Qwest Corporation dba CenturyLink QC hereby files this Application for Approval of
Amendment to the Interconnection Agreement ("Amendment") which was approved by the
Idaho Public Utilities Commission on February 28,2002 (the ooAgreement"). The Amendment
with T-Mobile USA Inc. fka VoiceStream Wireless Corporation ("T-Mobile") is submitted
herewith.
This Amendment was reached through voluntary negotiations without resort to mediation
or arbitration and is submitted for approval pursuant to Section 252(e) of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the'oAct").
Section 252(e)(2) of the Act directs that a state Commission may reject an amendment
reached through voluntary negotiations only if the Commission finds that: the amendment (or
portion(s) thereof) discriminates against a telecommunications carrier not a party to this
agreement; or the implementation of such an amendment (or portion) is not consistent with the
public interest, convenience and necessity.

CASE NO.: QWE-T-01-27
APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF
AMENDMENT TO INTERCONNECTION
AGREEMENT
Page I
CenturyLink respectfully submits this Amendment provides no basis for either of these
findings, and, therefore requests that the Commission approve this Amendment expeditiously.
This Amendment is consistent with the public interest as identified in the pro-competitive
policies of the State of Idaho, the Commission, the United States Congress, and the Federal
Communications Commission. Expeditious approval of this Amendment will enable T-Mobile
to interconnect with CenturyLink facilities and to provide customers with increased choices
among local telecommunications services.
CenturyLink further requests that the Commission approve this Amendment without a
hearing. Because this Amendment was reached through voluntary negotiations, it does not raise
issues requiring a hearing and does not concern other parties not a party to the negotiations.
Expeditious approval would further the public interest.
Respectfully submitted this 14th day of May,2014.

Attachment 1
Notwithstanding anything set forth in the Agreement to the contrary, the following terms and
provisions shall govern the exchange of Non-Access Telecommunications Traffic, as defined in the
FCC Orders, between the Parties.
1. General.
L.2.
"Bill and Keep" shall have the meaning set forth in 47 C.F.R. S 51.713.
Consistent with 47 C.F.R. S 51.701(b), "Non-Access Telecommunications Traffic" means traffic
that is originated or terminated as wireless traffic by T-Mobile's end user or end users of other
wireless carriers roaming on T-Mobile's' network.
T-Mobile agrees that it will only route traffic from T-Mobile's wireless end users, or end users
of other wireless carriers roaming on T-Mobile's network, to CenturyLink for termination to
CenturyLink end users or as Transit Traffic destined for a third party. CenturyLink agrees that
it will only route traffic from its own landline end users, or end users of local exchange carriers
or CMRS providers with switches that subtend Centurylink's Tandem Switch, to T-Mobile for
termination to T-Mobile's own wireless end users.
All other terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment are as defined in the Agreement.
2. lntercarrier Compensation.
2.L. Bill and Keep shall apply to the exchange of Non-Access Telecommunications Traffic, solely
when such traffic terminates to the end users of one of the Parties, or end users of other
wireless carriers roaming on T-Mobile's network. This compensation arrangement shall
supersede any previous usage-based terminating charges of:
2.7.L.End Office Switching, Tandem Switching and/or Common Transport charges, or
equivalent charges denominated in a similar fashion, such as End Office Call
Termination, Tandem Switched Transport, Tandem Transmission, and the like; or
2.L.2. Any "FCC Opt-ln Compensation" or equivalent charges assessed in accordance with
the interim rates previously prescribed pursuant to the Order on Remond ond Report
and Order, FCC 01-131, CC Dockets No. 96-98 and 99-58, adopted April 18, 2001 and
subsequent orders of the FCC.
2.2. Notwithstanding anything in this Amendment or in the Agreement to the contrary, Bill and
Keep shall not apply to CenturyLink's compensation for Transit Service. Transit Service shall
be subject to the Transit Rate that existed prior to this Amendment, and any adjustment to
reciprocal compensation rate element(s) that are assessed by a Party for terminating Non-
Access Telecommunications Traffic pursuant to the Orders shall not apply for purposes of
calculating the rate(s) to be charged by CenturyLink for providing a Transit Service.

3. Tandem Management.
When Transit Traffic originated by a third party is routed through a CenturyLink Tandem to T-
Mobile, and the third party is not legally obligated to compensate Centurylink for the Transit
Service provided in transporting the traffic to T-Mobile as a result of paragraph 999 of the FCC
Orders, then T-Mobile will either:
3.1.1. Establish direct interconnection with such third party; or
3.L.2. Pay the Transit Service charges for such traffic at the Transit Traffic rate set forth in the
Agreement.
When CenturyLink bills T-Mobile under Section 3.1.2 above, CenturyLink shall provide sufficient
detail for T-Mobile to verify the charges, and CenturyLink shall cooperate in providing any
additional information requested by T-Mobile, including but not limited to call detail records,
necessary to verify the accuracy of the charges.
Price Sheet Revisions. For purposes of reflecting the Bill and Keep arrangement in Section 2 above
and the rates for third party originated Transit Service in accordance with Section 3.1 above, the
Agreement is hereby amended by deleting in its entirety the schedule of rates and charges set forth
in Part G of the Agreement (or in any other schedule, attachment or exhibit to the Agreement where
the rates and charges under the Agreement are set forth), and replacing it with Exhibit A attached
hereto. lt is understood and agreed by the Parties that Exhibit A reflects the rates and charges
which are currently being billed and paid by the Parties, except as the same have been modified by
Section 2 and Section 3 above, and that neither Party will seek billing adjustments for past periods
based upon the rates shown on the attached Exhibit A that have been historically charged and paid
for the period up to and including the date of this Amendment, except for any billing adjustments
which may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to Section 2 and Section 3.1 above as of the
date this Amendment is implemented.
Reservation of Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Amendment or in the Agreement to the
contrary, and notwithstanding the execution of this Amendment by the Parties, if as a result of any
effective and unstayed decision, order, reconsideration or determination of any judicial or
regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction, any provisions in the FCC Orders regarding the
Bill-and-Keep arrangements for Non-Access Telecommunications Traffic are stayed, revised,
modified, reversed or remanded, then the Parties agree to comply with all requirements of such
applicable effective and unstayed decision, order, reconsideration or determination.
