors combining the Customer’s PVUC factor with the
Company’s PVUT factor.

3. (Cont'd)
(a) The PVU calculation below is applied when the Company does
not bill based on actual call detail records for the
intrastate Company’s IP traffic at interstate rates.
PVU = PVUC + [PVUT x (1-PVUC)] applied to the Company’s
end user’s total intrastate MOU and facility rate
elements
Example: The customer reported that their PVUC as 40%. The
Company’s PVUT is 10%. This results in the
following:
PVU = 40% plus (10% times (1-40%)) = 46%
This means that 46% of the Intrastate MOU exchanged
between the customer and the Company’s end users will be
rated at Interstate rates.

The formula for usage will be as follows:
PVU = PVUC x (1-PVUT) applied to the Company’s TDM end
user’s total intrastate MOU.
PVU = PVUC + [PVUT x (1-PVUC)] is applied to the facility
rate elements
Example: The Company has identified that there was 10,500
Intrastate MOU that were identified exchanged
between the Customer and the Company’s IP end
users. The Customer reported that their PVUC as
40%. The Company’s PVUT is 10%. This results in
the following:
PVU = 40% times (1-10%) = 36%
This means that 36% of the Intrastate MOU exchanged
between the Customer and the Company’s TDM end users will
be rated at Interstate rates and the intrastate 10,500 MOU
will also be rated at Interstate rates.
For the facility rate elements the formula that is applied
to the intrastate dedicated facilities is as follows:
PVU = 40% plus (10% times (1-40%)) = 46%
Therefore 46% of the intrastate facilities will be rated
at interstate rates.

4. If the customer does not furnish the Company with a PVUC
pursuant to the preceding paragraph (C) (1), the Company will
utilize a customer PVUC of 0%.
D. Initial PVU Factor
If the PVU factors are not available and/or cannot be implemented
in the Company’s billing systems by January 1, 2012, when the
factors are available and can be implemented in the Company
billing systems, the Company will adjust the customer’s bills to
reflect the PVU factors retroactively to January 2012 usage and
facilities. In calculating the initial PVU factors, the Company
will employ the customer-specified PVUC retroactively to January
2012 usage and facilities, provided that the customer provides the
factor to the Company no later than April 15, 2012. Otherwise, it
will set the initial PVU factors as specified in subsection (C)
(4) above.
E. PVU Factor Updates
The customer may update the PVUC factor quarterly using the method
set forth in subsection (C) (1) and (4), above. If the customer
chooses to submit such updates, it shall forward to the Company,
no later than 15 days after the first day of January, April, July
and/or October of each year, a revised PVUC factor based on data
for the prior three months, ending the last day of December,
March, June and September, respectively. The Company will use the
revised PVUC to calculate a revised PVU. The revised PVU factor
will only apply prospectively and serve as the basis for billing
until superseded by a new PVU.
F. PVU Factor Verification
Not more than twice in any year, the Company may ask the Customer
to verify the PVUC factor furnished to the Company. The customer
shall comply, and shall reasonably provide the records and other
information used to determine their PVUC as specified in section
(C) (1) and (4) above. The customer shall retain and maintain (for
verification purposes) the records and other information used to
determine the PVUC, for at least 12 months after the PVUC is filed
(or longer if any other section of the Company’s tariffs or
applicable law requires a longer period). The verification process
shall be conducted consistent with the provisions in this Section.

sales, use, gross receipts, excise, franchise, access or other
local, state and federal taxes, charges or surcharges (however
designated), excluding taxes on the Company's net income, imposed
on or based upon the provision, sale or use of services.
If the Company becomes liable for any sales, use, gross receipts,
excise, franchise, access or other local, state or federal taxes,
charges or surcharges (however designated), excluding taxes on
the Company’s net income, which are imposed on or based upon the
provision, sale or use of services, and which are in addition to

2.4 PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS AND CREDIT ALLOWANCES
2.4.1 Description of Rates and Charges
There are three types of rates and charges that can apply to
Access Services or Network Interconnection Services. These are
monthly recurring rates, usage rates and nonrecurring charges.
These rates and charges are applied differently to the various
rate elements as set forth in applicable sections of this price
list. Other charges may also apply as set forth in D. following.
A. Monthly Rates
Monthly rates are flat recurring rates that apply each month or
fraction thereof that a specific rate element is provided. For
billing purposes, each month is considered to have thirty (30)
days.
B. Usage Rates
Usage rates are rates that apply only when a specific rate element
is used. These are applied on a per occurrence (e.g., access
minute or query) basis. Usage rates are accumulated over a
monthly period.
C. Nonrecurring Charges
Nonrecurring charges are one-time charges that apply for a
specific work activity (i.e., installation of new services or
rearrangements of installed services).
1. Installation of Service
The nonrecurring charges applicable to the installation of
Access Services or Network Interconnection Services are
applied on a per facility, trunk or other basis as specified
in the Price List. In addition, certain nonrecurring charges
may consist of “first” and “additional” charges. When charges
are listed in this manner, the “first” charge applies to the
first facility or trunk specified on the order, with the
“additional” charge applied to each additional facility or
trunk specified on the same order.

2. Service Rearrangements
Service Rearrangements are changes to existing (installed)
services which do not result in a change in the minimum period
requirements, a change in the physical location of the Point
of Termination (POT) at the Customer Premises or a change of
the Customer’s Point of Interconnection (POI). Changes which
result in the establishment of new minimum period obligations
are treated as disconnects and starts. Changes in the
physical location of the POT or POI are treated as moves and
are described and charged for as set forth in 3 following.
The charge to the Customer for a service rearrangement is
dependent on whether the change is “records only” or
administrative in nature or involves an actual physical change
to the service. “Records only” changes as set forth in
Section 5.4.1.A. will be made without charge(s) to the
Customer. The charges for administrative changes are as set
forth in Section 5.4.2. The charges applicable to all other
rearrangements are as set forth in applicable sections of this
price list.
3. Moves
A move involves a change in the physical location of the POT
at the Customer Premises or the Customer’s POI. The charges
for the move are dependent on whether the move is to a new
location within the same building or to a different building.
(a) Moves Within the Same Building
When the move is to a new location within the same
building, the Service Order Charge and one-half of all
other applicable nonrecurring charges will apply. There
will be no change in the minimum period requirements.

2.4.2 Payment of Rates, Charges and Deposits
A. Deposits
The Company will only require a Customer which has a proven
history of late payments to the Company or does not have
established credit, to make a deposit prior to or at any time
after the provision of a service to the Customer. No such deposit
will be required of a Customer which is a successor of a Company
which has established credit and has no history of late payments
to the Company. Such deposit will not exceed the actual or
estimated rates and charges for the service for a two (2) month
period. The fact that a deposit has been made in no way relieves
the Customer from complying with the Company's regulations as to
the prompt payment of bills. At such time as the provision of the
service to the Customer is terminated, the amount of the deposit
will be credited to the Customer's account and any credit balance
which may remain will be refunded.
Such a deposit will be refunded or credited to the account when
the Customer has established credit or, in any event after the
Customer has established a one-year prompt payment record at any
time prior to the termination of the provision of the service to
the Customer. Interest rate shall be the rate established, and
from time to time revised, by the appropriate governmental
authority. In the event no such rate is set, then simple interest
at the rate of up to 6% per annum shall be credited or paid to the
customer while the deposit is held by AT&T.
Interest will accrue from the date the Customer deposit is
received by the Company to and including the date such deposit is
credited to the Customer's account or the date the deposit is
refunded by the Company. Should a deposit be credited to the
Customer's account, as indicated above, no interest will accrue on
the deposit from the date such deposit is credited to the
Customer's account.

schedule. Alternate billing schedules shall not be
established on less than sixty (60) days notice or initiated
by the Company more than twice in any consecutive twelve (12)
month period.
The bill will cover non-usage sensitive service charges for
the ensuing billing period for which the bill is rendered, any
known unbilled non-usage sensitive charges for prior periods
and unbilled usage charges for the period after the last bill
day through the current bill day. Any known unbilled usage
charges for prior periods and any known unbilled adjustments
will be applied to this bill. Payment for such bills is due
in Immediately Available funds in U.S. dollars by the payment
date, as set forth in C. following. If payment is not
received by the payment date, a late payment penalty will
apply as set forth in C. following.
Notwithstanding the above, bills will not be issued for

Service Order Changes involve Service Date Changes and Design
Changes. The Customer may request a change of its Service Order
prior to the service date. The Company will make every effort to
accommodate a requested change when it is able to do so with the
normal work force assigned to complete such an order within
normal business hours. If the change cannot be made with the
normal work force during normal business hours, the Company will
notify the Customer. All charges for a Service Order Change as

If the Company determines that the Customer's request can be
accommodated without delaying the service dates for orders of
other Customers, the service date will be changed and the Service
Date Change Charge, as set forth in Section 5 of the Price List,
will be applied to the order.

B. Design Change
The Customer may request a Design Change to the service ordered
prior to the requested service date. A Design Change is any
change to a Service Order which requires Engineering Review. An
Engineering Review is a review by Company personnel, of the
service ordered and the requested changes to determine what
changes in the design, if any, are necessary to meet the changes
requested by the Customer.
Design Changes do not include a change of Customer Premises, Point
of Interconnection or First Point of Switching. Changes of this
nature will require the issuance of a new order and the
cancellation of the original order with appropriate cancellation
charges applied.
The Company will review the requested change, notify the Customer
whether the change is a Design Change, if the change can be
accommodated and if a new service date is required. If the
Customer authorizes the Company to proceed with the Design Change,
a Design Change Charge as set forth in Section 5 of the Price List
will apply in addition to the charge for Additional Engineering as
set forth in Section 13 of the Price List. If a change in service
date is required, the Service Date Change Charge set forth in
Section 5 of the Price List will also apply. The Service Order
charge does not apply in this instance.

Party Number (CPN) within the SS7 signaling message. If it is
technically infeasible for the Customer to use SS7, the Customer
shall use multi-frequency (MF) signaling. The Customer may elect
to arrange for signaling connectivity through a third party
provider which is connected to the Company’s SS7 network.
Access to SS7 provides service offerings to requesting
facilities-based carriers/providers seeking access to the
Company's Common Channel Signaling (CCS) network including access
to signaling ports and links providing a number of access
arrangements for use by facilities-based carriers/providers using
their own switching facilities.
The AT&T CCS network is a digital data network that carries
signaling information and interfaces with the voice/data network.
The network uses the SS7 protocol, a protocol developed by the
Consultative Committee for International Telephone and Telegraph
(CCITT) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for
signaling functions such as routing, establishing connections and
other services. Agreements may be required for passing optional
pieces of the SS7 protocol.
The AT&T Signaling Access Service provides access to the AT&T CCS
network. Access to the network is provided by subscribing to a
STP Link Termination, STP Link Transport and a dedicated Signal
Transfer Point (STP) port for facilities-based carriers/providers
with their own STPs and/or Signal Switching Points (SSPS).

they place an order with the Company for Local Exchange
Service. They may select either of the following options:
a) designate an IXC as their IPIC and dial 10XXX or 101XXXX
to reach other IXCs, or
b) designate that they do not want to be presubscribed to any
IXC and choose to dial 10XXX or 101XXXX for all Calls to
all IXCs.
There will be no charge for this initial selection. Only one
IXC may be selected for each individual line, or lines
terminating in the same hunt group, for the IPIC.
2. Subsequent to the establishment of Local Exchange Service and
the End User’s initial selection, an IPIC Change Charge, as

15.1 GENERAL
AT&T Digital Link Access Service (DLAS) provides switched access, (1)
on an originating basis only for Toll Free (8YY) Service Calls from,
and (2) for other Calls, on a terminating basis only to, the Premises
of an End User which is obtaining the AT&T Digital Link Service
offering (DLS End User) under the Company’s Local Exchange Service
Price list. DLAS is provided via common switching and switched
transport facilities, and utilizes dedicated digital facilities
associated with AT&T Digital Link Service to connect the DLS End
Office to the DLS End User’s Premises.
DLAS availability is as set forth in Section 16. DLAS is provided on
a terminating basis solely to the Premises of DLS End Users who
purchase inward calling capabilities as part of an AT&T Digital Link
Service offering pursuant to the Company’s Local Exchange Service

(8YY) Service Calls solely where AT&T has made arrangements for such
Calls to receive appropriate data base query functionality and
routing. The application of rates for DLAS is as set forth in 15.3.1
following.
15.1.1 Service Description
At the option of the Customer, DLAS may be provisioned one of two
ways: (1) via Company-provided trunks between a DLS End Office
and the Access Tandem(s) serving such DLS End Office; or (2) on
an ICB basis via direct trunks from the Customer Premises to the
DLS End Office, as set forth in 15.2.1.A. following. The
provisioning method specified in (1) employs the use of a Meet
Point Billing arrangement, as described in Section 2.4.8, under
which the Customer must obtain Access Tandem and transport
facilities from another service provider to connect the
Customer's Serving Wire Center to the Company-provided trunks at
the Access Tandem. The DLS End Office and the Access Tandem(s)
from which each is served are identified in Section 16.3.3.

15.3.4 Measuring Access Minutes
DLAS Calls will be measured to determine the basis for computing
chargeable Access Minutes. In the event the Customer call detail
is not available because of lost or damaged tapes or recording
system outages, the Company will estimate the volume of lost
Customer Access Minutes based on previously known values.
The measured minutes for DLAS Calls are the chargeable Access
Minutes.
DLAS minutes or fractions thereof, the exact value of the
fraction being a function of the switch technology where the
measurement is made, are accumulated over the billing period for
each DLS End Office, and are then rounded up to the nearest
Access Minute for each such End Office.
A. DLAS Usage Measurement
The measurement of Access Minutes for DLAS begins when the
recording switch receives answer supervision from the DLS End
User, indicating the DLS End User has answered. The measurement
of Access Minutes ends when the recording switch receives
disconnect supervision from either the DLS End User, indicating
the DLS End User has disconnected, or the Customer’s Point of
Termination, whichever is recognized first by the recording
switch.

15.3.5 Mileage Measurement
The mileage to be used to determine Tandem-Switched Transport
Facility mileage charges is calculated as set forth in A. and B.
following.
A. When Tandem-Switched Transport is utilized by the Customer between
the Customer’s Access Tandem and the DLS End Office, the Tandem-
Switched Transport Facility mileage is measured between the
Customer’s Access Tandem and the DLS End Office.
B. When direct transport is utilized by the Customer between the
Customer’s Access Tandem and the Access Tandem serving the DLS End
Office, the Tandem-Switched Transport Facility mileage is measured
between such Access Tandem and DLS End Office.
To determine the charge to be billed, first compute the mileage
using the V&H coordinate method as set forth in Section 16.2. If
the calculation results in a fraction of a mile, always round up
to the next whole mile. Multiply the rounded mileage by (1) the
Tandem-Switched Transport Facility rate, (2) the Access Minutes to
be billed and (3) the applicable Meet Point Billing Percentage
determined as set forth in Section 16.4.
