Rounding
11. 1

Rounding at 18/6. Company follows the industry
practice of "rounding,that is, in its most basic
form, when call duration does not end on the
nearest whole six second increment, the call'
duration is rounded to the next whole 6 six second
increment. Services with billing increments of 6
second increments with an 18 second minimum are
billed as follows - a minimum of 3 call units,
equal to either 3 ICUs of 6 seconds each, or 1 MCU
of 18 seconds as the minimum, with additional callduration rounded to the next higher second
increment, i. e., the next ICU having a value in
this case of a whole 6 seconds.
Rounding to Whole Cents. Charges for each call are
totaled. If the computed charges include a
fraction of a cent, the fraction is rounded up tothe next whole cent (e.g., $1.4233 would be rounded
up to $1.43).

SECTION 3 - DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE (CONT'D)
Calculation of Distance
Usage charges for all mileage sensi ti ve products are based on theairline distance between the serving wire center locations
associated with the originating and terminating points of the call.
At present, Carrier does not offer mileage sensi ti ve products services.
The distance between the originating and terminating points is
calculated by using the V" and H" coordinates of the rate centers
as defined by AT&T in its Tariff No. 10 as filed with the FCC in the
following manner:
Step 1 - Obtain the V" and H" coordinates for the rate center of
the customer s switch and the destination point.
Step 2 - Obtain the difference between the V" coordinates of eachof the Rate Centers. Obtain the Difference between the
coordinates.
Step 3 - Square the differences obtained in Step
Step 4 - Add the squares of the V" difference and H" difference
obtained in Step
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 rate centers of the call.
