2.9.3 Identification and Rating of Toll VoIP-PSTN Traffic
A. Scope
Toll VoIP-PSTN Traffic is the traffic exchanged in time division multiplexing
("TDM") format that originates and/or terminates in Internet protocol ("IP") format.
This section governs the identification of Toll VoIP-PSTN Traffic that is required to
be compensated at interstate access rates (unless the parties have agreed otherwise)
by the Federal Communications Commission in its Report and Order in WC Docket
Nos. 10-90 et. al. FCC No. 11-161 (November 18, 2011) ("FCC Order") and the
FCC’s Second Order on Reconsideration (April 25, 2012) (“Second Order”).
Specifically, this section establishes the method of separating such traffic (referred to
in this tariff as "Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic") from the Customer's traditional
intrastate access traffic, so that such Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic can be billed in
accordance with the FCC Order and Second Order.
B. Rating of Toll VoIP-PSTN Traffic
The Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic identified in accordance with this tariff section will
be billed in accordance with the Company's applicable interstate switched access tariff.
Current and pending interstate access rates for the Company are located at
https://apps.fcc.gov/etfs/public/lecTariffs.action?idLec=283.

2.9.3 Identification and Rating of Toll VoIP-PSTN Traffic (continued)
C. Calculation and Application of Percent-VoIP-PSTN-Usage Factor
The Company will determine the number of Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic minutes of
use ("MOU") to which interstate rates will be applied under Section 2.9.3.B, above,
by applying a Percent VoIP Usage ("PVU") factor to the total intrastate access MOU
(however determined – either based on call detail information or PIU) exchanged
between the Company and the Customer, until July 13, 2012 and after June 30, 2014.
From July 13, 2012 through June 30, 2014, the PVU will be applied to only the
terminating intrastate access MOU. The PVU will be derived and applied as follows:
1) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.9.3.C 3) below, the Customer will
calculate and furnish to the Company a factor (the "PVU-A") representing
the whole number percentage of 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
until July 13, 2012 and after June 30, 2014. From July 13, 2012 through
June 30, 2014, the PVU will represent only the terminating intrastate access
MOU. 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) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.9.3.C 3) below, the 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 until July 13, 2012 and after June 30,
2014. From July 13, 2012 through June 30, 2014, the PVU will represent
only the terminating intrastate 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.

3) 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's end, or at both ends until July 13, 2012 and after June 30, 2014.
From July 13, 2012 through June 30, 2014, the PVU will represent only the
relevant 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 (1.0 minus the PVU-A factor).
Note: PVU factors will not be provided or collected by the Company for the
traffic period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. This represents the
period during which the Company’s terminating intrastate rate is equal to
its terminating interstate rate and PVU is not applied to originating traffic.
Traffic on or after July 1, 2014 will be subject to the most recently available
PVU factor on file with the Company for application of charges to
originating access traffic. PVU updates must be received at least 30 days
prior to July 1, 2014 if a new factor will apply.

20.General
Upon the written request of the Customer, delivered to the Company no later than
thirty (30) days following the date of service interruption a credit allowance will be
given when service is interrupted, except as specified in Section 2.20.2 following. A
service is interrupted when it becomes inoperative to the Customer, e., the
Customer is unable to transmit or receive, because of a failure of a component

An interruption period begins when the Customer reports to the Company a service
facility or circuit is inoperative and, if necessary, releases it for testing and repair by
the Company, as determined in its sole and reasonable discretion. An interruption
period ends when the service, facility or circuit is operative.
If the Customer reports a service, facility or circuit to be interrupted but declines to
release it for testing and repair, refuses access to its premise for test and repair by the
Company, or continues to make voluntary use of the service, the service, facility or
circuit is considered to be impaired but not interrupted. No credit allowances will be
made for a service, facility or circuit considered by the Company to be impaired.
The Customer shall be responsible for the payment of service charges for visits by the
Company s agents or employees to the premises of the Customer when the service
difficulty or trouble report results from the use of equipment or facilities provided by

Except as provided in Section 2.10.2 A., if a Customer s service is interrupted, and it
remains interrupted for eight normal working hours or longer after access to the
premises is made available and after being reported to be out of order, appropriate
adjustments or refunds shall be made to the Customer, when such adjustment exceeds
$1.00.
The amount of adjustment or refund shall be determined on the basis of the known
period of interruption, generally beginning from the time the service interruption is
first reported. The refund to the Customer shall be a pro rata part of the month's flat
rate charges (if any) for the period of days and that portion of the service facilities
rendered useless or inoperative. The refund may be accomplished by a credit on a
subsequent bill for the service.
For purposes of credit computation every month shall be considered to have seven
hundred and twenty (720) hours. For services with a monthly recurring charge, no
credit shall be allowed for an interruption of continuous duration of less than eight
(8) hours. The Customer shall be credited for an interruption of eight (8) or more
hours at the rate of 1/720th of the monthly charge for the services affected for each
day that the interruption continues. The formula used for computation of credits is as
follows:
Credit = A/720 x B
A = outage time in hours (must be 8 or more)
B = total monthly recurring charge for affected service.

SECTION 3 - SWITCHED ACCESS SERVICE
3.1 General
3.1.1 Switched Access Service, which is available to Customers for their use in furnishing their
services to End Users, provides a two-point communications path between a Customer's
Premises and an End User's Premises. It provides for the use of common terminating,
switching and trunking facilities, and for the use of common subscriber plant of the Company.
Switched Access Service provides for the ability to originate calls from an End User's
Premises to a Customer's Premises and to terminate calls from a Customer's Premises to an
End User's Premises in the LATA where it is provided.
3.1.2 When a rate as set forth in this tariff is shown to more than two decimal places, the charges
will be determined using the rate shown. The resulting amount will then be rounded to the
nearest penny (i.e., rounded to two decimal places).
3.1.3 In the absence of an ASR as described in Section 3.4, delivery of calls to, or acceptance of
calls from, the Customer's End User location(s) via Company-provided switched access
services shall constitute a Constructive Order and an agreement by the Customer to purchase
the Company's switched access services as described and priced herein.
3.1.4 Application of Access Charges to Toll VoIP-PSTN Access Traffic
A. In the absence of an agreement between the Company and the Customer specifying
the treatment of Toll VoIP-PSTN Traffic, all Toll VoIP-PSTN Access traffic will be
assessed switched access charges at the rates set forth in Section 2.9.3(B) of this
tariff.
B. The Company shall assess and collect switched access rate elements under this tariff
for access services, regardless of whether the Company itself delivers such traffic to
the called party’s premises or delivers the call to the called party’s premises via
contractual or other arrangements with an affiliated or unaffiliated provider of VoIP
service that does not itself seek to collect switched access charges for the same traffic.
The Company will charge for functions provided by the Company, its affiliated or
unaffiliated provider of VoIP service. For purposes of this provision, functions
provided by the Company, its affiliated or unaffiliated provider of VoIP service as
part of transmitting telecommunications between designated points using, in whole or
in part, technology other than TDM transmission in a manner that is comparable to a
service offered by a local exchange carrier constitutes the functional equivalent of
carrier access service.

trunk-side access to End Office switches, for the Customer s use in originating and
terminating communications. Basic FG Access service will be provided with Multi-
Frequency In Band Signaling (SS7 is also available, where capabilities exist).
Two types of Feature Group Access are available:
Tandem Connect Access: This option applies when the customer has no direct
facilities to the Company. All traffic is routed to and from Company s End Office via
the Customer s tandem provider. Delivery of calls to, or acceptance of calls from, the
Customer s End User location(s) via Company-provided Tandem Connect Access
services shall constitute a Constructive Order and an agreement by the Customer to
purchase the Company s switched access services as described and priced herein.
Direct Connect Access: The Company will provide facilities between the Customer
premises and a Company End Office. This transmission path is dedicated to the use
of a single Customer. The Company requires the Customer to submit an ASR or
comparable documentation for Direct Connect Access. Direct Connect Access is
provided on an Individual Case Basis as Special Service Arrangements pursuant to
Section 6 of this tariff.

Measurement of Access Minutes
When recording originating calls over FG Access with multi-frequency address
signaling, usage measurement begins when the first wink supervisory signal is
forwarded from the Customer s facilities. The measurement of originating call usage
over FG Access ends when the originating FG Access entry switch receives
disconnect supervision from either the originating End User s End Office (indicating
that the originating End User has disconnected), or from the Customer s facilities
whichever is recognized first by the entry switch.
For terminating calls over FG Access with multi-frequency address signaling, the
measurement of access minutes begins when a seizure signal is received from the
Carrier s trunk group at the Point of Presence within the LATA. The measurement of
terminating call usage over FG Access ends when a disconnect signal is received
indicating that either the originating or terminating user has disconnected.
When recording originating calls over FG Access with SS7 signaling, usage
measurement begins with the transmission of the initial address message by the
switch for direct trunk groups and with the receipt of an exit message by the switch
for tandem trunk groups. The measurement of originating FG Access usage ends
when the entry switch receives or sends a release message, whichever occurs first.
F or terminating calls over FG Access with SS 7 signaling, the measurement of access
minutes begins when the terminating recording switch receives the initial address
message from the terminating End User. On directly routed trunk groups or on
tandem routed trunk groups, the Company switch receives the initial address message
and sends the indication to the Customer in the form of an answer message. The
measurement of terminating FG Access call usage ends when the entry switch
receives or sends a release message, whichever occurs first.
Mileage, where applicable, will be measured in accordance with standard industry
practices.

Moves
A move of services involves a change in the physical location of one of the
following:
(a)
(b)
The point of termination at the Customer s Premises, or
The Customer s Premises
The charges for the move are dependent on whether the move is to a new location
within the same building or to a different building as described below:
(a)Moves Within the Same Building
When the move is to a new location within the same building, the charge for
the move will be an amount equal to one half of the nonrecurring charge for
the capacity affected. There will be no change in the minimum period
requirements.
(b)Moves to a Different Building
Moves to a different building will be treated as a discontinuance and start of
service and all associated nonrecurring charges will apply. New minimum
period requirements will be established for the new service. The Customer
will also remain responsible for satisfying all outstanding minimum period
charges for the discontinued service.

Installation of Optional Features
If a separate nonrecurring charge applies for the installation of an optional feature
available with Switched Access Service, the charge applies whether the feature is
installed coincident with the initial installation of service or at any time subsequent to
the initial installation of service.
For all other changes, including the addition of, or modifications to, optional featureswithout separate nomecurring charges, a charge equal to one half the Switched
Transport nonrecurring (i.e. installation) charge will apply. When an optional feature
is not required on each transmission path, but rather for an entire transmission path
group, an end office or an access tandem switch, only one such charge will apply.
Service Rearrangements
Service rearrangements are changes to existing services which do not result in either
a change in the minimum period requirements or a change in the physical location of
the point of termination at the Customer s premises or the Customer s End User
premises. Changes which result in the establishment of new minimum period
obligations are treated as disconnects and starts.
The charge to the Customer for the service rearrangement is dependent on whether
the change is administrative only in nature or involves an actual physical change to
the service.
Administrative changes will be made without charge(s) to the Customer. Such
changes require the continued provision and billing of the Access Service to the same
entity or change in jurisdiction.

SECTION 5 - SPECIAL CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, AND CONSTRUCTION
Special Contract Arrangements
At the option of the Company, services may be offered on a contract basis to meet specialized pricing
requirements of the Customer not contemplated by this tariff. The terms of each contract shall be
mutually agreed upon between the Customer and Company and may include discounts off of rates
contained herein and waiver of recurring, nonrecurring, or usage charges. The terms of the contract
may be based partially or completely on the term and volume commitment, type of accessarrangement, mixture of services, or other distinguishing features. Service shall be available to all
similarly situated Customers for a fixed period of time following the initial offering to the first contract
Customer as specified in each individual contract.
Special Service Arrangements
If a Customer s requirements cannot be met by services included in this tariff, or pricing for a
service is shown in this tariff as "ICB", the Company will provide, where practical, special
service arrangements at charges to be determined on an Individual Case Basis. These special
service arrangements will be provided if the provision of such arrangements are not
detrimental to any other services furnished under the Company s tariffs.
Special service arrangement rates are subject to revision depending on changing costs or
operating conditions.
If and when a special service arrangement becomes a generically tariffed offering, the tariffed
rate or rates will apply from the date of tariff approval.
Non-Routine Installation Charges
At the Customer s request, installation and/or maintenance may be performed outside the Company
regular business hours or in hazardous locations. In such cases, charges based on cost of the actual
labor, material, or other costs incurred by or charged to the Company will apply. If installation is
started during regular business hours but, at the Customer s request, extends beyond regular business
hours into time periods including, but not limited to, weekends, holidays or night hours, additional
charges may apply.
