TARIFF FORMAT
Page Numbering - Page numbers appear in the upper right comer of the page. Pages are
numbered sequentially. However, new pages are occasionally added to the tariff. When a
new page is added between pages already in effect, a decimal is added. For example, a new
page added between pages 14 and 15 would be 14.
Page Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper right comer of each
page. These numbers are used to detennine the most current page version on file with the
Idaho P.u.C. For example, 4th Revised Page 14 cancels the 3rd Revised Page 14. Because
of various suspension periods, deferrals, etc. the Idaho P.C. follows in its tariff approval
process, the most current page number on file with the Idaho P.u.e. is not always the tariff
page in effect. Consult the Check Sheet for the page currently in effect.
Paragraph Numbering Sequence - There are nine levels of paragraph coding. Each level of
coding is subservient to its next higher level:
1.1.
2. 1. LA.
2. 1. LA. 1.
2. 1. LA. 1. (a).
1.A.l.( a).
1.1.A.1.( a).L(i).
1.1.A.1.( a).L(i).(l).
Check Sheets - When a tariff filing is made with the Idaho P.u.C., an updated check sheet
accompanies the tariff filing. The check sheet lists the pages contained in the tariff, with a
cross reference to the current revision number. When new pages are added, the check sheet
is changed to reflect the revision. All revisions made in a given filing are designated by an
asterisk (*). There will be no other symbols used on this page if these are the only changes
made to it (i., the fonnat, etc., remains the same, just revised revision levels on some
pages). The tariff user should refer to the latest check sheet to find out if a particular page is

SECTION 3 - EXPLANATION OF RATES
The regulations set forth in this section explain how to apply the rate tables associated with
the various service offerings described in Section 4, following.
Timing of Calls
Billing for calls placed over the Carrier network is based in part on the duration of
the call. There shall only be timing for conversation time and there shall be no
charge for uncompleted calls. Conversation time is defined as the elapsed time when
two-way communication between the calling and called party is possible. The call
ends when either the calling or called party hangs up. Timing begins when the called
station is answered, as determined by standard industry methods generally in use for
ascertaining answer, including hardware answer supervision in which the local
telephone company sends a signal to the switch.
3.2 Calculation of Distance
Where mileage bands appear in a rate table, rates for all calls are based upon the
airline distance between the originating and terminating points of the call, as
determined by the vertical and horizontal coordinates associated with the exchange
(the area code and three digit central office code) associated with the originating and
terminating telephone numbers. If the Customer obtains access to the Company
network by a dedicated access circuit, that circuit will be assigned an exchange for
rating purposes based upon the Customer s main telephone number at the location
where the dedicated access circuit terminates.

11.Determination of Rate Airline Miles
MTS rates between points (cities, towns, or localities) are based on
the airline distance between rate centers. In general, each point is
designated as a rate center; certain small towns or localities are
assigned adjacent rate centers with which they are closely associated
for communication purposes or by community of interest.
For the purpose of determining rate distances, a vertical V and
horizontal H coordinate system is used. The V &H system consists of
a series of coordinates which represents a theoretical grid of vertical
and horizontal lines covering the State ofIdaho. The spacing between
these lines is about 1 670 feet, and an intersection of any two grid
lines represents the center of an area approximately 1/10 of a square
mile designated by two coordinates.
The location of a rate center expressed in latitude and longitude is
converted mathematically to its grid location, that is, V and H
coordinates (vertical and horizontal). These coordinates permit
calculation of the distance between any two such rate centers.

To determine the rate distance between any two rate centers, compute
airline mileage distances for use with Message Toll Telephone
service (Long Distance MTS) in accordance with the following steps.
Obtain the V and H coordinates for each rate center.
11.Obtain the difference between the V coordinates of the two
rate centers. Obtain the difference between the H coordinates.
The difference is always obtained by subtracting the smaller
coordinate from the larger coordinate.
111.Divide each of the differences obtained by three, rounding
each quotient to the nearer integer.
IV.Square the two integers obtained and add the two squares. If
the sum ofthe squares is greater than 1777, divide the integers
obtained by three and repeat Step 4. Repeat until the sum of
the squares is less than 1778.
