G.Service Rearrangements Service rearrangements are changes to existing (installed)services which do not result in either a change in the minimum billing period requirements or a change in the physical location of the Network Access Channel at a customer designated premises.The charge to the customer for the service rearrangement is dependent on whether the change is administrative only in nature or involves actual physical change to the service.Changes which result in the establishment of new minimum billing period obligations are treated as disconnects and new connects.Changes in the physical location of the Network Access Channel are treated as moves and are described in I.,following. Service rearrangements will be charged for as follows and the appropriate Service Provisioning Charge will apply in addition: •If the change involves the addition of another leg to an existing service,the nonrecurring charge for the Channel Performance will apply.The charge will apply only for the leg that is being added. •If the change involves the addition of an Optional Feature or Function which has a separate nonrecurring charge,that nonrecurring charge will apply. •If the change involves changing the type of Channel Performance on a service, the Channel Performance nonrecurring charge will apply. •If the change involves the changing of the type of service (e.g.,a change from VG2 to VG3),it will be treated as a discontinuance of the existing service and the installation of a new service.

Transport Mileage is shown in terms of mileage bands.To determine the rate to be billed,first compute the mileage using the V&H coordinates method,as set forth in the National Exchange Carrier Association Tariff F.C.C.No.4,then find the band into which the computed mileage falls and apply the rates shown for that band.When the calculation results in a fraction of a mile,always round up to the next whole mile before determining the mileage band and applying the rates. When bridging locations are involved,mileage is computed and rates applied separately for each section of the Transport Mileage.When any service is routed through a wire center for purposes other than customer specified bridging (e.g., the Company chooses to so route for test access purposes),rates will be applied only to the distance calculated between the serving wire centers associated with the customer designated premises.

Different locations may be designed as hubs for different facility capacities, e.g.,multiplexing from digital to digital may occur at one location while multiplexing from digital to analog may occur at a different location.When ordering,the customer will specify the desired multiplexing hub(s)selected from the National Exchange Carrier Association Tariff F.C.C.No.4.This catalog identifies the type(s)of multiplexing functions which are available and the SWCs at which they are available. Some of the types of multiplexing available include the following: •From higher to lower bit rate •From digital to voice frequency channels End-to-end services may be provided on channels of these facilities to a hub. The transmission performance for the end-to-end service provided between the customer designated premises will be that of the lower capacity or bit rate.For example,when a 1.544 Mbps facility is multiplexed to voice frequency channels,the transmission performance of the channelized services will be voice grade. The Company will commence billing the monthly rate for the facility to the hub on the service due date specified by the customer on the service order. Individual services utilizing these facilities may be installed coincident with the installation of the facility to the hub,or may be ordered and/or installed at a later date,at the option of the customer.The customer will be billed the appropriate rates and charges for the high capacity facility,including the multiplexer,at the time the facility is installed.Individual service rates (by service type)will apply for a NAC,CP and additional TM (as required)for each channelized service.These will be billed to the customer as each individual service is installed.

When cascading multiplexing is performed whether in the same or a different hub,a charge for the additional multiplexing unit also applies.When cascading multiplexing is performed at different hubbing locations,Transport Mileage charges also apply between the hubs. 5.1.6 SHARED USE Shared Use occurs when Private Line Transport Service and Switched Access Service are provided over the same high capacity facilities through a common interface.The facility will be ordered,provided and rated as Private Line Transport Service.The nonrecurring charge that applies when the Shared Use Facility is installed will be the nonrecurring charge associated with the appropriate Private Line Transport Service.Rating as Private Line Transport will continue until such time as the customer chooses to use a portion of the available capacity for providing Switched Access Service.As each individual channel is activated for Switched Access Service,the Private Line Transport rates will be reduced accordingly (e.g.,1/24th for a DS1 service,etc.).The customer must place an order for each individual Switched Access or Private Line Transport Service utilizing the Shared Use Facilities and specify the channel assignment for each such service. Switched Access Service rates and charges will apply for each channel of the Shared Use Facility that is used to provide Switched Access Service.Where Private Line Transport Service is provided utilizing a channel of the Shared Use Facility to the hub,those rates and charges will apply for the facility to the hub and individual service rates and charges will apply from the hub to the customer designated premises.The rates and charges that will apply to the portion from the hub to the customer designated premises will be dependent on the specific type of Private Line Transport Service that is provided (e.g.,Voice Grade,etc.).
