Calculation of Distance
For services which are distance sensitive, usage charges are based on the airline distance
between the serving wire center locations associated with the originating and terminating
points of the call.

and "H" coordinates of the serving wire centers as defined by BellCore (Bell
Communications Research), in the following manner:
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
Step 4:
Step 5:
Step 6:
Formula:
Obtain the "V" and "H" coordinates for the serving wire center of the
Customer s switch and the destination point.
Obtain the difference between the "V" coordinates of each of the serving
wire centers. Obtain the difference between the "H" coordinates.
Square the differences obtained in Step 2.
Add the squares ofthe "V" difference and "H" difference obtained in Step 3.
Divide the sum of the square obtained in Step 4 by ten (10). Round to the
next higher whole number if any fraction results from the division.
Obtain the square root ofthe whole number obtained in Step 5. Round to the
next higher whole number if any fraction is obtained. This is the distance
between the originating and terminating serving wire centers of the call.
