3.2 Voice Over Internet Protocol – Public Switched Telephone Network (“VoIP – PSTN”) Traffic
A. This section governs the identification and treatment of VoIP-PSTN Traffic
that is required to be compensated at interstate access rates unless the
parties have agreed otherwise in a written agreement. Specifically, this
section establishes the method of separating such traffic (referred to in this
Price List as “Relevant VOIP-PSTN Traffic”) from a Customer’s traditional
intrastate access Price List, so that such Relevant VOIP-PSTN traffic can be
billed in accordance with the FCC Order.
Company will bill and collect the full Access Reciprocal Compensation on
traffic exchanged with Customers when such traffic originates and/or
terminates in Internet Protocol format, as set forth in Section 51.913 of the
Federal Communications Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 51.913.1

Intrastate VoIP – PSTN traffic is subject to the Company’s applicable
interstate switched access rate per minute, as set forth in the Company’s
F.C.C. Price List No. 1.

B. Calculations and Application of Percent-VoIP-PSTN Usage

Company will determine the number of Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic
minutes of use (“MOU”) to which interstate rates will be applied under
subsection 3.2.A, above, by applying a Percent VoIP Usage (“PVU”)
factor to the total intrastate access MOU exchanged between a Company
End User and the Customer. The PVU will be derived and applied as
follows.

1. The Customer will calculate and furnish to Company a factor (the
“PVU-A”) representing the percentage of the total terminating
intrastate and interstate access MOU that the Customer
exchanges with Company in the State, that (a) is sent to Company
and that originated in IP format; or (b) is received from Company
and terminated in IP format. This PVU-A 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.

2. Company will similarly calculate a factor (the “PVU-B”)
representing the percentage of Company’s total terminating
intrastate and interstate access MOU in the State that Company
originates or terminates on its network in IP format. This PVU-B
shall be based on information such as the number of 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.

B. Calculations and Application of Percent-VoIP-PSTN Usage, Continued

3. Company will use the PVU-A and PVU-B factors to calculate a
PVU factor that represents the percentage of total terminating
intrastate and interstate access MOU exchanged between a
Company End User and the Customer that is originated or
terminated in IP format, whether at Company’s end, at the
Customer’s end, or at both ends. The PVU factor will be
calculated as the sum of: (A) the PVU-A factor and (B) the PVU-B
factor times (1.0 minus the PVU-A factor).

4. Company will apply the PVU factor to the total terminating
intrastate access MOU exchanged with the Customer to
determine the number of Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic MOUs.

Example 1: The PVU-B is 10% and the PVU-A is 40%. The PVU
factor is equal to 40% + (10% x 60%) = 46%. Company will bill
46% of the Customer’s terminating intrastate access MOU at its
applicable Price Listed interstate rates.

Example 2: The PVU-B is 10% and the PVU-A is 0%. The PVU
factor is 0% + (100% x 10%) = 10%. Company will bill 10% of the
Customer’s terminating intrastate access MOU at Company’s
applicable Price Listed interstate switched access rates.

Example 3: The PVU-A is 100%. No matter what the PVU-B
factor is, the PVU is 100%. Company will bill 100% of the
Customer’s terminating intrastate access MOU at Company’s
applicable Price Listed interstate switched access rates.

5. If the Customer does not furnish Company with a PVU factor, the
Company will utilize a PVU-A factor of zero.

C. Initial PVU-A Factor.

If the PVU-A factor is not available and/or cannot be implemented in
Company’s billing systems within 30 days of the effective date of this Price
List, the Company will adjust the Customer’s initial PVU-A to zero.

D. PVU Factor Updates

The Customer may update the PVU-A factor quarterly. The Customer shall
submit such update no later than the 15th day of January, April, July, and
October of each year. Revised PVU factors must be based on the data for
the prior three months ending the last day of December, March, June, and
September respectively. The Company will use the revised PVU-A factor to
calculate a revised PVU. The revised PVU will be used for future billing and
will be effective on the bill date of each month and will be used for
subsequent monthly billing until superseded by a new PVU factor. No
prorating or back billing will be done based on the updated PVU factors.

E. PVU Factor Verification

Not more than twice in any year, Company may ask the Customer to verify
the PVU-A factor furnished to Company and a Customer may ask Company
to verify the PVU-B factor and the calculation of the PVU factor. The party
so requested shall comply, and shall reasonably provide the records and
other information used to determine the respective PVU-A and PVU-B
factors.
