SECTION 2 -RULES AND REGULATIONS,(CONT'D.)
2.18 Identification and Rating of Toll VoIP-PSTN Traffic
This section governs the identification of Toll VoIP-PSTN Traffic that is required to be
compensatedat interstate access rates unless the parties have agreed otherwise by the F.C.C.in its
Report and Order in WC Dockets Nos.10-90,etc.,F.C.C.Release No.11-161 (November 18,
201l)(F.C.C.Order).Specifically,this section establishes the method of separating Toll VolP-
PSTN Traffic from the Customer's traditional intrastate access traffic,so that Toll VolP-PSTN
Traffic can be billed in accordance with the F.C.C.Order.Toll VolP-PSTN Traffic identified in
accordance with this tariff section will be billed at rates set forth in the Company's applicable
interstate switched access Tariff FCC No.l.
2.18.1 Calculation and Applicationof Percent-VolP-PSTN-Usage Factors
The Company will determine the number of relevant VolP-PSTN Traffic minutes of use
("MOU")to which interstate rates will be applied under Section 4,by applying a Percent
VolP Usage ("PVU")factor to the total terminating intrastate access MOU (however
determined -either based on call detail information,access lines or PIU)exchanged
between the Company and the Customer.On and after July 1,2014,the PVU will be
applied to both originating and terminating intrastate access MOU.The PVU will be
derived and applied as follows:
A.The Customer will calculate and furnish to the Company a factor (the "PVU-A")
representing the percentageof the total intrastate access MOU that the Customer
exchanges with the Company in the State,that (a)is terminating access sent to
the Company and that originates in IP format;or (b)is originating access
received from the Company and terminates in IP format after June 30,2014.This
PVU-A shall be based on information such as the number of the Customer'sretail
VolP subscriptions in the State (e.g.,as reported on FCC Form 477),traffic
studies,actual call detail,or other relevant and verifiable information.
B.Company will,likewise,calculate a factor (the "PVU-B")representing the
percentage of the Company's total intrastate access MOU in the State that the
Company originates or terminates in IP format.Through June 30,2014,the
PVU-B will representonly terminating access MOU.This PVU-B shall be based
on information such as the number of the Company'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.

2.18 Identification and Rating of Toll VolP-PSTN Traffic,(Cont'd.)
2.18.1 Calculation and Application of Percent-VoIP-PSTN-Usage Factors,(Cont'd.)
C.The Company will use the PVU-A and PVU-B factors to calculate an effective
PVU factor that represents the percentage of total intrastate access MOU
exchanged between the Company and the Customer that is originated and/or
terminated in IP format,whether at the Company's end,at the Customer'send,or
at both ends.Through June 30,2014,the PVU will represent only terminating
intrastate access MOU.The effective PVU factor will be calculated as the sum
of:(A)the PVU-A factor and (B)the PVU-B factor times (l.0 minus the PVU-A
factor).
D.The Company will apply the effective PVU factor to the applicable intrastate
access MOU exchangedwith the Customer,as described above,to determine the
number of relevant VolP-PSTN Traffic MOUs.
Example 1:The PVU-B is 5%and the PVU-A is 10%.The effective PVU
factor is equal to 14.5%PVU-A +(PVU-B x (1-PVU-A))=
PVU%.The Company will bill 14.5%of the Customer's
applicable intrastate access MOU in accordance with the
Company's interstate switched access tariff.
Example 2:The PVU-B is 0%and the PVU-A is 10%.The effective PVU
factor is 10%PVU-A +(PVU-B x (1-PVU-A))=PVU%.The
Company will bill 10%of the Customer's applicable intrastate
access MOU in accordance with the Company's interstate
switched access tariff.
Example 3:The PVU-A is 100%.No matter what the PVU-B factor is,the
effective PVU is 100%.The Company will bill 100%of the
Customer's applicable intrastate access MOU in accordance with
the Company's interstate switched access tariff.
