DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE (CONT'
Calculation of Distance
Usage charges for all mileage sensitive products are based on
the airline distance between the serving wire center locations
associated with the originating and terminating points of thecall. At present, Carrier does not offer mileage sensitiveproducts or 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
each of the Rate Centers. Obtain the Difference between the
"H" coordinates.
Step 3 - Square the differences obtained in Step
Step Add the squares of
difference obtained in Step
the "V"difference and
Step 5 - Divide the sum of the square obtained in Step 4 byten (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.
Formula:
(V I - V 2 ) 2 + (HI - H ) 2

Telecompetitive Service Offerings ("TSOs"(N)
From time to time, Carrier shall tariff rates or select
tariffed rates, the purpose of and/or design for which is to
retain Carrier's competitive position by offering rates which
are necessitated by competing offers received by or available
to existing or potential customers, which if not matched or
bettered would result in the loss of an existing or potential
customer and/or in the reduction of traffic volume of thecustomer. Carrier either shall require customer confirmationof the competitive offer in writing or shall confirm theavailability of a more favorable competitive rate from
published tariffs, marketing materials, or other public
sources to establish a customer's right to obtain a TSO.
TSOs will comply with the Carrier 1 s net revenuetest which is founded on established economic
principles ensuring above-cost pricing.
A customer or potential customer which is similarlysituated may request service under a new orpreviously tariffed TSO. To qualify as a similarly
situated customer for purposes of this Section , thecustomer seeking the TSO must demonstrate the
existence of circumstances substantially and
materially like those which justified the TSO astariffed.
An existing customer or potential customer unableto demonstrate being similarly situated under a
tariffed TSO may, nonetheless, be able to qualifyfor a different or new TSO tailored to thatcustomer i s circumstances.
TSOs are available for all rates published in thisTariff.
Whenever a customer i s competitive offer entails a
rate which is not at the time offered by the
Company, a specifically responsive competitive rate
(RCR) matching that otherwise available from the
competitive offering shall be tariffed in Section, following. Idaho Public Utilities Commission
