CONTRACTS - TERMINATION AGREEMENTS
A1
The utility may require a contract for certain services for periods specified in this tariff.
A2
A contract will take the form of a written "termination agreement" relating specifically to a customer's service requiring
such written agreement. These are intended to safeguard the utility from the loss of nonrecoverable costs coincident
with a particular service investment.
A3
The amount of money covered by contract (termination agreement) is computed by subtracting all nonrecurring
charges from the sum of the nonrecoverable costs involved with a service installation. This figure is prorated, then, by
dividing it by the number of months in the specified contract period.
A4
Service may be terminated prior to the expiration of the contract period upon notification to the utility a reasonable
period in advance and upon payment of all charges due for service which has been furnished plus the contract
termination charges determined by the number of months remaining in the contract period.
A5
Where only a portion of a system is discontinued, contract termination charges apply for various items of equipment
discontinued as though they were the last of their kind installed.
A6
In the case of special equipment such proportion of the sum of the cost of the equipment installed and the cost of
removal, less the salvage value of the equipment removed, as the unexpired portion of the contract period bears to the
full contract period.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS RELAY SERVICE SURCHARGE
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) is a statewide service that provides individuals, who are hearing-impaired
or speech-impaired using specialized telecommunications devices and operator translations, with access to the
telecommunications network in Texas that is equal to that provided to other customers. The costs associated with the
service are included in the Texas Universal Service Fund and the recovery of the cost is a part of the Texas Universal
Service Fund Charge.
TEXAS UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND (Texas USF) CHARGE
The purpose of the Texas Universal Service Fund (Texas USF) is to implement a competitively neutral mechanism
that enables all residents of the state to obtain basic telecommunications services. Because targeted financial
support may be needed in order to provide and price basic telecommunications services in a manner to allow
accessibility by consumers, the Texas USF will assist local exchange companies (LECs) in providing basic local
telecommunications service at reasonable rates in high cost rural areas. In addition, the Texas USF will reimburse
qualifying entities for revenues lost as a result of providing Lifeline, Link Up and Tel-Assistance services to qualifying
low-income consumers under the Public Utility Regulatory Act (PURA); reimburse telecommunications carriers
providing statewide telecommunications relay access service and qualified vendors providing specialized
telecommunications device distribution service for the hearing-impaired and speech-impaired; and reimburse the
Texas Department of Human Services, the Texas Department for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, the Texas USF
administrator, and the Public Utility Commission for costs incurred in implementing the provisions of PURA Chapter 56
(relating to Telecommunications Assistance and Universal Service Fund).
The Texas USF Charge is for the recovery of the Company’s Texas USF assessment. The charge is assessed as a
percentage applied against the intrastate portion of the total taxable telecommunications receipts reported under
Chapter 151 of the Tax Code and applies to all retail customers except Lifeline, Link Up and Tel-Assistance
customers. The Charge will apply to Pay Phone Service Providers. The charge will be identified on the retail
customer’s bill as “Texas Universal Service”.
The Texas USF Charge will change periodically due to assessment fund and revenue changes. Effective September
1, 2004, the TUSF surcharge will be the approved Texas USF assessment percentage of intrastate
telecommunications services receipts and will apply to every retail customers’ bill except Lifeline and Link Up services.

LOCAL CALLING PLANS (continued)
Service Description (continued)
Local Calling Plans provide either flat rate or usage rated services into the designated calling area on either a oneway or a two-way basis.
In addition to currently available Local Exchange Service, customers in the exchanges offering Local Calling Plans
will have the option to select one of the following:
COMMUNITY CALLING PLAN (CCP) - Provides seven digit measured one-way calling into the designated
area on a usage charge basis with flat rate charges applying for two-way Local Exchange and applicable EAS
services.
PREMIUM CALLING PLAN (PCP) - Provides unlimited one-way calling into the designated area for a flat
monthly rate with flat rate charges applying to Local Exchange and applicable EAS services.
PREMIUM PLUS CALLING PLAN (PPCP) - Provides two-way calling to and from the designated area for a flat
monthly rate with flat rate charges applying to Local Exchange and applicable EAS services. This service
option requires a unique telephone number and requires a change for existing customers.

Private Pay Telephone Service.
The bridging of non-contiguous exchange service areas through the utilization of EAS or EMS is prohibited except as

Minimum contract period for Local Calling Plans is 30 days.
Local Calling Plans are not to be shared.
Customers with more than one line, that are group billed, cannot mix the Community Calling Plan with the Premium

Calls made to the designated area must be dialed by the customer on a station-to-station sent paid basis without the
assistance of a telephone company operator.
Collect, credit card, and third number billed calls are not included in the Local Calling Plans.
Customers may change from one LCP to another LCP one time without paying a service charge provided the
customer makes the change within 90 days of the date a Local Calling Plan was initially furnished the customer. The
appropriate service order charges from Schedule No. A-5 of this Tariff will apply to each change thereafter.
In some exchanges, access lines with Local Calling Plans may require the assignment of telephone numbers with a
unique NNX. Therefore, customers with existing service selecting a Local Calling Plan requiring a unique NNX will be
required to change their telephone number and be assessed the applicable charges associated with the telephone
number change.
All service charges associated with a Local Calling Plan will be waived for a period not to exceed 90 days from the
date a Calling Plan is offered in an exchange.

Direct-inward-dialing (DID) - Intercept
B1
Automated DID Intercept service permits station lines from one-way incoming DID trunks to be placed
on intercept and routed to a "change number announcement." This service allows a business DID
customer who is relocating to another exchange, changing telephone numbers or disconnecting DID
lines to have as many internal lines placed on intercept as desired. Dialing the customer's former DID
number results in a prerecorded message which announces the new telephone number.
B2
Automated DID Intercept service is offered to DID customers in five (5) line increments and is subject to
availability of facilities.
B3
When the number of DID lines placed on DID Intercept do not fall into increments of five, the number of
lines will be rounded up to the next five for billing purposes. For example, if the customer is
disconnecting 13 DID lines and requests all 13 to be put on intercept, the customer will be charged for
15 lines under the selected option.
B4
DID Intercept must be ordered coincidentally with the order request to change or to disconnect the DID
numbers to be intercepted.

New and existing Residential and Business customers will be able to sign up for Windstream SyncRing that includes
the items by customer type as follows:
The Windstream SyncRing features allow customers the advantage of simultaneous incoming call notifications for the
members of a user-defined SyncRing group. The simultaneous notification occurs when the SyncRing group primary
number receives a call. The first notified number that answers the call connects to the calling party. When the calling
party connects to a member of the group, the other notified members stop ringing.
The SyncRing Group will consist of one (1) Primary/Pilot number and up to four additional numbers or members that
will ring when the primary number rings (cellular/wireless phones may be used as one of the members’ numbers).
ISDN and Cellular/Wireless phone numbers cannot be used as Primary/Pilot numbers.
The SyncRing subscriber will also be provided with a SyncRing user interface. The user can do the following
functions through the SyncRing user interface:
1)
2)
Activate or deactivate the SyncRing feature on a line
Edit the non-primary numbers list (local, long distance and cellular/wireless numbers can also be
included)
The subscriber can access the user interface either locally from the primary number or remotely from any other
touchtone line. During remote access to the SyncRing user interface, the switch prompts the subscriber to enter a
personal identification number (PIN) for security reasons. Two subscribers cannot access the same data group at the
same time. The SyncRing customer is responsible for the payment of all toll charges for each call using a Long
Distance number as one of their dedicated SyncRing group numbers.
All applicable service charges including Primary or Secondary Service Order and Subscriber Line Charges, as
specified in Section 13 and of this tariff and the FCC Tariff #1, apply to all customers who subscribe to Windstream
SyncRing.

The unlimited long distance service portion of the bundled service plan is available for residential voice
application only. It is not available for any type of non-voice application, such as data transmission or

This product is designed for residential voice usage only. If it is discovered that a customer is using the

for unauthorized use of the service, and for violating the terms and conditions of the service offering.
All applicable Intrastate and Local Exchange tariff charges including but not limited to taxes and surcharges and any

DIRECT INWARD-OUTWARD DIALING (DIOD) SERVICE
General
Direct Inward-Outward Dialing Service is a Central Office based service that permits incoming calls to reach customer
provided equipment, without the assistance of an attendant, and allows the trunk to be used to place outgoing calls.
This service is provisioned with E&M signaling and as a 2-wire or 4-wire connection at the customer’s premises.
Conditions
The assignment of the telephone numbers and the sequence of numbers assigned to a customer are made at the
discretion of the Telephone Company. In addition to the Rules and Definitions in Schedule Number AC of this Tariff,
the rules and regulations pertaining to Direct Inward Dialing (DID) Service apply to DIOD Service.
The rates and charges associated with DIOD are in addition to the applicable rates and charges for DID Service.
Line Hunting is not required with DIOD Service.
The customer is responsible for providing intercept on assigned unused telephone numbers associated with DIOD
Service. Trunks arranged for DIOD Service may not be combined with trunk groups arranged to provide DID Service.
Overflow of calls between the two arrangements is not permitted. DIOD Service works in conjunctions with DID
Service.
When the customer’s serving central office is not equipped to provide DIOD Service, the DIOD may be provided from
a Telephone Company central office capable of furnishing DIOD Service, under the following conditions:




The central office furnishing the DIOD Service must be in the same LATA as the customer location
where the DIOD Service terminates;
Adequate facilities are available in the central office to provide the DIOD Service on a Foreign
Central Office (FCO) or Foreign Exchange (FX) basis;
All rules, regulations and charges applicable to FCO or FX Service are applicable;
Customers requesting to disconnect their FCO DIOD or FX DIOD Service to subscribe to DIOD
Service from their serving central office will be charged all applicable service charges associated
with reestablishing the service; the DIOD Service will be assigned a telephone number working out
of the customer’s serving central office.
DIOD Service will also be furnished as FCO or FX Service by customer request under the above conditions. When a
FX/FCO DIOD customer’s serving central office becomes available to provide DIOD Service, the same procedures
described above will be adhered to. Nonrecurring Charges for DIOD/DID can be located in Schedule Number A-5,
Service Charges.
Contract Termination Liability
In the event of early termination of the customer’s contract, the customer will be required to pay a penalty of 90% of
the term monthly rates applied to the initial ordered quantities for the number of months remaining in the contract. If,
before the end of the term agreement, the customer wants to change to a loner term or a different service of the
same or greater value with the same or longer term, no termination liability will apply to this change in service. A new
termination liability agreement, based on the new service or term, will replace the original termination agreement.
Before the end of the term agreement, if the Telephone Company files and gains appropriate approvals for lower
rates for the contracted service, the Telephone Company will apply the lower rates. However, the original termination
liability agreement will remain in affect and will be calculated at the higher rates.

DEFERRED PAYMENT PLAN (cont'd)
The Telephone Company shall not require an applicant for PLTS to enter into a deferred payment plan to pay those
outstanding debts for any services not subscribed to under PLTS including, but not limited to intraLATA and
interLATA toll charges.
If the Telephone Company is unable to determine the amount of outstanding debt owed for the services previously
received under basic local telecommunications service and now subscribed to under PLTS, the Telephone Company
shall not require an applicant to enter into any deferred payment plan.
The Telephone Company will determine the customer's deferred payment plan by:
-Determining the amount owed for services previously received under basic local telecommunications service
and which the customer subscribes to under PLTS; and
-Applying any unassigned partial payment(s) made by the customer, prior to the customer's subscription to
PLTS, to past debt which was owned to the Telephone Company for services previously received under basic
telecommunications service and which the customer subscribes to under PLTS;
-Not reallocating any undesignated partial payments to amounts yet to be incurred for basic local
telecommunications service.
Monthly payments under the deferred payment plan for past due charges, as determined above, shall not exceed the
greater of $10 per month or one-twelfth of the outstanding debt.
The customer's first payment shall be billed with the third billing cycle after initiation of PLTS and shall be billed on a
monthly basis thereafter until the outstanding debt is paid in full.
DISCONNECTION OF PLTS
Disconnection With Notice
The Telephone Company may disconnect PLTS after notice for any of the following reasons:
-
Failure to comply with the terms of a deferred payment plan for PLTS;
Upon conclusion of all periods for which an advance payment has been applied to the PLTS account and
when the customer's PLTS account has a zero balance; or
Violation of rules and/or conditions pertaining to the use of PLTS in a manner in which interferes with the
service of others or the operation of nonstandard equipment, if a reasonable attempt has been made to
notify the customer and the customer is provided reasonable opportunity to remedy the situation.

General
C1
Charges under this schedule are for abnormally long plant extensions to prevent unreasonably
burdening the general body of existing customers. This charge is in addition to the regular rates
and charges applicable for the service provided.
C2
Charges under this schedule, unless otherwise agreed upon, are payable in advance. If
cancellation is requested by the applicant, prior to the time construction begins, the application
will be cancelled by the utility, any advance payment will be refunded and no charge will be made
to the applicant, except as may be specifically covered by written contract.
C3
Charges in this schedule are:
C4
D1
Applicable to aerial and underground facilities whether utility or jointly owned or rented
and to all classes, types and grades of service.
D2
In addition to any charges or contributions applicable under Rules Nos. 13 and 15.

Route, type and measurement of plant extension ad service connections
C1
The distance for determining free footage and charge is measured from the point of connection
at the existing distribution facility to the point of service connection. The free footage portion on
private property, 2/10 mile maximum, is deducted from the total distance to determine the free
footage along public right-of-ways.
C2
Where the proposed route over private property will be part of the route to serve two or more
customers, or where, at the utility's option, the route will be on private property rather than on
public roads, such routes will be treated as being on public roads.
Collective application and group of applicants
C1
When construction is required to serve a new applicant, a survey is made of all prospects who
might be served from the new construction or an extension thereof and who might benefit by
being included in the project. Allowances are made only for those prospective customers making
bona fide applications for service.
C2
All applicants are grouped in a single project when there is not more than 5/10 mile of
construction between successive applicants. Separate projects are established whenever the
construction between any two successive applicants exceeds 5/10 mile. Two or more projects
are combined, however, whenever this results in lower charges (or no increase in charges) for all
the applicants involved.
C3
An applicant at any premises receives only a single plant extension allowance regardless of the
number of services ordered at the premises.
C4
Where an applicant orders service at more than one premises, he is treated as being a separate
applicant at each premises for purposes of this schedule.

Apportionment of charges to group of applicants

Applicants are divided into two groups. The first group includes all applicants whose collective

such applicants. The second group includes those applicants whose collective allowances do
not equal or exceed the construction allowances required to serve them. Any charges resulting
from construction to this group will be divided equally among all applicants after all allowances
have been applied.
C2
Exceptions
D1
No applicant is required to pay a higher charge than he would if the project where
established for him alone. Any difference between this charge and the average charge for
the group is absorbed by the utility.
D2
Charges for plant extensions where plant is extended to private property are assumed by
applicants on whose property such extensions are made. These charges are not included
in the overall computation for the project. Likewise, the free footage allowance on private
property is not included in the collective allowance for the project, except for Condition A1,
B2, C2.

advanced and the actual cost shall be advanced or refunded, as the case may be, within
60 days after completion of the utility's construction.
D2
When, within the first three-year period after completion of construction, the subdivision
density requirement as outlined in Rule No. 1 has been met, the utility will refund the
advance in D1 above. If, at the end of the three-year period the subdivision density
requirement has not been met, the utility will refund that portion of the advance
proportional to the ratio of the then permanent network access line termination density to
the subdivision density requirement. No interest will be paid on such advance.

When a special type of construction is furnished to a customer, an additional charge is made,
equal to the difference between the estimated cost of the special type of construction and the
estimated cost of standard construction. The customer is required to bear unusual maintenance
costs for the special construction.
C2
Where either underground or aerial construction of facilities is required (other than by choice of
the utility), an additional charge shall be made if the estimated cost of the type of construction
required (underground or aerial) exceeds the estimated cost of the other type of construction.
This charge shall be the difference between the two.
Contracts
C1
Contracts, covering periods not to exceed three years of telephone service, may be required by
the utility as a condition precedent to establishment of the service when extensions to outside
plant are necessary. Such contracts will not require advance or unusual payments in excess of
those otherwise required by this schedule, and shall not interfere with the utility's right to collect
amounts as provided for elsewhere in its tariff schedules.

Recurring facility charges
B1
Recurring facility charges as shown under Rate Schedule A2, Sheet No. 5 are based on the airline
measurement for each working pair between terminals on the line.
B2
In this schedule "terminals" mean the stations or station and switchboard or switching equipment
between which the off-premises facility is connected.
B3
An off-premises set may be located on other than the customer's premises provided the set is for the
use of the customer.
B4
For plant facilities on continuous property, the customer normally will provide and maintain, or pay the
expense of rights-of-way, poles, attachments, conduit or other supporting structures required for the
placing of wire facilities on his property.
B5
Recurring facility charges in association with tie lines under rates above apply to the airline distance
measured between the terminals of the tie line involved.
B6
When any tie line service involves more than two terminals, the airline distance in quarter miles will be
computed separately between each pair of terminals, fractional quarter miles being considered as
whole quarter miles. The sum of the airline distances in quarter miles, between all pairs of terminals in
a tie line service where more than two terminals are involved, will be charged for at the above rates,
except that only one first quarter mile charge will be made, the balance of the quarter miles of airline
mileage being charged for at the rates of additional quarter miles.
B7
The above rates also provide for the furnishing of two-point connections between any two sets
connected to and on the same premises as the attendant's position of switching unit in which a tie line
terminates.
B8
Connection of a single tie line to interexchange private line facilities will be provided as shown at the
rates and charges under the appropriate private line schedule.

DIGITAL CENTREX SERVICE
APPLICABILITY
Digital Centrex Service (DCS), a central office based touch dial service provided from the telephone company's
suitably equipped digital central office facilities. This is a central office service which is an alternative to customer
PBX, multifunction systems, and Key Telephone Systems (KTS). This service can also be used to enhance existing
key telephone systems.
DCS consists of Centrex access lines, intragroup lines, and optional features packages plus an assortment of
optional features. The service does not include any customer premises equipment.
The equipment permits lines connected to the service to dial each other and to dial outgoing calls directly. Incoming
calls are received by direct inward dialing from the calling party to the station line or through a console attendant. A
centrex line is required for each station at the customer location.
With DCS, the number of centrex lines which will be allowed to access the network at any given time can be
restricted by virtual facility group (VFG) software. This number will be based on the individual customer's traffic
requirements, and these lines will be designated as unrestricted access lines or trunks. The remainder of the access
lines will be designated as intragroup lines.
RATES
A1
In lieu of rates specified below, rates from Schedule No. A-1, Network Access Line Service, are applicable to
those lines designated as unrestricted outside access lines or centrex trunks as follows:
For five (5) or less unrestricted lines, the B1 rate applies.
For six (6) or more unrestricted lines, the PBX rate applies.
A customer subscribing to five (5) or less centrex lines must have a one-to-one trunking ratio.
A2
The following rates for .5 to 3.0 miles options of intragroup services as set forth are applicable when switching
equipment is located in the utility's host or remote central office. The 0.0 miles option may apply only when the
utility's switching equipment is located at the customer's primary service location, and all wiring beyond the
switching equipment is owned and maintained by the customer. This option may be offered under contract
where remote switching technology can be economically deployed for DCS services.

Lump sum payments
The customer has the option of making a partial lump sum payment (PLSP) at the time of installation or a total
lump sum payment (TLSP) at the time of installation or at any other time during the term of the service period
selected.
For partial payments, the sum payable will be a minimum of $10,000.00 and may be increased in increments
of $10,000.00. The partial payment will reduce the monthly rate per line by the monthly annuity amount per
line of the lump sum payment. The monthly annuity amount is the annual amount divided by 12. The annual
annuity amount is determined by the following formula:
A = P i (1 + i)n
(1 + i)n-1
Where A is the annual annuity amount
P is the lump sum amount
i is the interest rate that is paid on
subscriber deposits
n is the number of payment periods remaining in years
Therefore, the reduced Digital Centrex Service (DCS) monthly rates per
line is determined as follows:
Reduced monthly rate per line = MR-
A/12
# of lines
Where MR is the original DCS monthly rate per line
A is the annual annuity amount

9-1-1 EMERGENCY TELEPHONE SERVICE
I.
GENERAL
A1
9-1-1 is the three-digit telephone number designated throughout the United States as the emergency
telephone number to be used by the public to obtain law enforcement, medical, fire, rescue, and other
emergency services.
9-1-1 Service enables a caller dialing 9-1-1 from a station with access to the local exchange telephone
network, arranged to provide 9-1-1 Service, to be automatically connected to the appropriate Public
Safety Answering Point (PSAP). A PSAP is the communications facility, designated for a specific
territory, to which 9-1-1 calls are routed for response. The Service may be provided from any one of the
following three categories:
B1
B9-1-1 (or Basic 9-1-1) Service automatically routes 9-1-1 calls to a PSAP but provides no
information about the location or telephone number of the caller.
B2
C9-1-1 (or ANI-only 9-1-1) Service automatically routes 9-1-1 calls to a PSAP and provides the
calling telephone number (through automatic number identification or ANI) to the PSAP attendant
who answers the call. C9-1-1 Service is comprised of B9-1-1 Service plus ANI spill.
B3
E9-1-1 (or Enhanced 9-1-1) Service automatically routes 9-1-1 calls to a PSAP and provides the
calling telephone number and address, and may also provide the name of the telephone access
line subscriber and the names of the Emergency Response Agencies with responsibility for the
caller's location. E9-1-1 will provide a PSAP with the location of the billing or lead telephone
number in cases where a nonregulated telecommunication service provider (e.g., Private Branch
Exchange (PBX), Shared Tenant Service (STS), etc.) has failed to provide the customer with its
subscribers' names, addresses, and telephone numbers. E9-1-1 Service is comprised of C9-1-1
Service plus Automatic Location Identification (ALI) provisioning.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
Automatic Location Identification (ALI)
A feature designed to permit information regarding the location of the calling party to be shown on a display device at
a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) when a 9-1-1 call is received.
ALI Database
A database of ALI records containing access line subscribers' names, addresses, telephone numbers, and
Emergency Service Numbers (ESNs) to be used for 9-1-1 purposes. This database, once provided to the customer,
may include additional information about that location. Subscriber names may be omitted as a local option.
Alternate Routing
A feature that will route a 9-1-1 call to a location other than the primary PSAP, should some temporary condition
prevent the primary PSAP from answering the call.
Automatic Number Identification (ANI)
A feature designed to permit the telephone number of the calling party to be displayed on a display screen at a PSAP
when a 9-1-1 call is received.
ANI Spill
A central office generated data stream that forwards the telephone number of the calling party.
Caller
An individual who places a 9-1-1 call in order to obtain emergency assistance.
Customer
Governmental unit or other entity authorized to provide 9-1-1 Service.
Default Routing
A feature activated when an incoming 9-1-1 call cannot be selectively routed due to an ANI failure, garbled digits or
other causes. Such incoming calls are routed from the 9-1-1 control office (location of the selective routing function)
to a preselected PSAP.

DEFINITION OF TERMS (Continued)
Emergency Response Agency (ERA)
For the purpose of this Tariff, an ERA is a functional division of an agency authorized to respond to requests from the
public to meet emergencies related to safety and/or health. The agency is prepared to provide its service(s) in
response to a 9-1-1 call received at, or transferred from, a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).
Emergency Service Number (ESN)
An ESN is assigned by the customer to all subscribers served by each combination of Emergency Response
Agencies (i.e., which police, fire, and ambulance service is responsible for that subscriber's location). Thus, the
service area of each PSAP and Secondary PSAP can be defined in terms of the ESNs for which it is responsible.
The ESN is recorded in the Automatic Location Identification (ALI) database (where established) to inform the PSAP
attendant which ERA is responsible for each 9-1-1 caller's location and in the Selective Routing (SR) records (where
SR is established) to assist in determining call routing to the correct PSAP.
End User
An individual who may place a 9-1-1 call in order to obtain emergency assistance. The end user may or may not be
the subscriber who ordered the service.
Host Provider
The telephone company that serves the exchange in which the customer's PSAP is located, provides 9-1-1 service
and, where applicable, acts as the coordinator of other Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) which serve as secondary
providers within the customer's serving area.
Master Street Address Guide (MSAG)
A perpetual database defining the geographic area of a 9-1-1 service, such as by an alphabetical list of the street
names, high-low house number ranges, community names, PSAP identification codes, and ESNs.
Nonlisted/Unlisted
Subscriber information that is not listed in the published telephone directory but is made available via Directory
Assistance Service.

DEFINITION OF TERMS (Continued)
Nonpublished
Subscriber information that is neither listed in the published telephone directory nor available via Directory Assistance
Service.
Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) - Primary
A primary PSAP is the initial answering point responsible for taking appropriate action on a 9-1-1 call by either
providing the response itself from the Emergency Response Agencies (ERA) dispatched from that center or by
transferring the call to a secondary PSAP for action.
Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) - Secondary
A secondary PSAP responds to 9-1-1 calls transferred from a primary PSAP by dispatching those ERA services
under its authority. It may become the initial respondent to a 9-1-1 call in an alternate routing configuration where the
primary PSAP is unable to answer the call.
Selective Routing (SR)
A service that routes calls to the correct PSAP based on the caller's Automatic Number Identification (ANI). This
service is available when a C9-1-1 or E9-1-1 system is served by more than one PSAP or when a central office is
split by a political boundary and one of the political areas does not subscribe to 9-1-1 services.
Secondary Provider
A Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) that participates in offering 9-1-1 service under an agreement with the host provider.
Subscriber
A person or business that orders access line service from a telephone company, who may or may not be the 9-1-1
end user.

A2
The Telephone Company shall not be required to provide 9-1-1 Service to less than an entire central
office (switching entity), unless Selective Routing (SR) is ordered by the customer. The Telephone
Company does not undertake to answer and forward 9-1-1 Service calls, but furnishes the use of its
facilities to enable the customer's personnel to accept such calls on the customer's designated
premises.
A3
9-1-1 Service is provided solely for the benefit of the local governmental unit; the provision of such
service shall not be interpreted, construed, or regarded as being for the benefit of, or creating any
Telephone Company obligation toward, or any right of action on behalf of any third person or other legal
entity.
A4
Intercept service for any seven-digit emergency number(s) replaced by 9-1-1 Service will be provided at
no charge for a period of time as negotiated between the Telephone Company and the customer;
however, in no case shall intercept service be provided for more than one year or beyond the next
directory issuance, whichever is longer.
A5
9-1-1 Service is limited to the use of central office telephone number 9-1-1 as the emergency telephone
number.
A6
9-1-1 calls originated from local exchange telephone network access facilities shall be completed to the
appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) without a charge being assessed to the end user by
the Telephone Company. Calls from a pay telephone shall not require a coin to be deposited or
payment of any charge.
A7
Calls placed from all stations, including those with nonpublished or unlisted numbers, to a PSAP may
display subscriber information associated with such numbers to emergency 9-1-1 responding
personnel. The subscriber forfeits the privacy afforded by a nonlisted or nonpublished service upon

by satisfactory proof of authorization to provide 9-1-1 Service in the exchanges where service is
requested. If application for service is made by an agent, the Telephone Company must be provided in
writing with satisfactory proof of appointment of the agent by the customer.
A2
The customer is responsible for dispatching the appropriate emergency service within the 9-1-1 service
area, or will undertake to transfer all 9-1-1 Service calls received to the governmental agency with
responsibility for dispatching such services, to the extent that such services are reasonably available.
A3
By contractual agreement, the 9-1-1 Service applicant must submit to the Telephone Company that it
concurs in the following terms and conditions by all participating agencies:
B1
The applicant shall have the sole responsibility for determining which public safety agencies will
participate in (jointly) subscribing to a 9-1-1 Service offering, and for the control and staffing of
the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).
B2
Each primary PSAP should subscribe to sufficient 9-1-1 Service lines to adequately handle
incoming calls in each PSAP's average busy hour so that no more than one call out of 100 (P.01
transmission grade of service) encounters a busy signal. In other words, the 9-1-1 Service
network from each central office to the central office serving the primary PSAP should provide a
minimum of a P.01 transmission grade of service or the minimum number of trunks prescribed by
the applicable regulatory authority, whichever is the higher standard.

CML TECHNOLOGIES SYSTEMS
B1
COMMON EQUIPMENT
The CML System, which consists of the Emergency Communications System (ECS) 1000 and
terminal equipment, may be configured to meet the 911 customer's requirements. The ECS
1000 control processor may be installed on the customer's premises, or in a Telephone
Company central office. Central Office installation of the central processor allows several 911
agencies to share only the ECS 1000 common equipment; therefore, sharing in its cost.
The cost associated with the system is dependent on the number and types of modules required
to configure the system and will vary depending on the size and complexity of the 911 customer's
service requirements. (In the case of a shared system, the common equipment will be
configured to accommodate each agency's requirements.) Therefore, each configuration will be
priced based on actual cost.
Cost sharing will be determined by the relative number of Public Safety Answering Points
(PSAPs) serving each 911 agency. Once the agencies and Windstream have agreed on a fair
and equitable method for sharing costs, Windstream will file the customized ECS 1000 common
equipment arrangement and proposed rates and charges with the Public Utility Commission of
Texas. Commission approval will be required prior to the provisioning of this service to the
customer(s).
When initial configurations are designed, there may be potential system users who cannot
immediately participate. If a potential user commits for future use, the costs can be shared
based on the assumption of the "total use" of the system. In this way, common equipment can
be sized to accommodate additional users over time. The rates and charges will commence as
each user comes "on line" with the system.
If anticipated users want to be added to an existing system, and if the addition can be technically
accommodated, Windstream will review the total cost package and will be prepared to rebate
charges to the initial users if it is determined that "fair and equitable sharing" of the system would
result. Commission approval of changes will be required prior to going into effect.

General
Wireless Service Providers (WSP) and Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) services are
provided to uniquely provision the specific needs of this set of carriers to the Emergency Services
Network.
A2
Definitions
Selective Router Connectivity - provides the physical connectivity for the incoming 9-1-1 trunk circuits
and enables Local Service Providers and Private Switch Providers (e.g., PBX users, Shared Tenant
Services. Wireless Service Providers, and Competitive Local Exchange Carriers) to access the
Emergency Services network. Selective Router Port Connectivity is required for each individual trunk.
Wireless Additive is in addition to the standard Selective Router Port Connectivity rate. The wireless
additive is an additional charge specifically for software/firmware required only by Wireless Service
Providers to provide for multiple 10-digit data streams using a Call Associated Signaling (CAS) solution.
Steerable ALI is required for each CLEC or WSP vendor or their agent for each Windstream-controlled
database platform to which a Non-Call Associated Signaling (NCAS) connection is required. Steerable
ALI is a software product that provides a means of “broadcasting” a request for data across all active
channels to retrieve the proper ANI/ALI information for a given request.
Frame Relay Access Service establishes a Frame Relay connection at the central office as well as
whatever data circuits are needed to gain access to the Frame Relay network provider. Data
connectivity to third party Frame Relay service is additional and must be coordinated by the customer
requesting service. Wireless Service Provider (WSP) and Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC)
services are provided to uniquely provision the specific needs of this set of carrier to the Emergency
Services Network.

Description
Wireless and Competitive Local Exchange Carrier require access to the 9-1-1 Emergency Services
Network to provide their customers with the same degree of security that is provided to customers
served by the incumbent carrier.
To the extent that is possible, components required to provide both Wireless and CLEC services are to
be identical in function. The four components required to provision this service (Selective Router Port
Charge, Wireless Additive, Teerable ALI Software and Frame Relay Access Service) depend on the
type of connectivity established by the Carrier (either CAS or NCAS).
B3
CAS - (Call Associated Signaling) provides the ANI or CPN of either the Wireless Cell Tower
receiving the call in the case of a Wireless subscriber, or the actual subscriber ANI or CPN of the
CLEC subscriber. In Wireless applications, the MDN of the mobile subscriber is sent following
the ANI or CPN of the Wireless Cell Tower.
Upon receipt of the ANI or CPN at the PSAP, a request for ALI data is sent to the affected ALI
database. The ALI is provided via the data path established for Wireline subscribers and
requires no additional facilities to provide the service to the dispatcher. ALI data is stored in the
host provider database.
Customers utilizing CAS require a Selective Router Port Charge per trunk terminated and a
Wireless Additive for each trunk equipped. Facility and trunk charges are applicable in addition
to these components.

ANI or CNP of the CLEC subscriber. In Wireless applications, the MDN of the mobile
subscriber may be sent following the ANI or CPN of the Wireless Cell Tower depending on
the facility arrangement established by the Wireless carrier to the host provider selective
router.
Upon receipt of the ANI or CPN at the PSAP, a request for ALI data is sent to the affected
ALI database. The ALI is provided via a common data path in those instances where the
PSAP is utilizing a Windstream centralized ALI database and requires no addition
facilities. In those arrangements where the PSAP is utilizing a third party or customerowned database, additional facilities are required to provide the connectivity to retrieve the
ALI data.
Customers utilizing NCAS require a Selective Router Port Charge per trunk terminated.
Steerable ALI Software Charges and Frame Relay Access Service Charges are applied
per circuit with a circuit required from each Wireless and/or CLEC provider and/or their
agent to each affected ALI database. Facility and trunk charges are applicable in addition
to these components.
In addition to the above charges, Wireless carriers and CLECs or their agents will require
a means to transmit subscriber records to the host provider database. Windstream offers
products (PSALI and DMARCS/ALI Gateway) to provision this service to those customers
that require this arrangement.

E911 ALTERNATE NETWORK ROUTING
I
GENERAL
Alternate Network Routing (ANR) is offered as an optional service to Emergency Number Service (911)
system customers. ANR provides other paths to route a 911 call from the caller to the Public Safety
Answering Point (PSAP).
In cases of network overload (all trunks busy) or facility outage, such as failure of an intermediate central office
or the loss of a 911 trunk, ANR Service will route the 911 call through the public switched network or cellular
network. (Note: Any 911 calls in progress, at the time of a dedicated facility outage, will be lost when the
facility fails.)
The components offered in this tariff include the terminating telephone network equipment and cellular radios.
Alternate Network Routing may also be utilized to allow the use of the public switched network in place of
interexchange dedicated Telephone Company facilities. This application is restricted to 911 service crossing
LATA boundaries only where LEC facilities are unavailable.
II
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
Alternate Network Routing is actuated upon a failure of the dedicated 911 access path to handle a 911 call.
In order to reroute the 911 call through the public switched telephone network (PSTN), Sender equipment is
installed in the central office on the outgoing side of the 911 trunk and Receiver equipment is installed on the
premises of the PSAP or at an intermediate switching point.
Multiple telephone numbers may be programmed in the Sender in case the primary Receiver is not available.
When a cellular path is used as an alternate route, a cellular transceiver is installed in the central office on the
sending end and a second transceiver unit may be installed at the receiving end (either at the intermediate
switching point or at the PSAP).

E911 ALTERNATE NETWORK ROUTING
II
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE (Cont'd)
Alternate Network Routing Service is offered with two categories of Sender/Receiver terminal equipment:
1)
Without Monitoring - The Sender unit performs the functions of receiving the 911 call from the
originating switch, storing the Automatic Number Identification (ANI), dialing the telephone number of
the Receiver Unit to establish voice connection, and sending the ANI to the Receiver Unit. The
Receiver Unit has an output connection, to either the network or the PSAP's E911 customer premises
equipment, used to provide ANI to the answering attendant. ANI is used to record the call information
and to retrieve the associated Automatic Location Information (ALI).
2)
With Monitoring - Similar functions and terminal equipment as described in (1) above, with the addition
of sensors which monitor the outgoing trunk to detect signaling problems. When a problem is detected,
the Sender Unit seizes control of the 911 call and establishes the alternate route over the public
switched network or the cellular network to complete delivery of the call and associated ANI.
Alternate Network Routing via Cellular Transceivers may be selected with either of the ANR services listed
above to add cellular path connectivity. This service requires a cellular transceiver to be installed at either or
both ends of the cellular path; one at the originating central office connected to a Sender; the other at the
terminating PSAP connected to a Receiver. If the PSAP or originating central office is outside the normal
service area of a cellular radio cell, a directional antenna shall be installed to ensure adequate signal strength
for radio communications.

CYBERDS1 SERVICE
GENERAL
CyberDS1 Service provides network access between a customer's premises, typically an Internet Service Provider's
(ISP) location and the local serving central office on a channelized basis (DSO) over a single high-capacity (DS1)
digital facility that terminates on the trunk side of the switch in the local serving central office. CyberDS1 is available
for data dialed access use.
CyberDS1 is provided in capacity increments of 24 digital channels within a single DS1 (1.544 Mbps) signal.
CyberDS1 provides a trunkside DS1 connection with 24 channels. CyberDS1 does not provide the function of analog
to digital (or vice versa) conversions, and no service types can be specified on the DS1.
CyberDS1 is comprised of a CyberDS1 Capacity component:
(1)
The CyberDS1 Capacity will be at the rates and charges as specified under Rates and Charges of this
Section.
(2)
CyberDS1 customers will have to select capacity in increments of 24 digital channels.
Customers will be offered CyberDS1 on a month-to-month basis only.
DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE
CyberDS1 differs in provisioning method and numbering format from end-to-end services. These services will be
available from the Company on a link (partial channel) basis rather than as an end-to-end service. This architecture
is intended to promote more efficient connectivity of analog and digital networks.
The time required to provision service is known as the service date interval. The service date interval for CyberDS1
and related network services connected to CyberDS1 will differ from the normal guidelines applicable to end-to-end
services.
CyberDS1 will be available on a digital basis at the network interface on a customer's premises. Both the Company
and the customer have joint responsibilities to ensure the proper transmission of the provided services. Normal
analog channel network interface specifications will be superseded by the electrical specifications on the 1.544 Mbps
(DS1) channel which is actually terminated. Each digital channel provided will have an identity only as a "time slot"
within a DS1 Channel. Compatible digital to analog conversion equipment must be provided by the customer to
derive the desired analog services. Any Channel Service Units (CSUs) necessary for digital services are the
responsibility of the customer.

SERVICE PROVIDER NUMBER PORTABILITY (SPNP)
GENERAL
Pursuant to HB 2128, Telephone Number Portability is provisioned on an interim basis in this tariff and provides the
ability of a user of telecommunications services, to the extent technically feasible, to retain an existing telephone
number when changing from one provider of telecommunications service to another provider. Services offered in this
tariff are provided only within the Windstream exchange serving areas as approved by the Public Utility Commission
of Texas.
Service Provider Number Portability (SPNP) is only available to Competitive Local Carriers. Competitive Local
Carriers are defined in this tariff as a holder of a Service Provider Certificate of Operating Authority, a holder of a
Certificate of Operating Authority or a holder of a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity granted by the Public
Utility Commission of Texas.
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
Service Provider Number Portability is a local exchange telecommunications service whereby a call dialed to a
telephone number assigned by the Telephone Company is automatically forwarded to a dialable local telephone
number provided by a Competitive Local Carrier (CLC).
CONDITIONS
SPNP described in this tariff is to be used only as an interim solution for number portability.
The CLC must have a local interconnection agreement with the Telephone Company in order to purchase SPNP from
the Telephone Company. When SPNP is purchased from the Telephone Company, the ownership of the telephone
number is NOT transferred to the CLC. The Telephone Company reserves the reasonable right to assign, designate
or change telephone numbers to accommodate the end-user's request to change the telephone number, to prevent
fraudulent use of the customer's number, or change occasioned by a change in the customer's number, or change
occasioned by a change in the customer's NPA or area code. Should it become necessary to make a change in such
number(s), the Telephone Company will furnish the CLC six (6) months notice of the effective date and an
explanation of the reason(s) for such change(s).

SERVICE PROVIDER NUMBER PORTABILITY (SPNP)
CONDITIONS (Continued)
SPNP will not be provided in conjunction with Coin, Private Pay Telephone, ISDN or any other technically limited
services.
SPNP service may only be ordered at the time the CLC is converting the end-users local service from Company
provided local service to the CLC's local service.
Service interactions with SPNP may limit the functionality of some services and/or features rending them
non-functional to calls sent to the CLC's end-users.
Busy verify and interrupt services will not be provided for telephone numbers with SPNP.
Windstream Calling Cards will not be provided to a CLC end-user line for which SPNP is purchased.
The CLC is required to certify, at the time it submits its end user and/or their agent lists to the Telephone Company,
that it has on file or has instituted steps to obtain confirmations of choice from the end user or their agent. The CLC
is not required to submit the confirmation when submitting end user or their agent lists to the Telephone Company,
but should maintain the confirmations on file for use in dispute resolution. The CLC should request confirmation of
choice from its customers pursuant to PUC Substantive Rule §26.130. An authorization form will be accepted as
valid if it meets the specifications stated in PUC Substantive Rule §26.130.
Should an end user or its agent dispute the authorization for a CLC's submitted change within 90 days of local service
provider change to the CLC and if the CLC cannot produce a confirmation of choice from the agent within 30 days of
a request by the Telephone Company to do so, the previous local service provider will be reestablished as the end
user's local service provider.
Any telecommunications carrier that violates the verification procedures prescribed by the Commission and collects
charges for local telephone exchange service from a subscriber must reimburse the customer's authorized carrier in
an amount equal to all charges paid by such subscriber after such violation. In addition, a charge of $12.83 will be
assessed to the CLC violating said procedures and the end user will be reassigned to the previous local service
provider.

CONDITIONS (Continued)
If the CLC holder produces a confirmation of choice within 30 days of the Telephone Company request, the end user
of its agent will be liable for all charges. The Telephone Company will promptly notify the CLC whenever it receives
an order to disconnect service of its end user customer.
The CLC is responsible for coordinating the provisioning of the SPNP service with the Telephone Company.
The CLC is responsible for all charges for canceling SPNP service for any telephone numbers subscribed to SPNP
services for which it is not presently providing local exchange service.
The CLC is responsible for all charges for the provisioning of SPNP services as set forth in this tariff.
Some applications (i.e., hunt lines) may require the ability to terminate multiple simultaneous calls for a single SPNP
number. In these instances, the SPNP charge is applied for each simultaneous call capability per number forwarded.
For example, a CLC end-user may want the capability to terminate five (5) simultaneous calls to a single SPNP
number; the SPNP charge and four additional paths are required.

CONDITIONS (Continued)
The CLC is responsible for designating to the Telephone Company, at the time of its initial service request for SPNP
services, the appropriate Line Information Data Base (LIDB) indicator for the correct handling of collect, third party,
and other operator handled calls to SPNP assigned telephone numbers. The CLC may request that an indicator be
included in the Telephone Company's database that all such calls be denied, however, the Telephone Company will
not guarantee such denial. The indicator default will be set to deny all collect, third party, and operator handled calls
in instances where the CLC does not designate a preference when service is initially established. In any case, the
CLC's end user is responsible for payment of all collect, third number, and other operator handled charges terminated
on the SPNP telephone number. The Telephone Company will provide the necessary information to allow the CLC to
collect from its end user the appropriate operator charges and forward such collections, less negotiated collections
expense to the Telephone Company.
Each Local Service Provider shall provide for the Automatic Location Identification (ALI) record retrieval of the
directory number, a five character Telephone Company Identification (TCI) of the company that provides service to
the calling line, and any other standards consistent with the National Emergency Number Association (NENA)
standards. Each Local Service Provider is responsible for any 9-1-1 interactions on behalf of its subscribers. The
Telephone Company shall provide and enable all the above consistent with NENA standards. The Telephone
Company with the Local Service Providers will cooperate and coordinate with the 9-1-1 entities to the fullest extent
possible regarding implementation of the above and educating Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) personnel on
the changes to the ALI screen and ALI information. Pursuant to Proposed Interim Order and Order on Remand in
PUC Docket No. 14943, the Telephone Company and the Local Service Providers shall negotiate interconnection
arrangements for the implementation of all the above, the implementation will not be delayed pending such
negotiations.

Pursuant to HB 2128, Direct Inward Dial (DID) Service is provisioned on an interim basis in this tariff and provides the
ability of a user of telecommunications services, to the extent technically feasible, to retain an existing telephone
number when changing from one provider of telecommunications service to another provider. Services offered in this
tariff are provided only within the Windstream exchange serving areas as approved by the Public Utility Commission

The service must be provided on all lines in a trunk or network access line group arranged for inward service.
Routing of calls to selected numbers within the direct inward dialing number group over a separate trunk or network
access line group is not contemplated. The Competitive Local Carriers must provide full period dedicated facilities to
the point of virtual co-location for each circuit (trunk) connected.
The operational characteristics of the interface signals between the Telephone Company provided connecting
arrangements and the Competitive Local Carrier's switching equipment must conform to the rules and regulations the
Telephone Company considers necessary to maintain proper standards of service.
The Telephone Company shall not be responsible to the customer if changes in protection criteria or changes in any
of its facilities, operations or procedures render any facilities provided by the customer obsolete.
The Competitive Local Carrier's equipment or the equipment of the end user must be arranged to provide for the
intercepting of calls to unused numbers.
