WATS access line), the Company wil apply the rate center of the Customer's main biling
telephone number.
5.3.2 The airline distance between any two rate centers is determined as follows:
Step 1: Obtain the 'V' (vertical) and "H" (horizontal) coordinates for each Rate Center
from the above-referenced Bellcore document.
Step 2: Compute the difference between the "V" coordinates of the two rate centers; and
the difference between the two "H" coordinates.
Step 3: Square each difference obtained in step (b) above.
Step 4: Add the square of the "V" difference and the square of the "H" difference obtained
in step C) above.
Step 5: Divide the sum of the squares by 10. Round to the next higher whole number if
any fraction is obtained.
Step 6: Obtain the square root of the whole number result obtained above. Round to the
next higher whole number if any fraction is obtained. This is the airline mileage.
