2.3.4 Identification and Rating of VoIP-PSTN Access Traffic
A. Scope
VoIP-PSTN Traffic is the traffic exchanged in time division multiplexing
("TDM") format that originates and/or terminates in Internet protocol ("IP")
format. This section governs the identification of VoIP-PSTN Traffic that is
required to be compensated at interstate access rates (unless the parties have
agreed otherwise) by the Federal Communications Commission in its Report and
Order in WC Docket Nos. 10-90 et. al., FCC No. 11-161 (November 18, 2011)
("FCC Order"). Specifically, this section establishes the method of separating
such traffic (referred to in this tariff as "VoIP-PSTN Access Traffic") from the
Customer's traditional intrastate access traffic, so that such VoIP-PSTN Access
Traffic can be billed in accordance with the FCC Order.

B. Rating of VoIP-PSTN Access Traffic
The VoIP-PSTN Access Traffic identified in accordance with this tariff section
will be billed in accordance with the Company's applicable interstate switched
access Tariff FCC No. 1, which can be viewed at
https://apps.fcc.gov/etfs/public/result.action.
C. Calculation and Application of Percent-VoIP-PSTN Usage Factor
The Company will determine the number of VoIP-PSTN Access Traffic minutes
of use ("MOU") to which interstate rates will be applied under subsection (B),
above, by applying a Percent VoIP Usage ("PVU") factor to the total intrastate
access MOU (however determined – either based on call detail information or
PIU) exchanged between the Company and the Customer. The PVU will be
derived and applied as follows:
1. The Customer will calculate and furnish to the Company a factor (the
"PVU-A") representing the whole number percentage of the total access
MOU that the Customer exchanges with the Company in the State, that
(a) is sent to the Company and that originates in IP format; or (b) is
received from the Company and terminates in IP format. This PVU-A
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.
2. Company will, likewise, calculate a factor (the "PVU-B") representing
the percentage of the Company's total access MOU in the State that the
Company originates or terminates in IP format. This PVU-B shall be
based on information such as the number of the Company'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.

2.3 Obligations of the Customer (Cont’d.)
2.3.4 Identification and Rating of VoIP-PSTN Access Traffic, (Cont'd.)
C. Calculation and Application of Percent-VoIP-PSTN Usage Factor, (Cont'd.)
3. The Company will use the PVU-A and PVU-B factors to calculate an
effective PVU factor that represents the percentage of total access MOU
exchanged between the Company and the Customer that is originated
or/or terminated in IP format, whether at the Company's end, at the
Customer's end, or at both ends. The effective PVU factor will be
calculated as the sum of: (A) the PVU-A factor and (B) the PVU-B
factor times (1.0 minus the PVU-A factor).
4. The Company will apply the effective PVU factor to the total intrastate
access MOU exchanged with the Customer to determine the number of
VoIP-PSTN Access Traffic MOUs.
Example 1: The PVU-A is 40% and the PVU-B is 10%. The effective
PVU factor is equal to 40% + (10% x 60%) = 46%. The Company will
bill 46% of the Customer's intrastate access MOU in accordance with the
Company’s applicable interstate switched access tariff.
Example 2: The PVU-A is 0% and the PVU-B is 10%. The effective
PVU factor is 0% + (10% x 100%) = 10%. The Company will bill 10%
of the Customer's intrastate access MOU in accordance with the
Company's applicable interstate switched access tariff.
Example 3: The PVU-B is 100%. No matter what the PVU-A factor is,
the effective PVU is 100%. The Company will bill 100% of the
Customer's intrastate access MOU in accordance with the Company's
applicable interstate switched access tariff.
5. If the Customer does not furnish the Company with a PVU-A pursuant to
the preceding paragraph 1, the Company will utilize an effective PVU
equal to the PVU-B.
6. The Customer shall not modify their reported PIU factor to account for
VoIP-PSTN Traffic.

F. PVU Factor Verification
Not more than twice in any year, the Company may ask the Customer to verify
the PVU-A factor furnished to the Company and Customer may ask the
