G. Determination of Airline Mileages
1. MTS rates between points (cities, towns or localities) within the same LATA are based on the
airline distance between rate centers as described in AT&TC's Tariff FCC No. 1. In general,
each point is designated as a rate center; certain small towns or localities are assigned adjacent
rate centers with which they are closely associated for communication purposes or by community
of interest.
2. Airline mileages are determined by using vertical and horizontal grid lines which have been
established across the United States. The spacing between adjacent vertical grid lines and
between horizontal grid lines represents a distance of one coordinate unit. A four-digit vertical
(V) and a four-digit horizontal (H) coordinate are computed for each rate center from its latitude
and longitude location on a map. The intersection of the horizontal grid and the vertical grid
identifies the V and H coordinates. The distance between any two rate centers is the airline
mileage computed between their respective coordinate intersections. The rates applicable to
mileage bands are provided in 1.2.1F preceding.
1.2.2 CONFERENCE SERVICE
Conference service is the furnishing of connections between three or more network access lines on one

period to warrant the construction, depending upon the circumstances in each case.
