APPLICATION OF QWEST
CORPORATION FOR APPROVAL OF
AN INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT
PURSUANT TO 47 U.S.C. §252(e)
CASE NO.: QWE- T -02-01
APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF
AMENDMENT TO THE
INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT
Qwest Corporation ("Qwest") hereby fies this Application for Approval of Amendment
to the Interconnection Agreement ("Amendment") which was approved by the Idaho Public
Utilities Commission on September 13, 2006 (the "Agreement"). The Amendment with Comtel
Telcom Assets, LP dba Vartec Telcom ("VarTec") 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 of1996 (the "Act").
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
portiones) thereof) discriminates against a telecommunications carrer 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.
Qwest 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 wil enable VarTec to

interconnect with Qwest facilities and to provide customers with increased choices among local
telecommunications services.
Qwest 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 pary to the negotiations.
Expeditious approval would further the public interest.
Respectfully submitted this rOday of March, 2011.

due to Qwest. Both CLEC and Owest agree to expedite the
investigation of any disputed amounts, promptly provide reasonably
requested documentation regarding the amount disputed, and work in
good faith in an effort to resolve and settle the dispute through informal
means prior to invoking any other rights or remedies.
A. If CLEC disputes charges and does not pay such charges by
the Payment Due Date, such charges may be subject to late
payment charges. If the disputed charges have been withheld
and the dispute is resolved in favor of Owest, CLEC will pay the
disputed amount and applicable late payment charges no later
than the next Bil Date following the resolution. CLEC may not
continue to withhold the disputed amount following the initial
resolution while pursuing further dispute resolution. If the
disputed charges have been withheld and the dispute is resolved
in favor of CLEC, Owest will credit CLEC's bil for the amount of
the disputed charges and any late payment charges that have
been assessed no later than the second Bil Date after the
resolution of the dispute.
the resolution of the dispute, as follows: Owest will credit the
CLEC's bil for the disputed amount and any associated intere.
or if the disputed amount is greater than the bill to be credite
pay the remaining amount to CLEC.
C, The interest calculated on the disputed amounts will be the
same rate as late payment charges. In no event, however, will
any late payment charges be assessed on any previously
assessed late payment charges.
D, If CLEC fails to dispute a rate or charge within 60 Days
following the invoice date on which the rate or ~harge app~ar~d,
adjustment will be made on a going-forwrd basis only, beginning
with the date of the dispute.
8.5 Security Deposits. In the event of a material adverse
change in CLEC's financial condition subsequent to the Effecive Date
of this Agreement, Qwest may request a security dep~sit. A "material
adverse change in financial condition" means CLEC is a new CLEC
with no established credit history, 'or is a CLEC that has not
established satisfactory credit with Qwest, or the Part is repeatedly
delinquent in making its payments, or is being reconnected after a
disconnection of Service or discontinuance of the processing of orders
by Owest due to a previous failure to pay undisputed charges in .a
'timely manner or due to the failure by CLEC to c~re a breac~ of this
Agreement in a timely manner. Owest may require a deposit to be
held as security for the payment of charges before the orde~ from
CLEC will be provisioned and completed or before reconnection of
Service. "Repeatedly Delinquent" means any payment of a material
amount of total monthly Biling under this Agreement received after the
Payment Due Date, three (3) or more times during the last twelve (12)
month period. The deposit may not exceed the estimated to~1 monthly
charges for a tw (2) month period based upon ~ecent Billing. Th~
deposit may be an irrevocable bank letter of credit, a letter of cr.
with terms and conditions accptable to Qwst, or some other form
mutually acceptable security such as a cash deposit. The deposit ma
be adjusted by CLEC's actual monthly average charge~, payment
history under this Agreement, or other relevant factors, but in no event
will the security deposit exceed five millon dollars ($5,000,000.00).
Required deposits are due and payable within thirt (30) D~~s after
demand and non-payment is subject to the terms and provisions of
Section 8,2 and Section 8,3 of this Agreement.
8.6 Interest on Deposits. Any interest earned on cash deposits
will be credited to CLEC in the amount actually eamed or at the rate
set forth in Secton 8.7 below, whichever is lower, except as otherwse
required by law, provided that, for elimination of doubt, the Pa~ies
agree that such deposits are not subject to state laws or regulations
relating to consumer or End User Customer cash deposits. Cash
deposits and accrued interest, if applicable, will be, credited to C.LE~'s
account or refunded, as appropriate, upon the earlier of the expiration
of the term of this Agreement or the establishment of satisfactory credit
with Owest, which will generally be one full year of consecutive tim~ly
payments of undisputed amounts in full by CLEC. Upon a maten~1
change in financial standing, CLEC may request, and Owe~t will
consider a reclculation of the deposit. The fact that a deposit has
been m~de does not relieve CLEC from any requirements of this
Agreement.
8,7 Late Payment Charge. If any portion of the payment is
received by Qwest after the Payment Due Date, or if any P?rtion ~f the
payment is received by Owest In funds that are not immediately
available, then a late payment charge will be due to Qwe~t. The late
payment charge is the porton of the payment not received by the
Payment Due Date multiplied by a late factor. The late factor is the
lesser of (i) the highest interest rate (in decimal value) which may be
levied by law for commercial transactions, compounded daily for.

B. If CLEC pays the disputed charges and the dispute is
resolved in favor of Qwest, no furter action is required. If CLEC
pays the charges disputed at the time of payment or at any time
thereafter, and the dispute is resolved in favor of the CLEC,
Qwst will adjust the Biling, usually within tw Billng cycles after

Description:
Measures the average interval (in business days) between the application date and the completion
date for service orders accepted and implemented.
· Includes all inward orders (Change, New, and Transfer order types) assigned a due date by
Qwest and which are completed/closed during the reporting period, subject to exclusions specified
below. Change order types for additional lines consist of all C orders representing inward activity.
· Intervals for each measured event are counted in whole days: the application date is day zero (0);
the day following the application date is day one (1).
· The Applicable Due Date is the original due date or, if changed or delayed by the CLEC, the most
recently revised due date, subject to the following: If Qwest changes a due date for Qwest
reasons, the Applicable Due Date is the CLEC-initiated due date, if any, that is (a) subsequent to
the original due date and (b) prior to a Qwest-initiated, changed due date, if any. NOTE 1
· Time intervals associated with CLEC-initiated due date changes or delays occurring after the
Applicable Due Date, as applied in the formula below, are calculated by subtracting the latest
Qwest-initiated due date, if anr, following the Applicable Due Date, from the subsequent CLEC-

Availabilty:
Performance wil be
measured beginning in the
first full month of QLSP
service (for the following
month's reporting).
Notes:
1. According to this definition, the Applicable Due Date can
change, per successive CLEC-initiated due date changes or
delays, up to the point when a Qwest-initiated due date change
occurs. At that point, the Applicable Due Date becomes fixed
(i.e., with no further changes) as the date on which it was set
prior to the first Qwest-initiated due date change, if any.
Following the first Qwest-initiated due date change, any further
CLEC-initiated due date changes or delays are measured as
time intervals that are subtracted as indicated in the formula.
These delay time intervals are calculated as stated in the
description. (Though infrequent, in cases where multiple
Qwest-initiated due date changes occur, the stated method for
calculating delay intervals is applied to each pair of Qwest-
initiated due date change and subsequent CLEC-initiated due
date change or delay. The intervals thus calculated from each
pairing of Qwest and CLEC-initiated due dates are summed
and then subtracted as indicated in the formula.) The result of
this approach is that Qwest-initiated impacts on intervals are
counted in the reported interval, and CLEC-initiated impacts on
intervals are not counted in the reported intervaL.
