Application of
Onvoy, Inc.
dlbla Onvoy Voice Services
For a Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity to Provide Local Exchange and
Access Telecommunications Services
Docket No. 0\f5-T 1 b 1
APPLICATION
Onvoy, Inc. dlb/a Onvoy Voice Services ("Onvoy" or "Applicant"), by its undersigned
counsel and pursuant to Idaho Code §§ 61-526-528, IDAPA 31.01.01.111, and Procedural Order
No. 26665, hereby applies to the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") for a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to provide resold and facilities-based local
exchange and access telecommunications service in the State of Idaho.
In support of this Application, Onvoy hereby provides the following information:
I. Proposed Services
Onvoy seeks authority to provide all forms of facilities-based and resold local exchange
and access telecommunications services to and from all points in the State of Idaho that are
currently or become open to competition!
Onvoy provides wholesale local exchange, competitive tandem switching, transit, long
distance, intrastate PR! service, direct inward dialing and SS7 services to other local exchange
carriers and interexchange carriers, as well as some retail enterprise customers. Onvoy seeks the
full range of resold and facilities-based local exchange and access authority so that it can have
A/74736978.3
the flexibility in provisioning services in the future. Facilities-based service will be provided via
(1) commercial wholesale agreement with incumbents or other carriers, (2) Onvoy's own
facilities, or (3) a combination thereof.
Initially, Onvoy intends to provide local exchange service in the areas served by Qwest
and does not plan to provide service in areas of any small or rural local exchange carriers.2
However, Onvoy does seek statewide authority so that it may expand into other services as
market conditions warrant and as additional service areas become open to competition.
Onvoy is technically and managerially qualified to provide competitive local exchange
and access services in Idaho. Onvoy's Idaho operations will be directed by its existing corporate
management, technical, and operations staffs who are responsible for the telecommunications
operations in other states. A description of the background of Onvoy's key personnel, which
demonstrates the extensive telecommunications experience of Onovy' s management team, is
attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
Onvoy is currently authorized to provide intrastate telecommunications service in
California, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa (interexchange only), Michigan, Minnesota, Montana,
Nebraska (interexchange only), Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota
(interexchange only), Texas (interexchange only), Utah, Washington and Wisconsin. Onvoy is in
the process of seeking similar authorization in the following states so that Onvoy can provide
services to the customers that may be assigned to Onvoy from its affiliate 360networks (USA)
Onvoy is separately filing a registration with respect to interexchange and "Other
Telecommunications Services".
2 At this time, Applicant does not seek to terminate any exemption held by a rural telephone
company pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 251(f).
2
A174736978.3
inc. ("360networks"):3 Arizona, Nebraska (local exchange), New Mexico, South Dakota (local
exchange), Texas (local exchange) and Wyoming. Onvoy is also seeking authorization to
provide intrastate telecommunications in New York. Onvoy has not been denied requested
certification in any jurisdiction, nor has any permit, license, or certificate been revoked by any
authority except where Onvoy sought authorization to provide services that were not within the
jurisdiction of the state agency.4 Onvoy is also authorized to provide interstate and international
telecommunications services by the Federal Communications Commission.

IV.Telecommunications Services
Onvoy proposes to provide resold and facilities-based local exchange and access
telecommunications services in Idaho.5 Applicant will begin offering access service shortly after
being authorized to do so by the Commission. Applicant does not currently have an estimated
date to begin offering local exchange service. Applicant does not currently plan to construct

telecommunications services to customers in those areas at this time. Initially, Onvoy will

in Idaho and will file such agreement with the Commission upon request. Onvoy will comply
with all applicable Idaho laws and Commission rules and regulations regarding advance
customer deposits.
X. CONCLUSION
As demonstrated by this application and pursuant to Idaho Code §61-526-528, IDAPA
31.01.01.111, and Procedural Order No. 26665, Onvoy's expertise in the telecommunications
sector will permit it to select the most economic and efficient services, thereby providing
customers with an excellent combination of price, quality, and customer service. Accordingly,
Onvoy anticipates its proposed service will increase consumer choice of innovative, diversified,
and reliable service offerings. The provision of more affordable and available local
telecommunications services will promote the health, welfare and economic well-being of the
citizens of Idaho. Onvoy respectfully submits that the public interest, convenience, and
necessity would be furthered by a grant of this Application for the authority to provide resold
and facilities-based local exchange and access telecommunications services.

A/74736978.3
WHEREFORE, Onvoy, Inc. d/b/a Onvoy Voice Services, respectfully requests that the

Iv. Payment Arrangements and Credit Allowances
A. Payment of Rates. Charges and Deposits
(1)The Company will, in order to safeguard its interests, require a Customer which has a
proven history of late payments to the Company or which does not have established
credit (except for a Customer which is a successor of a company which has
established credit and has no history of late payments to the Company), to make a
deposit prior to or at any time after the provision of a service to the Customer. The
deposit will be held by the Company as guarantee of the payment of rates and
charges. Such deposit may not exceed the actual or estimated rates and charges for
the service for a two-month period. The fact that a deposit has been made in no way
relieves the Customer from complying with the Company's regulations as to the
prompt payment of bills.
(2)Customers may satisfy deposit requirements as follows: in cash, certified funds,
money orders, acceptable bank letter of credit, acceptable third party guarantee, or
other forms of security acceptable to the company.
(3)Deposits will be refunded to the Customer, along with accrued interest when one of
the following conditions is met:
Service has been terminated or discontinued; or
A Customer is not currently delinquent and has made timely payment of bills for a
period of twelve (12) consecutive months. Timely payment means that no more than
two (2) bills during the previous twelve (12) months were paid beyond the due date;
or
Service has not been suspended for non-payment with the previous twelve (12)
months.
When service has been terminated or disconnected, the Company will deduct any and
all unpaid amounts from the deposit and the difference will be refunded. Deposits
held for Customers will accrue interest at the rate specified by the Commission, and
will be credited or paid to the Customer upon the termination of service.

related to the unexpired period of liability, multiplied by the discount rate of return and
contingencies. The amount determined shall be adjusted to reflect the predetermined estimated
net salvage, including any reuse of the facilities provided. This product is adjusted to reflect
applicable taxes.

utilized to provide services under this tariff shall not interfere with or impair
service over any facilities of the Company or its affiliates; cause damage to their
plant; impair the privacy of any communications carried over their facilities, or,

transmission is causing interference to others.
A Customer, joint user, or authorized user may not assign, or transfer in any manner, the
Service or any rights associated with the Service without the written consent of the
Company. The Company will permit a Customer to transfer its existing Service to
another entity if the existing Customer has paid all charges owed to the Company for
regulated access Services. Such a transfer will be treated as a disconnection of existing
Service and installation of new Service, and non-recurring installation charges as stated
in this Tariff will apply.

facilities and Services furnished by the Company to the Customer.
III. Obligations of the Customer
A. Damages
The Customer shall reimburse the Company for damages to the Company facilities
utilized to provide services under this tariff caused by the negligence or willful act of the

Customer's actions. The Company will, upon reimbursement for damages, cooperate
with the Customer in prosecuting a claim against the person causing such damage and the
Customer shall be subrogated to the right of recovery by the Company for the damages to
the extent of such payment.

III. Obligations of the Customer (Continued)
H. Jurisdictional Report Requirements
(1)In this section the term "trunk group" shall be assumed to also represent a single line
or trunk.
(2)Reporting by the Customer of the expected jurisdictional use of services is required
because the Company cannot determine the actual jurisdiction of the Customer's
usage from every type of call detail reporting. The information reported by the
Customer will be used by the Company in an effort to determine the appropriate
charges as set forth in Section 5. The Customer must always report this information
for those services or portions of services for which actual jurisdiction use cannot be
determined by the Company.
(3)Pursuant to Federal Communications Commission order FCC 85-145 released April
16, 1985, Interstate usage is to be developed as though every call that enters a
Customer network at a point within the same state as that in which the called station
(as designated by the called station number) is situated is an Intrastate
communication and every call for which the point of entry is in a state other than
where the called station (as designated by the called station number) is situated is
Interstate in nature.
(4)When a Customer orders a new Switched Access Service, the Customer shall, in its
order, state the proportion of the service which is to be provided for Interstate use.
This proportion is the Percent for Interstate Use or PIU. The Customer can either
specify one general Pill for the service usage or the Customer can specify an 8XX
terminating Pill and a residual. Pill. All PIUs shall be stated as whole numbers
percentages. If the Customer chooses to report one general Percent for Interstate
Use, then the general PIIJ will be the Customer's best estimate of the percentage of
the total use of the trunk group that will be Interstate in nature.
If the Customer chooses to provide a separate 8XX originating Pill, that PIll will be
the Customer's best estimate of the percentage of the total 8XX originating use of the
trunk group usage that will be Interstate in nature. The residual Pill would then be
the Customer's best estimate of the percentage of the total trunk group usage that will
not be 8XX originating usage and will be Interstate in nature.

H. Jurisdictional Report Requirements (Continued)
The reported Percentage(s) for Interstate Use PIU(s) will be used in the determination
of all Interstate and Intrastate charges for the trunk group, as set forth in Section 5
following, as well as for the associated charges for transport and port charges. The
PIU(s) remains in effect until it is superseded by a revised PIU(s).
When the Customer determines that any currently effective PIU(s) for one or more
trunk groups is no longer accurate, the Customer shall report a revised PIU(s) for
each trunk group. The Customer can report the new PJIJ(s) to the Company in
writing. The report must clearly identify each trunk group, the account number under
which it is billed, and both the current and revised PIU(s). The revised PIU(s) will
become effective on the first day of the next monthly billing period that begins at
least 15 business days after the day on which the Customer reports the revised PIIJ(s)
to the Company. No revisions to bills proceeding the effective date of the revised
PIU(s) will be made based on this report.
If no PIU is submitted as specified herein, then the PIU will be set on a default basis
of 50 percent Interstate traffic and 50 percent Intrastate traffic.
The Company will charge the Interstate terminating switched access rates to the
Customers for those minutes lacking jurisdictional information that are in excess of a
reasonable percentage (7%) of minutes for which this information is not transmitted.
For example, if 40% of a Customer's minutes sent to the Company do not contain
sufficient originating information to allow the Company to determine the originating
location, the Company would apply these provisions to those minutes exceeding the
7% floor, or 33% in this example.
(5) 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 thirty (30) calendar days of the
Company's request.

1V. Payment Arrangements and Credit Allowances
The Customer is responsible for the payment of all charges for facilities and Services furnished
by the Company to the Customer.
A. Payment of Rates, Charges and Deposits
(1) The Company will, in order to safeguard its interests, require a Customer which
has a proven history of late payments to the Company or which does not have
established credit (except for a Customer which is a successor of a company
which has established credit and has no history of late payments to the
Company), to make a deposit prior to or at any time after the provision of a
service to the Customer. The deposit will be held by the Company as guarantee
of the payment of rates and charges. Such deposit may not exceed the actual or
estimated rates and charges for the service for a two-month period. The fact that
a deposit has been made in no way relieves the Customer from complying with
the Company's regulations as to the prompt payment of bills. At such time as the
provision of the service to the Customer is terminated, the amount of the deposit
will be credited to the Customer's account and any credit balance which may
remain will be refunded. Deposits held for Customers will accrue interest at the
rate specified by the Commission, and will be credited or paid to the Customer
upon the termination of service.
At the option of the Company, such a deposit may be refunded or credited to the
Customer's account when the Customer has established credit or after the
Customer has established a one-year prompt payment record at any time prior to
the termination of the provision of the service to the Customer.

I.General
Switched Access Service, which is available to Customers for their use in furnishing their services to
End Users, provides a two-way communications path between a Customer's Premises and an End
User's Premises. It provides for the use of common terminating, switching and transport facilities.
Switched Access Service provides the ability to originate calls from an End User's Premises to a
Customer's Premises, and to terminate calls from a Customer's Premises location to an End User's
Premises in the LATA where it is provided. Switched Access Service must be ordered separately for
each LATA in which the Customer desires to originate or terminate calls.
Notwithstanding the above language, Company may provide only a portion of Switched Access
Service. Company is only responsible for the portions of the service it provides. For purposes of
clarity, Customer may not withhold payment from Company for the portions of the service Company
provides based on any dispute Customer may have with another carrier for the services such carrier
may provide.
II.Provision and Description of Switched Access Service Arrangements
Switched Access Service is provided in the following service type:
A. Feature Group D (FGD) Access
FGD Access, which is available to all Customers, is provisioned at the DS1 level and DS3 level
and provides trunk-side access to the Company Access Tandem and End Office switches.
FGD provides a trunk-side termination through the use of end office or access tandem switch
trunk equipment. Wink-start, start-pulsing and answer-supervisory signaling are sent by the
terminating office. Disconnect-supervisory signaling is sent from the originating or terminating
office. When FGD uses SS7 out of band signaling, no signaling will be done via the message
channel.
FGD switching is provided with SS7 out of band signaling. With SS7 out of band signaling, up
to 12 digits of the called party number dialed by the Customer's end user is provided by the
Company's equipment to the Customer's designated premises via 5S7 links.
The Company will establish a trunk group or groups for the Customer at the end office or access
tandem switch where FGD switching is provided. When required by technical limitations, a
separate trunk group will be established for each type of FGD switching arrangement provided.
Different types of FGD or other switching arrangements may be combined at the option of the
Company.

I.Common Channel Signaling Service:
SS7 Standard: Common Channel Signaling (CC S) is a protocol suite that allows for out-of-
band signaling for voice and data message services. Signaling System Seven (SS7) is
currently a widely deployed CCS protocol. The Company's CCS network is a digital data
network carrying signaling information, which interfaces with the voice/data network. To
ensure network reliability, Signal Transfer Points (STPs) are deployed in geographically
dispersed mated pairs. STP access requires interconnection to ports of both STPs of the
mated pair. The STP provides translations and routing functions for SS7 signaling messages
received from the Company's network signaling points and the SS7 networks of other
entities. There are two types of signaling messages, ISDN User Part (ISUP) messages are
used for call set-up and tear-down. This type of signaling allows a Customer to send
originating and terminating call set-up signaling information between the Customer's
designated premises, the Company's STP and other entities. The second type of signaling is
Transaction Capabilities Application Part (TCAP) messages. TCAP messages are used to
carry information between signaling points for call related databases, such as CNAM, 8XX
DB and LNP query service.

2. B-Link Connectivity: The Company requires Customers to establish B-Link Connectivity
upon issuance of an initial Access Service Request (ASR) Order. Bridging Links (B-Links)
provides a quad set of links that connect peer pairs of STPs. These links carry signaling
messages beyond their initial point of entry to a STP of another S57 network. The
Company requires that B-Link Connectivity occurs on a peer basis, with no resulting port or
message usage charges between parties. The Customer must have connectivity to the
Company's STP. The Company will provide all pertinent STP point code information to the
Customer at the time of order. To connect to the Company STP through a port, the
Customer must provide a telecommunication facility or link that provides a bi-directional
transmission and operates at a DSO level. This link is utilized exclusively for connecting to
the Customer's CCS network and the Company's CCS network for the transmission of
network control signaling data.
J.Miscellaneous Services
1. Presubscription is an arrangement whereby an end user may select and designate to the
Company an interexchange carrier (IXC) to access, without an access code, for Intrastate
interLATA calls, Intrastate intraLATA calls and Interstate interLATA calls subject to the
Company's FCC Access Tariff. This IXC is referred to as the end user's Primary
Interexchange Carrier (PlC). The end user may select as its PlC the Company, or any
other 1IXC that orders originating Feature Group D switched access service at the end
office that serves the end user. After the end user's initial selection of a predesignated
IXC, for any additional changes in selection a non-recurring charge applies as set forth in

considered acceptable only when both End Users and Customers are able to establish
connections with little or no delay encountered within the Company Network. The Company
reserves the right to apply protective controls, (i.e., those actions, such as call gapping, which
selectively cancel the completion of traffic), over any traffic carried over its Network, including
that associated with a Customer's Switched Access Service. Generally, such protective
measures would only be taken as a result of occurrences such as failure or overload of Company
or Customer facilities, natural disasters, mass calling or national security demands. The
Customer will notify the Company of anticipated peaked services as stated below. Based on the
information provided, the Company will work cooperatively with the Customer to determine the
appropriate level of control. In the event that the protective controls applied by the Company
result in the complete loss of service by the Customer, the Customer will be granted a credit
allowance for service interruption as set forth in Section 2.IV.D.
When a Customer uses the Company's facilities to offer services for which a substantial call
volume or peaked service is expected during a short period of time, the Customer must notify the
Company at least 24 hours in advance of each peak period. For events scheduled during
weekend or holidays the Company must be notified no later than 5:00 p.m. local time on the
prior business day. Notification should include the nature, time, duration and frequency of the
event, an estimated call volume, and the NPA NXX and line number(s) to be used. On the basis
of the information provided, the Company may invoke network management controls if required
to reduce the probability of excessive Network congestion. The Company will work
cooperatively with the Customer to determine the appropriate level of such control. Failure to
provide prescribed notification may result in Customer caused Network congestion, which could
result in discontinuance of service and/or damages.

W. Obligations of the Customer
In addition to obligations specified elsewhere in this tariff, the Customer has certain specific
obligations pertaining to the use of Switched Access Service, as follows:
A.Report Requirements: When a Customer orders Switched Access Service for both Interstate and
Intrastate use, the Customer is responsible for providing Jurisdictional Reports as set forth in
Section 2.11I.K, preceding. Charges will be apportioned in accordance with those reports. The
method to be used for determining the Interstate charges is set forth therein.
B.Supervisory Signaling: The Customer's facilities at the premises of the ordering Customer shall
provide the necessary On-Hook, Off-Hook answer and disconnect supervision.
C.Design of Switched Access Services: It is the Customer's responsibility to assure that sufficient
Access Services have been ordered to handle its traffic.
V. Switched Access Rate Categories
There are three types of rates and charges that apply to Switched Access Service. These are Monthly
Recurring Charges, Usage Rates and Non-Recurring Charges.
A.Monthly Recurring Charges: Monthly Recurring Charges are flat rates for facilities that apply
each month or fraction thereof that a specific rate element is provided.
B.Usage Rates: Usage rates are rates that are applied on a per access minute, per access line or per
query basis. Usage rates are accumulated over a monthly period.
C.Non-Recurring Charges: Non-Recurring charges are one time charges that apply for a specific
work activity (i.e., installation of new service or change to an existing service).

VI.Application of Rates
A. 8XX Database Query, Vertical Query Charge: The Vertical Query Charge applies for the
translation of a specific 8XX number to a ten digit telephone number on a per query
basis.
VII.Billing of Access Minutes
A. When recording originating calls over FGD with SS7 signaling, usage measurement
begins with the transmission of the initial address message by the switch for direct Trunk
groups and with the receipt of an exit message by the switch for tandem Trunk groups.
The measurement of originating FGD usage ends when the entry switch receives or sends
a release message, whichever occurs first.
For terminating calls over FGD with SS7 signaling, the measurement of access minutes
begins when the terminating recording switch receives the initial address message from
the terminating End User. On directly routed Trunk groups or on tandem routed Trunk
groups, the Company switch receives the initial address message and sends the indication
to the Customer in the form of an answer message. The measurement of terminating
FGD call usage ends when the entry switch receives or sends a release message,
whichever occurs first.

J. Toll Voice over Internet Protocol - Public Switched Telephone Network ("VoIP-PSTN")
Traffic
This section governs the identification and treatment of Toll VoIP-PSTN Traffic that is
required to be compensated at interstate access rates unless the parties have agreed
otherwise in a written agreement. Specifically, this section establishes the method of
separating such traffic (referred in this tariff as "Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic") from a
Customer's traditional intrastate access tariff, so that such Relevant VoIP-PSTN traffic
can be billed in accordance with the F.C.C. Order.
Company will bill and collect Interstate Switched Access rates on traffic exchanged with
Customers when such traffic originates and/or terminates in Internet Protocol format, as
set forth in Section 51.913 of the Federal Communications Commission's rules, 47
C.F.R. §51.913, regardless of whether the Company itself delivers such traffic to the
called party's premises or delivers the call to the called party's premises via contractual
or other arrangements with an affiliated or unaffiliated provider of interconnected Voice
over Internet Protocol service or a non-interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol
service that does not itself seek to collect Switched Access charges for this traffic.'
Intrastate VoIP-PSTN traffic is subject to the Company's applicable interstate switched
access rate per minute, as set forth in the Company's F.C.C. Tariff No. 2.

K. Calculation and Application of Percent VoJP-PSTN Usage
Company will determine the number of Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic minutes of
use ("MOU") to which interstate rates will be applied by applying a Percent VoIP
Usage ("P\TU") factor to the total intrastate access MOU exchanged between a
Company End User and the Customer. The PVU will be derived and applied as
follows.
The Customer will calculate and furnish to Company a factor (the "PVU-A")
representing the percentage of the total intrastate and interstate access MOU
that the Customer exchanges with Company in the State, that (a) is sent to
Company and that originated in IP format; or (b) is received from Company
and terminated in IP format. This PVU-A shall be based on information such
as 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.
2.Company will similarly calculate a factor (the "PVU-B") representing the
percentage of Company's total intrastate and interstate access MOU in the
State that Company originates or terminates on its network in IP format. This
PVU-B shall be based on information such as the number of Company'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.
3.Company will use the PVU-A and PVU-B factors to calculate a PVU factor
that represents the percentage of total intrastate and interstate access MOU
exchanged between a Company End User and the Customer that is originated
or terminated in IP format, whether at the Company's end, at the Customer's
end, or at both ends. The PVU factor will be calculated as the sum of: (A) the
PVU-A factor and (B) the PVU-B factor times (1.0 minus the PVU-A factor).

PSTN Traffic MOUs.
Example 1: The P\TUB is 10% and the PVU-A is 40%. The PVU factor is
equal to 40% + (10% x 60%) = 46%. Company will bill 46% of the
Customer's intrastate access MOU at its applicable tariffed interstate switched
access rates.
Example 2: The PVU-B is 10% and the P\TUA is 0%. The PVU factor is 0%
+ (100% x 10%) = 10%. Company will bill 10% of the Customer's intrastate
access MOU at Company's applicable tariffed interstate switched access rates.
Example 3: The PVU-A is 100%. No matter what the P\'U-B factor is, the
PVU is 100%. Company will bill 100% of the Customer's intrastate access
MOU at Company's applicable tariffed interstate switched access rates.
5.If the Customer does not furnish Company with a P\TU factor, the Company
will utilize a PVU-A factor of zero.
6.Initial PVU-A Factor
If the PVU-A factor is not available and/or cannot be implemented in
Company's billing systems by April 15, 2012, the Company will adjust the
Customer's bills to reflect a PVU-A factor of zero retroactively to January 1,

SECTION 6. ORDERING OPTIONS
I. General
This section sets forth the regulations and order related charges for Access Service Requests
(ASR) for Switched Access Service, as defined in this tariff. These charges are in addition to
other applicable charges set forth in other sections of this tariff.
A. Ordering Conditions
The Company may require an ASR for services offered under this tariff. However, in the
absence of an ASR, carriers utilizing the exchange access services set forth in this tariff are
deemed to have constructively ordered service which shall constitute an agreement by the
Customer to purchase the Company's switched access services as described and priced herein.
The format and terms of the ASR will be as specified in the industry Access Service Order
Guidelines, unless otherwise specified herein. A Customer may order any number of services
of the same type and between the same Premises on a single ASR. All details for services for a
particular order must be identical.
The Customer shall provide all information necessary for the Company to provide and bill for
the requested service. When placing an order for Access Service, the Customer shall provide
the following minimum information:
• Customer name and Premise(s) address(es);
• Billing name and address (when different from Customer name and address)
• Customer contact name(s) and telephone number(s) for the following provisioning
activities: order negotiation, order confirmation, interactive design, installation
and billing.
The order date (Application Date) is the date on which the Company receives a firm
commitment and sufficient information form the Customer to allow processing of the ASR.
The Customer is advised of the critical events in the provisioning process, the Application Date,
the Plant Test Date and the Service Commencement Date at the time the Company gives the
Customer a Firm Order Confirmation (FOC). The FOC is forwarded to the Customer within
two business days after the date on which all information needed to process the ASR has been
received by the Company.

B. Provision of Other Services
Unless otherwise specified herein, services offered under this tariff shall be ordered with an
ASR. However, in the absence of an ASR, carriers utilizing the exchange access services
set forth in this tariff are deemed to have constructively ordered service which shall
constitute an agreement by the Customer to purchase the Company's switched access
services as described and priced herein.
With the agreement of the Company, other services may subsequently be added to the ASR
at any time, up to and including the service date for the Access Service. When added
subsequently, charges for a Design Change as set forth in Section 6.11.11.3 following will
apply when an engineering review is required.
Additional Engineering is not an ordering option, but will be applied to an ASR when the
Company determines that Additional Engineering is necessary to accommodate a Customer
request. Additional Engineering will be provided by the Company at the request of the
Customer only when a Customer requests additional technical information after the
Company has already provided the technical information included on the Design Layout
Report as set forth herein. The Customer will be notified when Additional Engineering is
required, and will be furnished with a written statement setting forth the justification for the
Additional Engineering as well as an estimate of the charges. If the Customer agrees to the
Additional Engineering, a firm order will be established. If the Customer does not want the
service or facilities after being notified by the Company that Additional Engineering is
required , the Customer may cancel the order and no charges will apply. Once a firm order
has been established, the total charge to the Customer for the Additional Engineering may
not exceed the original estimated amount by more than 10 percent.

II. Access Order
A.Access Order: Unless service is constructively ordered as described in Section 1, an ASR is
required by the Company to provide a Customer with Switched Access Service as described
herein. An ASR will be required for each new similar service arrangement or group of
common circuits. The applicable charges are set forth under Section 6.II.G following.
When a Customer requests new or additional Switched Access Service, one or more ASR's
may be required. The number of orders required is dependent on the type of services and/or
facilities being requested.
When placing an order for either Direct Connect Service or Tandem Connect Service, the
Customer shall provide all standard ASR ordering information as specified in industry
guidelines. The Customer will also be required to provide this information to order
additional service for an existing service type. For new Customers ordering Tandem
Connect Service, the Customer will only be required to complete an ASR for installation of
new service.
Access Orders shall be placed to the Company's CLLI codes, these codes will be provided
to the Customer upon request and/or Order. The Company reserves the right to change
CLLI codes serving Customers and participating carriers based upon network needs.
B.Ordering, Rating and Billing of Access Services Where More Than One Exchange Carrier is
Involved
Meet point billing applies when more than one Exchange Carrier is involved in the
provision of Access Service. The Company accepts and adheres to the Ordering and
Billing Forum guidelines, Multiple Exchange Carrier Access Billing (MECAB) and
Multiple Exchange Carrier Ordering and Design (MECOD). This method allows each
provider to bill for the services it provides within the Multiple Bill option when there are
more than two companies providing access service. Each provider's Tariff or contract rates
apply.

C. Access Service Date Intervals: Access Service is provided with one of the following Service
Date intervals:
* Standard Interval
* Negotiated Interval
The Company will specify a FOC and the Service Commencement Date contingent on the ASR
being complete as received. To the extent the Access Service can be made available with
reasonable effort, the Company will provide the Access Service in accordance with the
Customer's requested interval, subject to the following conditions:
1.Standard Interval: The Standard Interval for Switched and Special Access Service will be
ten business days from the Application Date. This interval only applies to standard service
offerings for a Customer which is On-Net and at locations where there are pre-existing
facilities to the Customer Premises. Access Services provided under the Standard Interval
will be installed during Company business hours.
2.Negotiated Interval: The Company will negotiate a Service Date interval with the Customer
when:
a.The Customer requests a Service Date before or beyond the applicable Standard
Interval Service Date; or
b.There is no existing facility connecting the Customer Premises with the Company; or
c.The Customer requests a service that is not considered by the Company to be a standard
service offering (for example, if Additional Engineering is required to complete the
order); or
d.The Company determines that Access Service cannot be installed within the Standard
Interval.
The Company will offer a Service Date based on the type and quantity of Access Services
the Customer has requested. The Negotiated Interval may not exceed by more than six
months the Standard Interval Service Date, or, when there is no Standard Interval, the
Company offered Service Date.
All services for which rates are applied on an Individual Case Basis are provided with a
Negotiated Interval.

D. Access Service Request Modifications: The Customer may request a modification of its ASR
prior to the Service Commencement Date. All modifications must be in writing using the
industry ASR process. The Company, in its sole discretion, may accept a verbal modification
from the Customer. The Company will make every effort to accommodate a requested
modification when it is able to do so with the normal work force assigned to complete such an
order within normal business hours. Charges for access service order modification will apply as
set forth below, on a per occurrence basis.
Any increase in the number of Switched Access Services lines, Trunks, Direct Connect transport
facilities, Out of Band Signaling connections or any change in engineering or functionality of a
service will be treated as a new ASR with a new Service Date interval.
1. Service Commencement Date Changes: ASR service dates for the installation of new
services or rearrangement of existing services may be changed, but the new service date
may not exceed the original Service Commencement Date by more than 30 calendar days.
When, for any reason, the Customer indicates that service cannot be accepted for a period
not to exceed 30 calendar days, and the Company accordingly delays the start of service, a
Service Date Change Charge will apply. In addition, when the Customer submits a request
for a Service Date Change that is less than five business days from the date of notification
by the Customer, a Service Date Change Charge and an Expedite Charge will apply. No
Expedite Charges will apply if the Customer requests a Service Date Change that is more
than five business days from the date of request by the Customer but earlier than the original
requested Service Commencement Date.
If the Customer requested service date is more than 30 calendar days after the original
service date, the order will be canceled by the Company on the 31 s' day. Appropriate
cancellation charges will be applied. If the Customer still requires the service, the Customer
must place a new ASR with the Company.
The Service Date Change Charge will apply on a per order, per occurrence basis for each
service date changed. The applicable charges are set forth under Section 6.11.11 following.

2.Design Change Charge: The Customer may request a Design Change to the service ordered.
A Design Change is any change to an ASR which requires Engineering Review. An
Engineering Review is a review by Company personnel of the service ordered and the
requested changes to determine what change(s) in the design, if any, are necessary to meet
the Customer's request. Design Changes include such changes as the addition or deletion of
optional features or functions, a change in the type of Transport Termination (Switched
Access only) or type of Channel interface. Any other changes are not considered Design
Changes for purpose of this subsection and will require issuance of a new ASR and the
cancellation of the original ASR with appropriate cancellation charges applied.
The Design Change Charge will apply on a per order, per occurrence basis, for each order
requiring a Design Change. The applicable charges, as set forth under Section 6.11.H.
following, are in addition to any Service Date Change Charges that may apply.
3.Expedited Order Charge: When placing an Access Order for service(s) for which a
Standard Interval exists, a Customer may request a Service Commencement Date that is
earlier than the Standard Interval Service date, in which case an Expedite Charge will apply.
The Expedite Charge will not apply if the new Service Commencement Date is more than
five days from the date of the request to the Company of the expedited order request. The
request for an earlier service date may be received from the Customer prior to its issuance of
an ASR, or after the ASR has been issued but prior to the service date. The Company has
the exclusive right to accept or deny the Expedite Order request. However if, upon
reviewing availability of equipment and scheduled work load, the Company agrees to
provide service on an expedited basis and the Customer accepts the Company's proposal, an
Expedite Charge will apply.
If the Company is subsequently unable to meet an agreed upon expedited service date, then
the Expedite Charge will not apply.
In the event the Company provides service on an expedited basis on the Customer's request,
and the Customer delays service or is not ready for delivery of service at the time of
installation, a Service Date Change Charge will apply in addition to the Expedite Charge.
In the event that the Customer cancels an expedite request, the Expedite Charge will be
added to any applicable Cancellation Charge specified herein.

E. Cancellation of an Access Service Request
A Customer may cancel an ASR for the installation of Switched Access Service at any time prior
to notification by the Company that service is available for the Customer's use. The cancellation
date is the date the Company receives written or verbal notice from the Customer that the order
is to be canceled. The verbal notice must be followed by written confirmation within ten days.
A Customer may negotiate an extension of a service date of an ASR for installation of new
services or rearrangement of existing service, in which case a Service Date Change Charge will
apply. However, the new service date cannot exceed the originally established service date by
more than 30 calendar days. On the 31S day beyond the original service date, the ASR will be
canceled and the appropriate Cancellation Charge will be applied.
Except as stated herein, Cancellation Charges will apply as specified in Section 6.II.H following.
If the cancellation occurs prior to the Company's receiving the ASR, no charges shall apply.
A Customer may cancel an ASR for the installation of Special Access Service without incurring
a charge at any time prior to the acceptance of a Negotiated Interval Service Date by the
Customer. Cancellation Charges will apply for Special Access Service if the Customer cancels
more than 48 hours after the Application Date. Cancellation Charges for Expedited Orders will
be applied for any order canceled from the Application Date forward.
If the Company misses a service date for standard or Negotiated Interval Access Order by more
than 30 days due to circumstances such as acts of God, governmental requirements, work
stoppages and civil commotions, the Company shall not be liable for such delay and the
Customer may cancel the ASR without incurring cancellation charges.
