General The Company cannot in all cases determine the jurisdictional nature of Customer traffic and its related access minutes. In such cases the Customer shall be requested to provide a projected estimate of its split between the interstate and intrastate jurisdictions. The following regulations govern such estimates and their reporting by the Customer. Pursuant to Federal Communications Commission Order FCC 85-145 released April 16, 1985, interstate usage is to be developed as though every call that enters a Customer network at a point within the same state as that in which the called station (as designated by the called station telephone number) is situated is an intrastate communication and every call for which the point of entry is a state other than that where the called station (as designated by the called station telephone number) is situated is an intrastate communication.

GENERAL REGULATIONS 2.3 OBLIGATIONS OF THE CUSTOMER (continued) 2.3.9 Jurisdictional Report Requirements (continued) A. General (continued) 1. Jurisdictional Reports When the Company is unable to determine the jurisdictional nature of the Customer’s traffic, the Customer shall report the Percent of Interstate Use (PIU) by LATA and such report will be used for billing purposes. Effective on the first of January, April, July and October of each year the Customer shall update the jurisdictional report. The Customer shall forward to the Company, to be received no later than twenty (20) days after the first of each such month, a revised report showing the intrastate and interstate percent of use for the past 12 months ending the last day of December, March, June and September, respectively for each LATA. The revised report will serve as the basis for the next three (3) months billing and will be effective on the bill date for that service. No prorating or back billing will be done based on the revised report. If the Customer does not supply the jurisdictional reports, the Company may deem the Customer to have reported percentages that are the same as those provided in the last quarterly report. For those cases in which a quarterly report has never been received from the Customer, the Company may deem the Customer to have reported percentages that are the same as those provided in the order for service. Absent percentages supplied (or deemed by the Company to have been supplied) by the Customer, the Company will, only for that portion of the Customer’s usage for which the Company is unable to determine the appropriate jurisdiction, bill the Customer’s usage at the jurisdictional rate which produces the highest charge. This default billing procedure will remain in effect until the Customer: provides call detail information to the Company pursuant to 2.3.11 following (if the provision of such information would permit the Company to determine jurisdiction), supplies the necessary jurisdictional percentages, or agrees with the Company on an alternate default billing procedure.

GENERAL REGULATIONS 2.3 OBLIGATIONS OF THE CUSTOMER (continued) 2.3.9 Jurisdictional Report Requirements (continued) B. Jurisdictional Audits The Customer shall keep sufficient detail from which the percentages of use reported to the Company (or deemed by the Company to have been reported) can be verified and upon request of the Company make such records available for inspection and audit. The Customer shall supply the required data to the Company within 30 calendar days of the Company request. The Customer must maintain these records for 24 months from the date the report became effective for billing purposes. Initiation of an audit will be at the sole discretion of the Company. The audit shall be performed by an independent party selected by the Company. An audit may be initiated by the Company for a single Customer no more than once per year. In the event that an inspection or audit reveals that any Customer reported percentages of use were incorrect, the Company shall apply the inspection or audit result to all usage affected by the inspection or audit. The Customer shall be back billed or credited, for a period retroactive to the date that the incorrect percentage was reported, but not to exceed 24 months. Back billed amounts are subject to a late payment penalty as set forth in 2.4.2.C. following. Should an audit reveal that the misreported percentage(s) of use has resulted in an underpayment of charges to the Company of five (5) percent or more of the total Access Services or Network Interconnection Services bill, the Customer shall reimburse the Company for the cost of the audit. Proof of cost shall be bills, in reasonable detail, submitted to the Company by the auditor. Within 15 days of completion of the auditor’s report, the Company will furnish a copy of the audit results to the person designated by the Customer to receive such results.

Usage Sensitive Rate Elements When the Customer’s usage has mixed intrastate and interstate traffic, for that portion of the usage for which the Company is unable to determine the appropriate jurisdiction, the usage charges will be prorated between the intrastate and interstate. The jurisdictional percentages or default procedure set forth in 2.3.9 preceding, will serve as the basis for prorating the charges. B. Monthly and Nonrecurring Chargeable Rate Elements When the jurisdiction of the rate element can be determined by the Company the charges applicable to the appropriate jurisdiction will be applied. Rate elements for which the Company cannot determine the appropriate jurisdiction will be prorated between intrastate and interstate. The jurisdictional percentages or default procedure set forth in 2.3.9. preceding, will serve as the basis for prorating the charges. Identification and Rating of VoIP-PSTN Traffic (A) Scope This section only applies to VoIP-PSTN traffic exchanged between the Company and the Customer in time division multiplexing ("TDM") format that originates and/or terminates in Internet protocol ("IP") format. VoIP-PSTN traffic originates and/or terminates in IP format if it originates from and/or terminates to an end-user Customer of a service that requires Internet protocol-compatible customer premises equipment. (1) (1) Although the Company has taken the position that this Price List, by its own terms, already applies to VoIP-PSTN traffic, as defined herein, the Company has included this section in the Price List out of an abundance of caution to prevent any claim that it does not so apply, and to implement the decision by the Federal Communications Commission in its Report and Order in WC Docket Nos. 10-90, etc., FCC Release No. 11-161 (Nov. 18, 2011) ("FCC Order") that VoIP-PSTN access traffic should be exchanged at interstate access rates (unless the parties have agreed otherwise). By its terms, the FCC Order is prospective only and does not address preexisting law with regard to the applicability of intercarrier compensation or the enhanced service providers ("ESP") exemption to VoIP-PSTN Traffic. Including this section in the Price List in no way alters or otherwise affects the applicability of this Price List to VoIP-PSTN Traffic before the effective date of the FCC Order.

GENERAL REGULATIONS 2.3 OBLIGATIONS OF THE CUSTOMER (continued) 2.3.10 Determination of Charges for Mixed Intrastate and Interstate Usage (continued) Identification and Rating of VoIP-PSTN Traffic (continued) (A) Scope (continued) (1) This section governs the identification of originating and terminating intrastate toll VoIP-PSTN traffic and facilities to which interstate switched access rates apply (unless the parties have agreed otherwise) in accordance with the transitional Intercarrier Compensation framework for VoIP-PSTN traffic adopted by the Federal Communications Commission in its Report and Order, FCC Release No. 11-161 (Nov. 18, 2011) ("FCC Order"). Specifically, this section establishes the method that will be used to identify the percentage of the customer’s intrastate access traffic, that will be treated as intrastate toll VoIP-PSTN traffic (referred to in this Price List as "Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic"), (2) This section applies to originating and terminating intrastate switched access minutes of use ("MOU") and facility rate elements of all Access customers. (3) The Customer shall not modify its reported PIU factor to account for the VoIP-PSTN Traffic for MOU and facility rate elements. (B) Rating of VoIP-PSTN Traffic* The Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic terminating from, or originating to the Customer, or from the Company or other provider and facility rate elements identified in accordance with this Price List section will be billed at rates equal to the Company’s applicable tariffed interstate switched access rates as specified at http://serviceguide.att.com/ABS/ext/Price ListDetails.cfm if those interstate rates are lower than their respective Idaho state access rates (Access Services Price List). Conversely, if the Idaho state access rates are lower, then this traffic will be billed utilizing the rates from the Access Services Price List. Hereafter, these billed rates will be referred to in this Price List as the relevant "VoIP Rates". * The method of identifying and rating originating VoIP minutes of use will become effective on July 1, 2014. The advanced filing of this tariff change prior to the July 1, 2014 effective date, is strictly for the benefit of our customers in providing advanced notice of these FCC mandated changes and ample time to submit their new VoIP factors.

GENERAL REGULATIONS 2.3 OBLIGATIONS OF THE CUSTOMER (continued) 2.3.10 Determination of Charges for Mixed Intrastate and Interstate Usage Identification and Rating of VoIP-PSTN Traffic (continued) (C) Calculation and Application of Percent-VoIP-Usage Factors The Company will determine the number of Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic originating MOU and the originating facility rate elements, if applicable, to which VoIP rates will be applied under subsection (B), above, by applying the Percent VoIP Usage ("PVU") factor to the intrastate access originating MOU exchanged and facilities between the Company and the Customer. The PVU factors will be derived and applied as follows: (1) The Customer, will calculate and furnish to the Company a factor (the "PVUC") on an ACNA basis which would aggregate traffic from all Carrier Identification Code(s) ("CIC") or Operating Company Numbers ( "OCNs"), associated with the ACNA. This PVUC represents the percentage (whole number) of the originating intrastate access MOU that the customer receives from the Company end users in the state which is sent from the Company that is terminated in IP format at the Customer's end user. This PVUC shall be based on information such as the number of the Customer’s retail VoIP subscriptions in the state (e.g., as reported on FCC Form 477), traffic studies, actual call detail, or other relevant and verifiable information satisfactory to the Company. (2) The Company will calculate and periodically update a factor (the "PVUT") representing the percentage (whole number) of the total intrastate access MOU that the Company exchanges with the customer end users in the State which is received from the Customer and terminated in IP format at the end user. This PVUT shall be based on information such as the number of the customer’s retail VoIP subscriptions in the state (e.g., as reported on FCC Form 477), traffic studies, actual call detail, or other relevant and verifiable information.     (T) (C) (C) (C) (T) (C) (C) (T) Idaho Public Utilities Commission Office of the Secretary ACCEPTED FOR FILING May 12, 2014 Boise, Idaho TELEPORT COMMUNICATIONS AMERICA, LLC IDAHO ACCESS SERVICES ISSUED: MAY 1, 2014 SECTION 2 EFFECTIVE: MAY 12, 2014 PAGE 23 RELEASE: 1 ADVICE NO. 2014-01 2.

PVU = PVUC + [PVUT x (1-PVUC)] is applied to the Company’s end user’s originating intrastate MOU and facility rate elements Example: The Customer reported that their PVUC as 40%. The Company’s PVUT is 10%. This results in the following: PVU = 40% plus (10% times (1-40%)) = 46% This means that 46% of the originating Intrastate MOU exchanged between the Company’s end users and the Customer will be rated at VoIP Rates. b) The PVU calculation below is applied when the Company bills are based on the actual originating call detail records for the intrastate Company’s IP traffic at VoIP Rates. The formula for usage will be as follows: PVU = PVUC x (1-PVUT) applied to the Company’s TDM end user’s total intrastate MOU.

The Customer reported that their PVUC as 40%. The Company’s PVUT is 10%. This results in the following: PVU = 40% times (1-10%) = 36% This means that 36% of the originating Intrastate MOU exchanged between the Customer and the Company’s TDM end users will be rated at VoIP Rates and the terminating intrastate 10,500 MOU will also be rated at VoIP Rates. For the facility rate elements the formula that is applied to the intrastate dedicated facilities is as follows: PVU = 40% plus (10% times (1-40%)) = 46% Therefore 46% of the Intrastate facilities will be rated at VoIP Rates. c) If the Customer does not furnish the Company with a PVUC pursuant to the preceding paragraph (C) (1), the Company will utilize a customer PVUC of 0%.

The Company will use the revised PVUC to calculate a revised PVU. The revised PVU factor will only apply prospectively and serve as the basis for billing until superseded by a new PVU. (E) PVU Factor Verification Not more than twice in any year, the Company may ask the Customer to verify the PVUC factor furnished to the Company. The Customer shall comply, and shall reasonably provide the records and other information used to determine their PVUC as specified in paragraphs (C) (1) and (4) above. The Customer shall retain and maintain (for verification purposes) the records and other information used to determine the PVUC, for at least 12 months after the PVUC is filed (or longer if any other section of the Company’s Price Lists, Service Guides, Guidebooks or applicable law requires a longer period).

This deviation issue will be dealt with in one of the following ways. The current PVUC will continue to be utilized until resolution from either of the 2 methods below. 1) The Company and the customer will come to an agreement as to an appropriate PVUC within 30 days of the provision of the PVUC records. 2) The Company within 45 days of the receipt of these records will make these customer PVUC records available to an independent auditor for review for the purpose of determining a PVUC. If these PVUC records are not available or these records are not substantive enough for the auditor to calculate a PVUC, then a PVUC factor of zero will be assigned. This zero PVUC will be utilized until either a PVUC can be agreed upon between the Company and the customer or an audit can be completed utilizing records acceptable for an audit conclusion.

If the Company becomes liable for any sales, use, gross receipts, excise, franchise, access or other local, state or federal taxes, charges or surcharges (however designated), excluding taxes on the Company’s net income, which are imposed on or based upon the provision, sale or use of services, and which are in addition to such taxes, charges or surcharges already specified in this Price List, in such event the Customer shall be responsible for payment of such taxes, charges or surcharges from the date that the Company first became liable for same. In the event of any dispute over the lawfulness of any tax, charge or surcharge, the Company may elect to impose such tax, charge or surcharge during such dispute, unless otherwise ordered by a court or other lawful authority with jurisdiction. The Company shall credit or refund any funds thus collected, if ordered to do so by such court or other lawful authority if such funds were retained by the Company, or were returned to the Company by the taxing jurisdiction which imposed such tax charge or surcharge. 2.3.15 Settlements Through Other Carriers Where traffic is transmitted through the facilities of another Carrier, including the Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier, the Company and the Customer may permit such other Carrier to act on their behalf for billing and settlements relating to such traffic.

GENERAL REGULATIONS 2.4 PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS AND CREDIT ALLOWANCES 2.4.1 Description of Rates and Charges There are three types of rates and charges that can apply to Access Services. These are monthly recurring rates, usage rates and nonrecurring charges. These rates and charges are applied differently to the various rate elements as set forth in applicable sections of this Price List. Other charges may also apply as set forth in D. following. A. Monthly Rates Monthly rates are flat recurring rates that apply each month or fraction thereof that a specific rate element is provided. For billing purposes, each month is considered to have thirty (30) days. B. Usage Rates Usage rates are rates that apply only when a specific rate element is used. These are applied on a per occurrence (e.g., access minute or query) basis. Usage rates are accumulated over a monthly period. C. Nonrecurring Charges Nonrecurring charges are one-time charges that apply for a specific work activity (i.e., installation of new services or rearrangements of installed services). 1. Installation of Service The nonrecurring charges applicable to the installation of Access Services are applied on a per facility, trunk or other basis as specified in the Price List. In addition, certain nonrecurring charges may consist of "first" and "additional" charges. When charges are listed in this manner, the "first" charge applies to the first facility or trunk specified on the order, with the "additional" charge applied to each additional facility or trunk specified on the same order.

GENERAL REGULATIONS 2.4 PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS AND CREDIT ALLOWANCES (continued) 2.4.2 Payment of Rates, Charges and Deposits A. Deposits The Company will only require a Customer which has a proven history of late payments to the Company or does not have established credit, to make a deposit prior to or at any time after the provision of a service to the Customer. No such deposit will be required of a Customer which is a successor of a Company which has established credit and has no history of late payments to the Company. Such deposit will not exceed the actual or estimated rates and charges for the service for a two (2) month period. The fact that a deposit has been made in no way relieves the Customer from complying with the Company's regulations as to the prompt payment of bills. At such time as the provision of the service to the Customer is terminated, the amount of the deposit will be credited to the Customer's account and any credit balance which may remain will be refunded. Such a deposit will be refunded or credited to the account when the Customer has established credit or, in any event after the Customer has established a one-year prompt payment record at any time prior to the termination of the provision of the service to the Customer. Interest rate shall be the rate established, and from time to time revised, by the appropriate governmental authority. In the event no such rate is set, then simple interest at the rate of up to 6% per annum shall be credited or paid to the Customer while the deposit is held by the Company. Interest will accrue from the date the Customer deposit is received by the Company to and including the date such deposit is credited to the Customer's account or the date the deposit is refunded by the Company. Should a deposit be credited to the Customer's account, as indicated above, no interest will accrue on the deposit from the date such deposit is credited to the Customer's account.

Bill Dates The Company shall bill on a current basis all charges incurred by and credits due to the Customer under this Price List attributable to services established or discontinued during the preceding billing period. In addition, the Company shall bill in advance charges for all services to be provided during the ensuing billing period except for charges associated with service usage and for the Federal Government which will be billed in arrears. The bill day (i.e., the billing date of a bill for a Customer for service under this Price List), the period of service each bill covers and the payment date will be as follows: 1. Access Service Unless otherwise provided in this Price List, for Access Service, the Company will establish a bill day each month for each Customer account or advise the Customer in writing of an alternate billing schedule. Alternate billing schedules shall not be established on less than sixty (60) days notice or initiated by the Company more than twice in any consecutive twelve (12) month period. The bill will cover non-usage sensitive service charges for the ensuing billing period for which the bill is rendered, any known unbilled non-usage sensitive charges for prior periods and unbilled usage charges for the period after the last bill day through the current bill day. Any known unbilled usage charges for prior periods and any known unbilled adjustments will be applied to this bill. Payment for such bills is due in Immediately Available funds in U.S. dollars by the payment date, as set forth in C. following. If payment is not received by the payment date, a late payment penalty will apply as set forth in C. following. Notwithstanding the above, bills will not be issued for amounts under $105.00. In such cases Customer billing will be held until the total amount of the bill equals or exceeds $105.00 or the Customer discontinues its service with the Company.

If the Customer does not receive a bill at least twenty (20) days prior to the 30 day payment due date, then the bill shall be considered delayed. When the bill has been delayed, upon request of the Customer the due date will be extended by the number of days the bill was delayed. Such request of the Customer must be accompanied with proof of late bill receipt. If such payment date would cause payment to be due on a Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday, payment for such bills will be due from the Customer as follows: - If the payment date falls on a Sunday or on a Legal Holiday which is observed on a Monday, the payment date shall be the first non-Holiday day following such Sunday or Legal Holiday. - If the payment date falls on a Saturday or on a Legal Holiday which is observed on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, the payment date shall be the last non-Holiday day preceding such Saturday or Legal Holiday. 2. Further, if no payment is received by the payment date or if a payment or any portion of a payment is received by the Company after the payment date as set forth in 1. preceding, or if a payment or any portion of a payment is received by the Company in funds which are not Immediately Available funds in U.S. dollars, then a late payment penalty shall be due to the Company. The late payment penalty shall be the payment or the portion of the payment not received by the payment date times a late factor. The late factor shall be 1.5% per month or portion thereof applied from the payment date to and including the date that the Company actually receives the payment.

In the event that the Company does not require the Customer to pay the disputed amount in full pending resolution of the dispute, late payment penalties will apply to amounts withheld pending settlement of the dispute and ultimately found to be payable. Late payment penalties are calculated as set forth in C.2 preceding except that when the Customer disputes the bill on or before the payment date and pays the undisputed amount on or before the payment date, the penalty interest period shall not begin until ten (10) days following the payment date. 2.

SWITCHED ACCESS SERVICE 4.1 SWITCHED ACCESS SERVICE (continued) 4.1.4 Measuring Access Minutes Calls will be measured to determine the basis for computing chargeable Access Minutes. In the event the Customer call detail is not available because of lost or damaged tapes or recording system outages, the Company will estimate the volume of lost Customer Access Minutes based on previously known values. The measured minutes for Access Calls are the chargeable Access Minutes. Access minutes or fractions thereof, the exact value of the fraction being a function of the switch technology where the measurement is made, are accumulated over the billing period for each Company End Office, and are then rounded up to the nearest Access Minute for each such End Office. A. Usage Measurement The measurement of Access Minutes begins when the recording switch receives answer supervision from the End User, indicating the End User has answered. The measurement of Access Minutes ends when the recording switch receives disconnect supervision from either the End User, indicating the End User has disconnected, or the Customer’s Point of Termination, whichever is recognized first by the recording switch.

B. When direct transport is utilized by the Customer between the Customer’s Serving Wire Center and the Access Tandem serving the Company End Office, the Tandem-Switched Transport Facility mileage is measured between such Access Tandem and Company End Office. To determine the charge to be billed, first compute the mileage using the V&H coordinate method as set forth in Section 2.8. If the calculation results in a fraction of a mile, always round up to the next whole mile. Multiply the rounded mileage by (1) the Tandem-Switched Transport Facility rate, (2) the Access Minutes to be billed and (3) the applicable Meet Point Billing Percentage determined as set forth in Section 2.4.8.
