When a Vision call is established in one rate period and ends in the other, the rate in effect in each rate period applies to the portion of the call occurring during that rate period. The rate for inbound calls is the rate for the time of day at the terminating location. Usage charges for MCI Vision Power Rate Programs are not eligible to receive this discount.
.1832 Dedicated Termination Discount - All Vision Switched, Dedicated, and Card Access outbound traffic (excluding traffic to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands and calls to Mexico and Canada using dedicated termination) which is transmitted between customer designated locations of a Corporate Enterprise and which is terminated by means of dedicated termination facilities will receive a discount of $0.02 per minute. This discount will be applied before any other discounts.
1 In states that have an identical discount plan for non-Business Day rates and/or volume discounts, the interstate discount is determined by applying the effective discount rate only to interstate usage billing subject to discount. In states without an identical discount plan for non-Business Day rates and/or volume discounts, the interstate discount is determined by applying the effective discount rate to both interstate and intrastate usage billing subject to discount. Customers who subscribe to service through a Qualified Industry Affinity Group or a Commercial Affinity Program Plus (CAP Plus) will receive an additional 5 percent discount on all domestic and international usage. Customers who subscribe to service through a Standard Affinity Member Group or a Regional Affinity Member Group will receive an additional 5 percent discount on all domestic and international usage.
.1833 Volume Discounts1 - Volume Discounts, as set forth below, are available to those Vision customers whose total monthly combined domestic and international usage (including facsimile usage and Metered Use Service Option LL (Company Contact one-number service) usage), inbound 800 usage (including MCI Vision 800 Dynamic Routing and MCI Vision 800 AnswerNet), and outbound usage2 and surcharges (not including the service fee or optional feature charges) equals or exceeds $1,000.00 per invoice. The discounts shown apply on an effective basis. Usage billed to the customer's end users under MCI Vision Directed Billing (as described in Section C-3.1885) and operator assisted usage charges and surcharges (as described in Section C-3.18215) will be counted towards the monthly usage threshold, but the volume discounts will not be applied to this usage. Once the customer reaches the usage threshold, the discount is applied to all eligible usage.
If the domestic portion of the discount (amount calculated based on interstate and intrastate usage) is greater than the interstate usage, the difference will not be credited or brought forward.3
