RE:VERIZON NORTHWEST'S TARIFF ADVICE 02-13, INTRODUCING TWO
NEW OPTIONAL SERVICES FOR CUSTOMERS OF CENTRANET SERVICE.
THOSE SERVICES ARE CUSTOMER MOVES AND CHANGES (CMAC) AND
STATION MESSAGE DETAIL RECORDING (SMDR).
BACKGROUND
On October 4, 2002 , Verizon filed its Tariff Advice 02-13 to introduce two new optional
services, Customer Moves and Changes (CMAC) and Station Message Detail Recording
(SMDR) that will be made available for its customers who subscribe to CentraNet Service.
CentraNet Service is a service offering that uses the advanced capabilities of electronic
central offices to incorporate individual business lines into a single communications system. The
customer purchases an access line (CentraNet station line) separately from the desired feature
package. The station lines provide access to the central office switching capabilities while the
CentraNet packages, applied to each station line, provide a set of station and system calling
features.
The new service offerings proposed by Verizon will enhance the current CentraNet
Service. Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) will allow customers to access their call
data using a newer platform than what is currently tariffed. This call data can be accessed either
through the internet, via dialup to a centralized location or via dedicated access from the serving

Central Office to the customer s premises. The second product, Customer Moves and Changes
(CMAC), provides Centranet customers with the ability to prepare, schedule, and implement
certain feature changes and configurations of their CentraNet service from their own computer
terminal.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff has reviewed the filing and finds that the products offered are discretionary and that
the Company will be recovering its costs associated with these offerings. Staff recommends
approval.

Does the Commission wish to approve Verizon s Tariff Advice?
