A.Monthly Rates Monthly rates are flat recurring rates that apply each month or fraction thereof that Private Line Transport Services are provided.For billing purposes,each month is considered to have 30 days. B.Nonrecurring Charges Nonrecurring charges are one-time charges that apply for a specific work activity. The type of nonrecurring charges that apply for Private Line Transport Services are:Service Provisioning charge (initial and subsequent),installation of the Channel Performance,installation of certain Optional Features and Functions and service rearrangements.Special Construction charges as defined in 3,3,following, may apply. 1.The Service Provisioning charge covers receiving,recording and processing customer information relating to an order and specific engineering functions performed to prepare for final installation of the requested service.The Service Provisioning charge-initial applies per customer request for work to be performed on one Private Line Transport Service.Should a customer request additional services of the same type be ordered and provided at the same time and location, one Service Provisioning charge-subsequent applies for each additional service. 2.The nonrecurring charge for installation of the Channel Performance applies once per each Channel Performance and includes its predefined technical specifications and the facilities from the customer designated premises to the serving wire center. 3.Nonrecurring charges apply for the installation of some of the Optional Features and Functions available with Private Line Transport Services.The charge applies whether the feature or function is installed coincident with the initial installation of service or at any time subsequent to the installation of the service,unless otherwise specified.

Generally,administrative changes (billing data,circuit identification without physical change)will be made without additional charges.Supersedures,as defined in 3.5,following,are an exception to that rule. All other service rearrangements will be charged for as follows and the appropriate Service Provisioning charge will apply in addition: •If the change involves the addition of another leg to an existing service,the nonrecurring charge for the Channel Performance rate element will apply.The charge will apply only for the leg that is being added. •If the change involves the addition of an optional feature or function which has a separate nonrecurring charge,that nonrecurring charge will apply. •If the change involves changing the type of Channel Performance on a service, a charge equal to the Channel Performance rate element nonrecurring charge will apply.The charge will apply per Network Access Channel affected. •For all other changes,including the addition of optional features without separate nonrecurring charges,a charge equal to the Channel Performance nonrecurring charge associated with the facility will apply. if the change involves reterminating an existing Voice Grade Network Access Channel onto a spare channel of a higher capacity service,only the Rollover nonrecurring charge,as specified in 3.1.B.6.,following,will apply.

Should the customer request to have work performed which involves the change of an: •Existing Voice Grade Service (i.e.,Standard or WATS)onto a multiplexed DS 1 Service and all of the following conditions are met,a rollover charge will apply to the lower speed service as specified in b.,following: •The services are provided between the same customer locations as the original service(s),and •All rollovers are performed at the same Company Central Office location,and •All services involved in the rollover are provided by the Company.

Mileage is shown in terms of mileage bands.To determine the rate to be billed, first compute the mileage using the V&H coordinates method,as set forth in the National Exchange Carrier Association Tariff (NECA)F.C.C.NO.4,then find the band into which the computed mileage falls and apply the rates shown for that band.When the calculation results in a fraction of a mile,always round up to the next whole mile before determining the mileage band and applying the rate. When hubs or bridging locations are involved,mileage is computed and rates applied separately for each section of the Transport Channels,i.e.,customer designated premises serving wire center to a hub,hub to hub and/or hub to customer designated premises serving wire center.However,when any service is routed through a hub for purposes other than customer specified bridging (e.g., the Company chooses to so route for test access purposes),rates will be applied only to the distance calculated between the serving wire centers associated with the customer designated premises.

Company Centrex C.O.-like switches are considered to be customer designated premises for purposes of administering and providing Private Line Transport Services. 4.1.1 CATEGORIES OF SERVICE The INFOSPAN category has several types of channels each with its own characteristics.Customers may order a Network Access Channel and select, from various Channel Performances and Optional Features and Functions, those that they desire to meet specific communications requirements. For each category of service,there are two distinct applications available.It is the responsibility of the customer to decide which application best fits their needs. End-Link or Mid-Link Application This application is intended for customers requiring Private Line Transport Service as part of an overall circuit,extending beyond the LATA.Several Channel Performances are available to facilitate compatibility and a mechanized Design Layout Record (DLR)is provided to the customer to assist in their overall design.The network channel interface between the Company facility and the remainder of the overall circuit is referred to as the Mid User-POT (Point of Termination).The network channel interface that is at the terminating end of the overall circuit is referred to as the End User-POT. End-to-End Application This application is intended for customers requiring an overall Private Line Transport Service by the Company within the LATA.No DLR will be provided since the performance and maintenance will be the responsibility of the Company.The network channel interface that is at the terminating end of the overall circuit is referred to as the End User-POT. For the purposes of ordering channels,each has been identified as a type of Private Line Transport Services.A detailed description of each channel type, including the appropriate Service Code to assist in ordering,is provided in 4.2, following.

B.Transport Channels The Transport Channels rate category provides for the transmission facilities between the serving wire centers associated with two customer designated premises,between a serving wire center associated with a customer designated premises and a Company hub or between two Company hubs.Transport Channels are portrayed in mileage bands.There are two rates that apply for each band,i.e., a flat rate per band and a rate per mile.Transport Channels mileage is based on the airline distance using V and H coordinates between wire centers serving the customer’s designated premises. C.Channel Performance The Channel Performance rate category provides the electronic equipment which is added to the channel to provide the desired level of transmission performance. It modifies the circuit with the basic performance necessary for the circuit to function.If appropriate,it may also provide various signaling parameters to enhance the basic performance.Included as part of the Channel Performance is a Network Channel Interface (NCI)arrangement which defines the technical characteristics at the interface between the customer and the Company.One Channel Performance charge applies per customer designated premises at which each Network Access Channel is terminated. D.Optional Features and Functions The Optional Features and Functions rate category provides for options which may be added to Private Line Transport Services to improve quality or utility to meet specific communications requirements.The rate element will be charged per port or Network Access Channel.Descriptions for each of the available Optional Features and Functions are found in the Service Descriptions set forth following for each channel type.
