I. With respect to Emergency Number 911 Service (Cont’d.)
3. When a Customer with a nonpublished telephone number, as defined
herein, places a call to the emergency 911 service, the Company will
release the name and address of the calling party, where such information
can be determined, to the appropriate local governmental authority
responsible for emergency 911 service upon request of such governmental
authority. By subscribing to service under this tariff, the Customer
acknowledges and agrees with the release of information as described
above.
J. The included tariff language does not constitute a determination by the
Commission that a limitation of liability imposed by the Company should be
upheld in a court of law. Acceptance for filing by the Commission recognizes that
it is a court's responsibility to adjudicate negligence and consequential damage
claims. It is also the court's responsibility to determine the validity of the
exculpatory clause.
2.1.5 Notification of Service-Affecting Activities
The Company will provide the Customer reasonable notification of service-affecting
activities that may occur in normal operation of its business. Such activities may include,
but are not limited to, equipment or facilities additions, removals or rearrangements and
routine preventative maintenance. Generally, such activities are not specific to an
individual Customer but affect many Customers' services. No specific advance notification
period is applicable to all service activities. The Company will work cooperatively with
the Customer to determine the reasonable notification requirements. With some emergency
or unplanned service-affecting conditions, such as an outage resulting from cable damage,
notification to the Customer may not be possible.

Company permits a Customer to cancel an application for service prior to the start of
service or prior to any special construction, no charges will be imposed except for those
specified below.
2.8.2 Where, prior to cancellation by the Customer, the Company incurs any expenses in
installing the service or in preparing to install the service that it otherwise would not have
incurred, a charge equal to the costs incurred by the Company, shall apply, but in no case

4.4 Public Telephone Surcharge
In order to recover the Company’s expenses to comply with the FCC’s pay telephone compensation
plan effective on October 7, 1997 (FCC 97-371), an undiscountable per call charge is applicable to
all intrastate calls that originate from any pay telephone used to access Company provided services.
This surcharge, which is in addition to standard tariffed usage charges and any applicable service
charges and surcharges associated with service, applies for the use of the instrument used to access
Company provided service and is unrelated to the service accessed from the pay telephone.
Pay telephones include coin-operated and coinless phones owned by local telephone companies,
independent companies and interexchange carriers. The Public Pay Telephone Surcharge applies
to the initial completed call and any reoriginated call (e.g., using the “#” symbol). The Public Pay
Telephone Surcharge does not apply to calls placed from pay telephones at which the Customer
pays for service by inserting coins during the progress of the call.
Whenever possible, the Public Pay Telephone Surcharge will appear on the same invoice
containing the usage charges for the surcharged call. In cases where proper pay telephone coding
digits are not transmitted to the Company prior to completion of a call, the Public Pay Telephone
Surcharge may be billed on a subsequent invoice after the Company has obtained information from
a carrier that the originating station is an eligible pay telephone.

4.5 Carrier Presubscription
4.5.1 General
Carrier Presubscription is a procedure whereby a Customer designates to the Company the
carrier which the Customer wishes to be the carrier of choice for intraLATA and
interLATA toll calls. Such calls are automatically directed to the designated carrier,
without the need to use carrier access codes or additional dialing to direct the call to the
designated carrier. Presubscription does not prevent a Customer who has presubscribed to
an IntraLATA or InterLATA toll carrier from using carrier access codes or additional
dialing to direct calls to an alternative long distance carrier on a per call basis.
4.5.2 Presubscription Options
Customers may select the same carrier or separate carriers for intraLATA and interLATA
long distance. The following options for long distance Presubscription are available:
Option A: Customer select the Company as the presubscribed carrier for IntraLATA and
InterLATA toll calls subject to presubscription.
Option B: Customer may select the Company as the presubscribed carrier for IntraLATA
calls subject to presubscription and some other carrier as the presubscribed carrier for
interLATA toll calls subject to presubscription.
Option C: Customer may select a carrier other than the Company for intraLATA toll calls
subject to presubscription and the Company for interLATA toll calls subject to
presubscription.
Option D: Customer may select the carrier other than the Company for both intraLATA
and interLATA toll calls subject to presubscription
Option E: Customer may select two different carriers, neither being the Company for
intraLATA and interLATA toll calls. One carrier to be the Customers' primary intraLATA
interexchange carrier. The other carrier to be the Customer's primary interLATA
interexchange carrier.
Option F: Customer may select a carrier other than the Company for no presubscribed
carrier for intraLATA toll calls subject to presubscription which will require the Customer
to dial a carrier access code to route all intraLATA toll calls to the carrier of choice for
each call.

4.5.3 Rules and Regulations
Customers of record will retain their primary interexchange carrier(s) until they request
that their dialing arrangements be changed.
Customers of record or new Customers may select either Options A, B, C, D, E or F for
intraLATA Presubscription.
Customers may change their selected Option and/or presubscribed toll carrier at any time
subject to charges specified in 4.5.5 below:
4.5.4 Presubscription Procedures
A new Customer will be asked to select intraLATA and interLATA toll carriers at the time
the Customer places an order to establish local exchange service with the Company. The
Company will process the Customer's order for service. All new Customers' initial requests
for intraLATA toll service presubscription shall be provided free of charge.
If a new Customer is unable to make selection at the time the new Customer places an order
to establish local exchange service, the Company will read a random listing of all available
intraLATA and interLATA carriers to aid the Customer in selection. If selection is still not
possible, the Company will inform the Customer that he/she will be given 90 calendar days
in which to inform the Company of his/her choice for primary toll carrier(s) free of charge.
Until the Customer informs the Company of his/her choice of primary toll carrier, the
Customer will not have access to long distance services on a presubscribed basis, but rather
will be required to dial a carrier access code to route all toll calls to the carrier(s) of choice.
Customers who inform the Company of a choice for toll carrier presubscription within the
90 day period will not be assessed a service charge for the initial Customer request.
Customers of record may initiate a intraLATA or interLATA presubscription change at
any time, subject to the charges specified in 4.5.5 below. If a Customer of record inquires
of the Company of the carriers available for toll presubscription, the Company will read a
random listing of all available intraLATA carriers to aid the Customer in selection.
