)
APPLICATION OF RCLEC, INC. FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY
Pursuant to Idaho Code $ 62-615,Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission")
rules and regulations, and the Telecommunications Act of 1996, RCLEC, Inc. ("RCLEC" or
"Applicant"), hereby seeks, a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity ("CPCN") for
authority to operate as a provider of facilities-based and resale local exchange
telecommunications services in eligible interconnection areas in Idaho, specifically, Qwest and
Verizon incumbent local exchange areas, as well as authority to offer interexchange interLATA
and intraLATA services statewide. In support of its Application, RCLEC provides the following
information:
Proposed Services
RCLEC, Inc. proposes to operate in Idaho as a wholesale carrier offering services to other
providers. To support these services, RLCEC is currently constructing a nation-wide network,
which includes a core structure of transport circuits connected to high-capacity soft switches and
media gateways in carrier hotels in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and
Dallas. Customer traffic will be picked up at one of two "super POPs" located in Virginia and
California where RCLEC's equipment will be collocated with RCLEC's customers' equipment
for handoff of traffic, which is then transported across RCLEC's backbone network to the
appropriate switch for routing to a terminating carrier. The super POPs utilize fault tolerant,
redundant equipment platforms connected to fully redundant circuits and carrier diverse meshed
backbone, ensuring ensure a high level of reliability for customer traffic.
RCLEC will receive and send traffic for Idaho customers from providers and will route
that traffic to its switch and media gateway located in Califomia. RCLEC will utilize high
capacity trunks between the ILEC and RCLEC as well as obtaining backhaul facilities from other
carriers to connect to ILEC access tandems or other points of interconnection in order to route
traffic to and from Idaho end users of RCLEC's carrier customers. RCLEC will monitor its
network serving customers in Idaho from a network operation center.
RCLEC initially will purchase or lease network facilities from the ILECs or other carriers
in Idaho, so it does not anticipate engaging in any construction for its initial network
deployment. If RCLEC anticipates the need to engage in construction of facilities at a later date,
it will obtain all necessary permits and regulatory approval prior to such construction.

Check Sheets - When a taiff filing is made with the Commission, an updated Check
Sheet accompanies the tariff filing. The Check Sheet lists the pages contained in the
tadfl with a cross-reference to the current revision number. When new pages are added,
the Check Sheet is changed to reflect the revision. An asterisk designates all revisions
made in a given filing (*). There will be no other symbols used on this page if these are
the only changes made to it (i.e., the format, etc. remain the same, just revised revision
levels on some pages.) The tariff user should refer to the latest Check Sheet to find out if

2.ll Reciprocal CompensationArransements (Cont'd)
2.ll.l General (Cont'd)
In the absence of negotiated arrangements between the Company and ONPs, the
Company's Reciprocal Compensation Arrangements to ONPs will be no higher
than those of the incumbent carrier for the region in which that incumbent is
providing service.
Recognizing the technical constraints of cellular carriers and other smaller carriers
where it is not technically possible for the Company to interconnect directly to
each of another carrier's switching offices, the Company will pay charges when
requested by the carrier for traffic that it terminates on such carrier's network as
specified above until such time as that carrier interconnects, through its own
facilities or a third carrier's facilities, directly to a Company switching office or
negotiates alternative arrangements.
2.11.2 Measurement of Access Minutes and Determination of Balance
All traffic subject to a Reciprocal Compensation Arrangement will be considered
terminating for usage measurement purposes, i.e., Company traffic is terminating
to the ONP and ONP traffic is terminating to the Company. Usage measurement
will begin when the Company entry switch receives answer supervision from the
Company's Customer's switching office or from the ONP's point of termination,
whichever occurs later. Usage measurement will end when the Company's entry
switch receives disconnect supervision from the Company's Customer's office or
from the ONP's point of termination, whichever occurs first.

The Company may institute volume and term arrangements, which involve discounts on
recurring charges, or discounts or waivers of non-recurring charges. Discounts based on
volume, term, or promotional arrangements will be available on arrangements where the
Customer commits to a term contract of one year or longer.
Nonrecurring and monthly recurring charges apply for each Service furnished by the
Company. Monthly recurring charges vary according to the time period for which the
Customer commits to take the Service. Unless otherwise noted, these standard rate
elements are used in calculating the monthly recurring charge for Services.
Because Type II Service prices are dependent upon another Service Provider's facilities,
Type II Service will be provided at the discretion of the Compahy and priced on an
Individual Case Basis, applied in a nondiscriminatory manner.
Transport Channel - Fixed
This rate element applies per channel for the transmission facility between the POPs
associated with two Customer Premises, between a POP associated with the Customer
Premises and a Company Point of Termination, or between two Company Points of
Termination.
Variable Mileage
This rate element applies per channel for the number of miles (interoffice miles) between
the two POPs that serve the terminal locations. Fractions of a mile are rounded up to the
next whole mile before rates are applied.
