The PIU factor will be used by Company to determine interstate and intrastate rates and charges where Company cannot itself determine the jurisdiction of the call transiting its network. For purposes of developing the projected interstate percentage, the Customer shall utilize the same considerations as those set forth in Section 2.3.3(B) following. The Company will designate the number obtained by subtracting the projected interstate percentage for originating and terminating access minutes from 100 (100 -projected interstate percentage = intrastate percentage) as the projected intrastate percentage of use. (B) For purposes of developing the projected PIU, the Customer shall consider every call that enters the Customer's network at a point within the same state as the state where the called station is located to be intrastate and every call that enters the Customer's network at a point in a state different from the state in which the called station is located to be interstate. (C) These whole number percentages will be used by the Company to apportion the use, rates, and/or nonrecurring charges between interstate and intrastate until a revised report is received.

Haas (Acceptance Stamp) Vice President and Deputy General Counsel 6400 C Street SW Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52406 SECTION 2 – REGULATIONS 2.3 Obligations of the Customer (Cont'd) 2.3.3 Jurisdictional Report Requirements (Cont'd) (D) The projected interstate percentage of use will be used to determine the charges as follows: The number of access minutes by local switch will be multiplied by the projected interstate percentage of use to determine the interstate access minutes. (i.e., number of access minutes x projected interstate percentage of use = interstate access minutes). The number of interstate access minutes so determined will be subtracted from the total number of access minutes (i.e., number of access minutes - interstate access minutes = intrastate access minutes). The intrastate access minutes for the group will be billed as set forth in the following sections. (E) Effective on the first of January, April, July and October of each year, the Customer may update the jurisdictional reports that require a projected interstate percentage. The Customer shall forward to the Company, to be received no later than 20 calendar days after the first of each such month, a revised report showing the interstate percentage of use for the past three months ending the last day of December, March, June and September, respectively, for each service arranged for interstate and intrastate use. Except as set forth in Section 2.3.3(A) preceding where jurisdiction can be determined from the recorded message detail, the revised report will serve as the basis for the next three months billing and will be effective on the bill date in the following month (i.e., February, May, August, and November) for that service. No prorating or back billing will be done based on the report. If the Customer does not supply the report, the Company will assume the percentage to be the same as that provided in the last quarterly report. For those cases in which a quarterly report has never been received from the Customer, the Company will assume that 50% of the traffic is intrastate.

Thereafter, a projected interstate percentage for such apportionment will be developed quarterly by the Company based on the data used to develop the projected interstate percentage of use as set forth in Section 2.3.3(A) preceding. Where call detail is insufficient to make such a determination, the Customer will be requested to project a interstate percentage of use to be used by the Company for such apportionment. (G) The Customer shall keep sufficient detail from which the percentage of interstate use can be ascertained and upon request of the Company make the records available for inspection. Such a request will be initiated by the Company no more than once per year. The Customer shall supply the data within 30 calendar days of the Company request. Once the request is received, the Customer will have thirty (30) days to supply or otherwise make available data to the Company. If the Customer does not provide the requested data, Company shall apply the 50% default PIU factor to Customer’s traffic. If the audit shows a substantial deviation from the Customer’s previously reported PIU for the audit period, Company may request call detail records on more than an annual basis from that Customer.

This section governs the identification of toll VoIP-PSTN (“toll VoIP”) traffic that in the absence of an interconnection agreement will be subject to interstate switched access rates in accordance with the Federal Communications Commission Report and Order in WC Docket Nos. 10-90, etc., FCC Release No. 11-161 (Nov. 18, 2011) (“FCC Order”) as it may hereinafter be amended or clarified. Specifically, this section establishes the method of distinguishing toll VoIP traffic from the customer’s total intrastate access traffic, so that toll VoIP traffic will be billed in accordance with the FCC Order. (2) This section will be applied to the billing of switched access charges to a customer that is a local exchange carrier only to the extent that the customer has also implemented billing of interstate access charges for VoIP-PSTN Traffic in accordance with the FCC Order. (B) Rating of toll VoIP-PSTN traffic The Telephone Company will bill toll VoIP-PSTN traffic which it identifies in accordance with this tariff section at rates equal to the Telephone Company’s applicable tariffed interstate switched access rates.

The OPVU and TPVU will be derived and applied as follows: (1) The customer will calculate and furnish to the Telephone Company an OPVU factor, along with supporting documentation, representing the whole number percentage of the customer’s total originating intrastate access MOU that the customer receives from the Telephone Company in the State that is originated by the Telephone Company in IP format. (2) The customer will calculate and furnish to the Telephone Company a TPVU factor, along with supporting documentation, representing the whole number percentage of the customer’s total terminating intrastate access MOU that the customer exchanges with the Telephone Company in the State that is sent to the Telephone Company and originated in IP format. (3) The OPVU, TPVU and supporting documentation shall be based on information that is verifiable by the Telephone Company including but not limited to the number of the customer’s retail VoIP subscriptions in the state (e.g., as reported on FCC Form 477), traffic studies, actual call detail, or other relevant and verifiable information. The customer shall not modify its reported PIU factor to account for VoIP-PSTN traffic.

In the event that the Telephone Company can not verify the customer’s OPVU and/or TPVU, the Telephone Company will request additional information to support the OPVU and/or TPVU, during this time no changes will be made to the existing OPVU and /or TPVU. The customer shall supply the requested additional information within 15 days of the Telephone Company’s request or no changes will be made to the existing OPVU and/or TPVU. If after review of the additional information, the customer and Telephone Company establish a revised and mutually agreed upon OPVU and/or TPVU factor, the Telephone Company will begin using the new factor with the next bill period. If the dispute is unresolved the customer may request that verification audits be conducted by an independent auditor, at customer’s sole expense. During the audit, the most recent undisputed OPVU and/or TPVU factor will be used by the Telephone Company. (5) In the absence of an interconnection agreement, at no time will the Telephone Company allow an OPVU or TPVU factor greater than the applicable State percentage as identified in Paragraph 963 of the FCC Order.

Originating and terminating calls will be measured by the Company to determine the basis for computing chargeable access minutes. For originating calls over Feature Group B or D or Direct Trunks, usage measurement begins when the originating Feature Group B or D switch receives the first wink supervisory signal forwarded from the Customer's point of termination. The measurement of originating call usage ends when the originating Feature Group B or D switch receives disconnect supervision from either the originating end user's local switch, indicating the originating end user has disconnected, or the Customer's point of termination, whichever is recognized first by the switch. For terminating calls over Feature Group B or D of Direct Trunks, the measurement of access minutes begins when the terminating Feature Group B or D, or Feature Group D Direct Trunk switch receives answer supervision from the terminating end user's local switch, indicating the terminating end user has answered. The measurement of terminating call usage over Feature Group B or D or Direct Trunk ends when the terminating Feature Group B or D or Direct Trunk switch receives disconnect supervision from either the terminating end user's local switch, indicating the terminating end user has disconnected, or the Customer's point of termination, whichever is recognized first by the switch. Access minutes or fractions thereof are accumulated over the billing period for each local switch and are then rounded up to the nearest access minute for each local switch.

The V&H coordinates method is used to determine mileage. This method is set forth in Section 2.8.2. The Local Transport Facility mileage rates are shown in Section 5.1.3 in terms of per mile per access minute. To determine the rate to be billed, first compute the mileage. Should the calculation result in a fraction of a mile, always round up to the next whole mile before determining the mileage. Then multiply the mileage by the appropriate Local Transport Facility rate. The amount to be billed shall be the product of this calculation (i.e., the number of miles multiplied by the per mile rate) multiplied by the number of access minutes.
