Re: Requested Adoption Under Section 252(i) of the T A96
Dear Mr. Ekstrand:
VerizonNorthwest Inc., f/k/a GTE Northwest Incorporated ("Verizon ), a Washington
corporation, with principal place of business at 1800 41 st Street, Everett, Washington
98201 , has received your letter stating that, under Section 252(i) of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "Act"), RCC Holdings, Inc. ("RCCH"), a
Minnesota corporation, with principal place of business at 3905 Dakota Street SW
Alexandria, Minnesota 56308, wishes to adopt the terms of the Interconnection
Agreement between Sprint Spectrum L.P. ("Spectrum ) and Verizon that was approved
by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (the "Commission ) as an effective agreement
in the State of Idaho, as such agreement exists on the date hereof after giving effect to
operation of law (the "Terms ). I understand RCCH has a copy of the Terms. Please note
the following with respect to RCCH's adoption of the Terms.
By RCCH's countersignature on this letter, RCCH hereby represents and agrees
to the following five points:
(A)RCCH adopts (and agrees to be bound by) the Terms of the
SpectrumIV erizon agreement for interconnection as it is in effect on the
date hereof after giving effect to operation of law, and in applying the
Terms, agrees that RCCH shall be substituted in place of Sprint Spectrum
P. and Spectrum in the Terms wherever appropriate.
RCCH ill 252SIN 060203.DOC

Notice to RCCH and Verizon as may be required under the Terms shall be
provided as follows:

Facsimile: 703-351-3664
RCCH represents and warrants that it is an FCC-licensed provider of two-
way wireless service, and that its adoption of the Terms will cover
services in the State of Idaho only.
(D)In the event an interconnection agreement between Verizon and RCCH is
currently in effect in the State of Idaho (the "Original ICA"), this adoption
shall be an amendment and restatement of ,the operating terms and
conditions of the Original ICA, and shall replace in their entirety the terms
of the Original ICA. This adoption is not intended to be, nor shall it be
construed to create, a novation or accord and satisfaction with respect to
the Original ICA. Any outstanding payment obligations of the parties that
were incurred but not fully performed under the Original ICA shall
constitute payment obligations of the parties under this adoption.
RCCH 10 252SIN 060203.DOC
(E)V erizon' s standard pricing schedule for interconnection agreements in the
State of Idaho (as such schedule may be amended from time to time)
(attached as Appendix 1 hereto) shall apply to RCCH's adoption of the
Terms; provided, however, that if the Terms memorialize acceptance of
Verizon s offer of an optional reciprocal compensation rate plan for non-
Internet traffic subject to Section 251 (b )(5) pursuant to the industry letter
described in footnote 2 of this Letter, then the optional reciprocal
compensation rate plan in the Terms shall apply to this adoption instead of
the reciprocal compensation rates set forth in Appendix 1. RCCH should
note that the aforementioned pricing schedule may contain rates for certain
services the terms for which are not included in the Terms or that are
otherwise not part of this adoption, and may include phrases or wording
not identical to those utilized in the Terms. In an effort to expedite the
adoption process, Verizon has not deleted such rates from the pricing
schedule or attempted to customize the wording in the pricing schedule to
match the Terms. However, the inclusion of such rates in no way
obligates Verizon to provide the subject services and in no way waives
Veriz,?n s rights, and the use of slightly different wording or phrasing in
the pricing schedule does not alter the obligations and rights set forth in
the Terms.
RCCH's adoption of the Spectrum Terms shall become effective on July 23
2003. Verizon shall file this adoption letter with the Commission promptly upon
receipt of an original of this letter countersigned by an authorized officer of
RCCH. The term and termination provisions of the SpectrumIV erizon agreement
shall govern RCCH's adoption of the Terms. The adoption of the Terms is
currently scheduled to expire on July 30, 2003.
As the Terms are being adopted by you pursuant to your statutory rights under
section 252(i), Verizon does not provide the Terms to you as either a voluntary or
negotiated agreement. The filing and performance by Verizon of the Terms does
not in any way constitute a waiver by Verizon of any position as to the Terms or a
portion thereof, nor does it constitute a waiver by Verizon of all rights and
remedies it may have to seek review of the Terms, or to seek review in any way of
any provisions included in these Terms as a result of RCCH' s 252(i) election.
Nothing herein shall be construed as or is intended to be a concession or admission
by Verizon that any provision in the Terms complies with the rights and duties
imposed by the Act, the decisions of the FCC and the Commissions, the decisions
of the courts, or other law, and Verizon expressly reserves its full right to assert and
pursue claims arising from or related to the Terms.
Verizon reserves the right to deny RCCH's adoption and/or application of the
Terms, in whole or in part, at any time:
RCCH ID 252SIN 060203.DOC
(a)when the costs of providing the Terms to RCCH are greater than the costs
of providing them to Spectrum;
if the provision of the Terms to RCCH is not technically feasible; and/or
to the extent that Verizon otherwise is not required to make the Terms
available to RCCH under applicable law.
(b)
(c)
For avoidance of doubt, please note that adoption of the Terms will not result in
reciprocal compensation payments for Internet traffic. Verizon has always taken
the position that reciprocal compensation was not due to be paid for Internet
traffic under section 251(b)(5) of the Act. Verizon s position that reciprocal
compensation is not to be paid for Internet traffic was confirmed by the FCC in
the Order on ~emand and Report and Order adopted on April 18, 2001 FCC
Internet Order
),
which held that Internet traffic constitutes "information access
outside the scope of the reciprocal compensation obligations set forth in section
251(b )(5) of the Act. 1 Accordingly, any compensation to be paid for Internet
traffic will be handled pursuant to the terms of the FCC Internet Order not
pursuant to adoption of the Terms.2 Moreover
, in light of the FCC Internet
Order even if the Terms include provisions invoking an intercarrier
compensation mechanism for Internet traffic, any reasonable amount of time
permitted for adopting such provisions has expired under the FCC's rules
implementing section 252(i) of the Act.In fact, the FCC Internet Order made
clear th(it carriers may not adop"i provisions of an existing interconnection
agreement to the extent that such provisions provide compensation for Internet
traffic.
Should RCCH attempt to apply the Terms in a manner that conflicts with
paragraphs 3-6 above, Verizon reserves its rights to seek appropriate legal and/or
equitable relief.
In the event that a voluntary or involuntary petition has been or is in the future
filed against RCCH under bankruptcy or insolvency laws, or any law relating to
the relief of debtors , readjustment of indebtedness, debtor reorganization or
composition or extension of debt (any such proceeding, an "Insolvency
Proceeding ), then: (i) all rights of Verizon under such laws, including, without
limitation, all rights of Verizon under 11 U.C. ~ 366, shall be preserved, and
RCCH's adoption of the Verizon Terms shall in no way impair such rights of

II.Billing Factors
Terminating Traffic Factors:200
80%
100%
Verizon to RCCH
RCCH to Verizon
Total 2-way Usage
The Terminating Traffic Factors describe the level of local usage originating from one
Party and terminating to the other Party as a percentage of total 2-way Reciprocal
Compensation Traffic exchanged between the Parties. For example, a factor of 900/0 for
Verizon would mean that, of total2-way local MOUs exchanged between Verizon and
RCCH , 900/0 originated from a RCCH wireless end user customer and terminated to a
Verizon end user customer. These factors are used to apportion flat rated transport
facilities between the Parties and may be used where needed as a billing surrogate.
These factors are subject tb change based upon mutually acceptable traffic data on no
less than a quarterly basis. If factors are not updated quarterly, the Parties shall use the
last previously established factors.
Transitina Factor 1 00/0 Verizon Transited
The Transiting Factor is used to determine the amount of traffic to or from RCCH
that transits the Verizon network. The Transiting Factor is used when needed to
quantify transiting traffic for billing purposes, i.e.; when recorded billing data is
not sufficiently available. When applied to RCCH originated traffic, the Transiting
Factor determines the transiting traffic that was generated by RCCH. When
RCCH ID 252sin 060203 PRICING.DOC Idaho 01/31/02
applied to RCCH terminated traffic, the Transiting Factor determines the portion
of traffic terminating to RCCH that was not originated by Verizon. This factor is
subject to change based upon mutually acceptable traffic data no more
frequently than every three months. If the factor is not updated quarterly, the
Parties shall use the last previously established factor.
Traffic Factor 2:90%
Traffic Factor 2 describes the portion of Reciprocal Compensation Traffic
exchanged between the Parties that both originated and terminated within the
same local calling area (MT A). This Reciprocal Compensation Traffic Factor
applies to both originating and terminating MOUs.
III.Blocks Of 100 Numbers
Installation Charge per 100 Numbers $75.
Usage Compensation to RCCH , per Month, per Trunk $5.
Blocks of 100 numbers are made available only to CMRS providers under the terms and
conditions of the Terms. The Installation Charge applies to new blocks of numbers
provided pursuant to the Terms. Only full blocks of 100 numbers will be provided.
Number blocks are used in association with end office interconnection facilities obtained
by RCCH. RCCH is solely responsible for the costs of interconnection facilities used in
conjunction with blocks of 100 numbers. The Usage Compensation rate is the sole
compensation to RCCH for Reciprocal Compensation Traffic terminating to RCCH over
this interconnection arrangement. It applies per month, per DSO trunk or equivalent.
