SECTION 3 - DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE (Continued)
Determination of Mileage
Usage charges for mileage sensitive services vary based on the type of service
subscribed to by the Customer. For services utilizing switched access, mileage
measurements for rate schedules are based on the distance in airline miles between
rate centers associated with the originating and terminating stations. For services
utilizing dedicated access, mileage measurements for rate schedules are based on the
distance in airline miles between the VarTec Solutions, Inc. network access point
associated with the station utilizing Dedicated Access Origination/Termination and
the rate center associated with the called/calling station.
The distance between the originating and terminating points is calculated by using
the "V" and "H" coordinates ofthe serving wire centers as defined by BellCore (Bell
Communications Research), in the following manner:
Step 1: Obtain the "V" and "H" coordinates for the serving wire center or network access
point serving the Customer s location and the called/calling station.
Step 2: Obtain the difference between the "V" coordinates. Obtain the difference between
the "H" coordinates.
Step 3: Square the differences obtained in Step 2.
Step 4: Add the squares of the "V" difference and "H" difference obtained in Step 3.
Step 5: Divide the sum of the square obtained in Step 4 by ten (10). Round to the next
higher whole number if any fraction results from the division.
Step 6: Obtain the square root of the whole number obtained in Step 5. Round to the next
higher whole number if any fraction is obtained. This is the distance between the
originating and terminating locations of the call.
