PRICE LIST FORMAT
Sheet Numbering - Page numbers appear in the upper right comer of the page. Sheets
are numbered sequentially. However, new sheets are occasionally added to the Price List.
When a new sheet is added pages already in effect, a decimal is added. For example, a
new sheet added between 14 and 15 would be 14.
Sheet Revision Numbers - Revisions numbers also appear in the upper right comer
each page. These numbers are used to determine the most current page revision on file
with the Commission. For example, the 4th Revised page 14 cancels the 3rd Revised page
14. Because of various suspension periods, deferrals, etc., the Commission follows in
their price list approval process, the most current sheet number on file with the
Commission is not always the price list page in effect. Consult the Check Sheet for the
sheet currently in effect.
Paragraph Numbering Sequence - there are five levels of paragraph coding. Each level
of coding is subservient to its next higher level.

lists the sheets contained in the price list, with a cross-reference to the current revision
number. When new pages are added, the check sheet is changed to reflect the revision.
An asterisk (*) designates all revisions made in a given filing. There will be no other
symbols used on this page if these are the only changes made to it (Le., the format, etc.
remains the same, just revised levels on some pages). The price list user should refer to
the latest check sheet to find out if a particular sheet is the most current on file with the

2.5.Service Interruption Measurement
In the event of an interruption of service that exceeds the minimum
requirements set forth in this paragraph, the Company shall make a
credit allowance at the Customer request for a pro rata
adjustment of all service charges billed by the Company for

allowance will be computed by dividing the duration of the service
interruption measured in twenty-four (24) hour days, from the time
the interruption is reported to the Company, by a standard thirty
(30)-day month, and then multiplying the result by the Company
fixed monthly charges for each interrupted service.

A x B = Credit Allowance
720
A=Duration of service interruptions measured in hours.
B=Company s fixed monthly charges for each interrupted service.
A period of time less than six (6) hours shall not be credited. In no
case shall the credit exceed the total monthly charges. No
adjustments will be made for periods of noncontinuous
interruptions, and no other liability shall attach to the Company in
consideration of such interruption to service.
A credit allowance will not be given for interruptions caused by
the negligence or willful act of the Customer, or interruptions
caused by failure of equipment or service not provided by the
Company.

Service Points
The Company provides long distance communications servIces to customers
throughout the State of Idaho.
Measurements
The Company offers flat rate service.
3.3 Calculation of Distance
Usage charges for all mileage sensitive products, if offered, are based on the
airline distance between the serving wire center locations associated with the
originating and terminating points of the call. The distance between the
originating and terminating points is calculated by using the "V" and "
coordinates of the serving wire centers as defined by BellCore (Bell
Communications Research), in the following manner:
Step 1 - Obtain the "V" and "H" coordinates for the serving wire center of the
originating and the destination points.
Step 2 - Obtain the difference between the "V" coordinates of each of the wire
centers. Obtain the difference between the "H" coordinates
Step 3 - Square the differences obtained in Step 2.
Step 4 - Add the squares of the "V" difference and "H" difference obtained in Step 3.
Step 5 - Divide the sum of the square obtained in Step 4 by ten (10). Round to the
next higher whole number if any fraction results from the division.
Step 6 - Obtain the square root of the whole number obtained in Step 5. Round to
the next higher whole number if any fraction is obtained. This is the distance
between the originating and terminating serving wire centers of the call.
