Dear Carrier:
On November 18, 2011, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") released an
order that makes sweeping changes to the laws governing universal service and intercarriér
compensation on December 23, 2011, the FCC released the USFIICC Transformation Order on
Reconsideration (USF/ICC Transformation Order FCC 11-161), in which it determined that the
default intercarrier compensation methodology for all non-access telecommunications traffic
exchanged between carriers and competitive Local Exchange Carriers will transition to bill and
keep over the next six years beginning July 1, 2012 and the FCC urged all parties with
interconnection agreements to immediately begin preparations for the July 1 effective date,
including commencing discussions regarding change of law provisions, if applicable.
To this end, pursuant to the applicable provisions of the interconnection, traffic exchange,
transport and termination agreements with Frontier Communications Corporation, including its
subsidiaries and affiliates ("Frontier"), in the above captioned states, the ICC Transformation
Orders, FCC rules, and all the applicable provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, Frontier hereby requests your agreement by signature in the space provided below
incorporating paragraph one, as the next amendment in sequence to your underlying
interconnection agreement, reflecting implementation of the FCC's Intercarrier Compensation
Reform Timeline, with an effective date of July 1, 2012.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as
follows
1. Reciprocal Compensation. Reciprocal compensation rates in this Agreement
will be phased down as provided in the USF/ICC Transformation Order FCC 11-161
(rel. November 18, 2011) as such order may be revised, reconsidered, modified or
changed in the future. When any such revisions, reconsiderations, modifications or
changes are effective, such action shall be automatically incorporated into the
Agreement. For clarity, Reciprocal compensation rates are capped effective
immediately and subject to reductions pursuant to the FCC's Reform Timeline as
outlined in paragraph 801 of FCC 11-161, or as such Reform Timeline may be revised,
reconsidered, modified or changed in the future.
Please return this letter to the following address below within 14 business days of receipt
