For example, a new page added between pages 14 and 15 would be 14. 1. B. Page Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper right hand corner of each page. These numbers are used to determine the most current page version on file with the Commission. For example, the 4th revised page 14 cancels the 3rd revised page 14.

The check page lists the pages contained in the Price List with a cross-reference to the current revision number. When new pages are added, the check page 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. The Price List user should refer to the latest check page to find out if a particular page is the most current on file with the Commission.

The rates for Services provided in this Price List, unless otherwise specified herein, do not include Fees. Fees imposed by a particular jurisdiction (e.g., county or municipality) will be billed only to those Customers with lines in the affected jurisdiction.

Should a local, state or federal jurisdiction assert a right to impose Fees on the Company’s operations, the Company may elect to bill the Customer and collect such Fees or it may elect not to do so, pending the conclusion of any challenges to such jurisdiction’s right to impose Fees. If it has billed and collected the Fees and the Fees later are found to have been invalid and unenforceable, the Company shall credit or refund such amounts to affected Customers, less a reasonable administrative fee, only if the Fees collected were retained by the Company or the Fees delivered to the jurisdiction in question were later returned to the Company. If the Fees were paid to the jurisdiction in question and not returned to the Company, the Customer agrees that his/her/its recourse is against the jurisdiction in question and not against the Company. The Customer specifically agrees to hold the Company harmless from any and all liability for Fees that were delivered to the jurisdiction in question and not returned to the Company. C. In addition to the rates and charges described in this Price List, the Customer may be responsible for payment of taxes, charges or fees ordered by the Idaho PUC, the Idaho State Legislature, or local and county governments.

For purposes of this section, interest and present value will be calculated using the Prime Rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal on January 1st for the year during which Service is discontinued. E. All early termination liability set forth above is due and owing within thirty (30) days of Termination of Service. F. For example, suppose the Customer discontinues a thirty-six (36) month Contract during the twentieth (20) month of Service. Suppose, further, the sixty (60) month, thirty-six (36) month, twelve (12) month and month-to- month terms were available. The Customer's termination charge under this section would be the difference between the twelve (12) month rate and the thirty-six (36) month rate, multiplied by the twenty (20) months the Customer received Service, plus (1) any Non-Recurring Charges the Company had waived, with interest, and (2) the remaining balance on any Non-Recurring Charges the Company had agreed to spread out over the term, with interest. 2.17.4. Prior to the completion of the selected Service term plan, the Customer may renew or change to a different term plan without incurring early termination charges, provided the new term plan: (1) is for an equal or greater number of Circuits than the number ordered originally, and (2) is greater in length than the number of months remaining on the original Service term. Monthly Charges for the new term plan will be based on rates in effect at the time the new plan is ordered.

Rates Based Upon Distance Where charges for a Service are specified based upon distance, the following rules apply: 3.7.1. “V and H Coordinates” Distance between two (2) points is measured as airline distance between the Rate Centers of the originating and terminating telephone lines. The Rate Center is a set of geographic “V” and “H” coordinates associated with each NPA-NXX combination (where NPA is the area code and NXX is the first three digits of a seven-digit telephone number). The “V” and “H” coordinates for each Rate Center are found in the Local Exchange Routing Guide (LERG) issued by Telcordia. Where there is no telephone number associated with an access line on the Company’s network (such as a dedicated 800 or WATS access line), the Company will apply the Rate Center of the Customer’s main billing telephone number. The airline distance between any two (2) Rate Centers is determined as follows: A. Obtain the “V” (vertical) and “H” (horizontal) coordinates for each Rate Center from the LERG. B. Compute the difference between the “V” coordinates of the two (2) Rate Centers; and the difference between the two (2) “H” coordinates. C. Square each difference obtained in step B. above. D. Add the square of the “V” difference and the square of the “H” difference obtained in step C. above. E. Divide the sum of the squares by 10. Round to the next higher whole number if any fraction is obtained.

The phone never rings and the caller hears a message stating that the number dialed will not receive blocked calls. Auto Redial – calls back the last number called, whether to re-contact a person or because of a busy signal. If the line is busy, Auto Redial will continue to try the number for up to 30 minutes. When the line becomes free, the call will be placed and a special ring will notify the user. Calls can be placed or received while Auto Redial is at work. In addition, more than one number can be re-dialed at a time. Call Blocker – allows the user to reject calls from up to ten numbers, including the last number called if the user so designates. When a call from the list comes in, the user’s phone does not ring while the caller hears a recording indicating the call will not be accepted. Call Forwarding – directs all incoming calls to any Customer designated phone number. Call Forwarding/Busy Line – Don’t Answer (BLDA) – allows incoming calls that encounter a busy condition or are not answered after a customer-designated interval, to be automatically forwarded to another telephone number. The subscriber designates the number(s) when the Service is ordered. The Busy Line and the Don’t Answer functionality may be ordered as separate features.

Call Return – calls back the last incoming number that called, even if the user does not know the name or number of the caller. If the line is busy, Call Return keeps trying for up to 30 minutes. When the line is free, Call Return gives a signal with a special ring, and then proceeds to place the call. Calls can be placed or received while Call Return is at work. In addition, more than one number can be called back at a time. Call Trace – initiates a trace on the last call received. The number from which threatening or obscene calls are made will be provided to the local law enforcement authorities should the user wish to file a complaint.

Cancel Call Waiting, a free feature of Call Waiting, temporarily turns off Call Waiting by the user pushing *70 before the call is made. Call Waiting ID – allows the subscriber to see the name and number of the incoming call when Call Waiting activates. The caller can then answer the call or choose to not answer it. Type 2 or higher CPE is needed for this Service to function properly. Caller ID Blocking – blocks the Customer’s name and number from being transmitted on all outgoing calls from a particular line.
