.41         Option MM (networkMCI One)

 

               Option MM (networkMCI One) is an outbound, customized telecommunications service which may include an inbound service option using Business Line or Dedicated Access Line termination.  It provides a unified service for single or multi‑location companies using switched, dedicated, and card origination, and switched and dedicated termination.  Option MM is suitable for interstate calls between company locations, as well as all interstate calls to the entire United States and to those international locations listed in Table V, Part E. 

 

               Except as otherwise specified, all domestic Option MM calls are subject to an 18-second minimum initial period and are rounded to the next higher 6‑second increment, except for Operator Assisted calls, which are subject to a 60-second initial period and additional 60-second increments. 

 

               Except as otherwise specified, all outbound international Option MM calls are subject to a 30-second minimum initial period and additional 6‑second increments, except that all outbound calls to Mexico, all international Operator Assisted calls, and calls to Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Ocean Inmarsat Standard A Service locations are subject to a 60-second minimum initial period with additional 60‑second increments.  All toll free inbound international calls are subject to a 30-second minimum initial period and additional 6-second increments. 

 

               If the computed charge includes a fraction of a cent, the fraction is rounded to the nearest whole cent. 

 

               Subscribers to networkMCI One receive the networkMCI One Service Package which includes the availability of Dedicated, Switched, and Card Access and Dedicated and Switched Access Line Termination, networkMCI One Toll Free, Directory Assistance, Accounting Codes, Universal Range Privileges, Custom Calling Range Privileges, Call Detail, and either a consolidated invoice or location level invoices for all networkMCI One calls from all locations.

 

               networkMCI One is available either on a month-to-month basis or for a multi-year term of service commitment.  All customers are subject to a charge of $25 for each monthly billing period in which usage does not exceed $500.  A customer which commits to a multi-year term of service under a networkMCI One Term Plan will be subject to this $25 charge, plus an additional charge equal to the difference between the actual Qualifying Volume of usage during the year and the annual volume commitment made by the customer.  Qualifying Volume is defined in Section C-3.41421 of this tariff.  If service is terminated by the customer before the end of the multi-year term of service, the customer will be subject to the provisions set forth in Section C-3.41425.

 

               The rules and regulations governing the provision of service for toll free service are identical to those for Metered Use Service Option F (MCI 800 Service) except where otherwise specified.

 

               In addition to other service-related charges under this option, FUSF, CAC, Administrative Expense Fee and CCRC apply.

                              .4131     networkMCI One Switched Data: 

 

networkMCI One Switched Data offers dial‑up service for transmitting data at speeds of 56 kbps and 64 kbps and at speeds in multiples of 64 kbps.

 

Domestic:  networkMCI One Switched Data offers dial‑up service for transmitting data at speeds of 56 kbps and 64 kbps and at speeds in multiples of 64 kbps up to 1536 kbps between locations within the U.S. Mainland and Hawaii.  networkMCI One Switched Data offers H0 and H11 services, which are dial‑up services for transmitting data at speeds of 384 kbps and 1536 kbps (equivalent to 6 x 64 kbps and 24 x 64 kbps, respectively).  Usage charges for networkMCI One Switched Data calls at 56 and 64 kbps are set forth in Section C-3.413111. 

 

Inbound:  networkMCI One Toll Free Digital Service (inbound) offers dial‑up service for transmitting data at speeds of 56 kbps and 64 kbps and at speeds in multiples of 64 kbps, between locations within the U.S. Mainland, Alaska, Hawaii, and from Canada to the U.S. Mainland, Alaska, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  Dedicated Access termination is available only for calls which terminate in the U.S. Mainland.

 

International:  networkMCI One Switched Data offers international dial-up service for transmitting data at speeds of 64 kbps, 384 kbps or 1536 kbps from the U.S. Mainland to designated international locations.

 

networkMCI One Switched Data calls may not originate or terminate via dedicated access in Hawaii.  Only 56 kbps service may terminate in Alaska.  Calls in Alaska may terminate via switched access only. 

 

Customers will not receive the Dedicated Termination discount specified in Section C-3.4141 on  networkMCI One Switched Data charges.

 

Domestic networkMCI One Switched Data 56 and 64 kbps service may be accessed using either: T‑1 Digital Access Primary Rate Interface (PRI) (specified in Section C‑2.022181); PRI provided by a Local Exchange Carrier (LEC); LEC-provided Basic Rate Interface (BRI) access; Digital Data Service (DDS) local loops (specified in Section C‑2.0231); or, LEC‑provided Switched Digital Access (SDA).  SDA access to networkMCI One Switched Data is available in the locations set forth in Section C‑12, Table V, Part J. 

 

networkMCI One Switched Digital Service at multiples of 64 kbps may be accessed through MCI Primary Rate Interface (PRI) access lines (see Section C‑2.022181), or LEC‑provided PRI.  The customer is responsible for obtaining the LEC‑provided PRI access line which connects the customer's premises to the LEC's central office.  The customer is billed directly by the LEC for this access type.  Switched services at multiples of 64kbps require that T‑1 local access lines be equipped with B8ZS line coding from the LEC.

 

                                             .41311   Outbound Usage Charges             

 

.413111               Switched Data 56 and 64 kbps Usage Charges:  The following per-minute usage charges apply for outbound switched 56 and 64 kbps service between locations within the U.S. Mainland or Hawaii, based on access and termination type.

                                                                                                           Switched-Dedicated                               0.1986

                                                                                                         Dedicated-Dedicated                               0.1335

 

.413112               Switched Data Usage Charges at Speeds of 128 Kbps and Higher Usage Charges:  For outbound calls at speeds in multiples of 64 kbps between locations within the U.S Mainland or Hawaii, the following per-minute usage charges apply for each increment of 64 kbps bandwidth used per call, based on access and termination type and the number of increments of 64 kbps bandwidth used per-call:

 

                                                                                                         Call Type              Rate

 

                                                                                                         Switched-Switched                                 $0.2402

                                                                                                         Dedicated-Switched\

                                                                                                           Switched-Dedicated                               0.1752

                                                                                                         Dedicated-Dedicated                               0.1099

 

For example, a 384 kbps call requires six increments of 64 kbps bandwidth: a 384 kbps call which originates and terminates via dedicated access yields a per-minute usage charge calculated as follows:  6 x $0.1099 = $0.6594.

.4132     networkMCI Videoconferencing:  networkMCI Videoconferencing permits a networkMCI Videoconferencing subscriber to conduct a point‑to‑point or multipoint videoconference using Switched 56 kbps or 64 kbps service and port connections furnished by the Company.  Point-to-point service is available via Switched 56 kbps service and multipoint service is available via Switched 56 kbps and 64 kbps service.  networkMCI Videoconferencing is subject to port connection charges and usage charges which will be charged based on the networkMCI Videoconferencing subscriber's existing Option MM service. Dial-Out service transport is provided on a two-switched 56 kbps or 64 kbps-channel basis per call connection.  Port connections must be scheduled and reserved in advance of the videoconference and are available on a first‑come, first-serve basis.  Port connections must be reserved in 15-minute increments with a 30-minute minimum reservation.  A port connection cancellation charge will apply if a scheduled videoconference is canceled by the networkMCI Videoconferencing subscriber within 8 hours of the scheduled conference time.  Participants in the international locations set forth in Section C-3.413232 may connect to a Dial-Out networkMCI Videoconferencing call.  Unless otherwise specified, the term "networkMCI Videoconferencing" is used interchangeably with "MCI VideoNet" throughout this tariff.

 

                                             .41321   Methods of Videoconferencing:

              

Meet‑Me allows networkMCI Videoconferencing subscriber participants to call directly into a networkMCI Videoconferencing subscriber site.

 

Meet‑Me Gateway allows a networkMCI Videoconferencing subscriber to connect non‑subscriber participants to a point‑to‑point videoconferencing at the networkMCI Videoconferencing subscriber's site.

 

Dial‑Out videoconference calls are established by an MCI Conference Coordinator. To receive this type of videoconference, the networkMCI Videoconferencing subscriber must arrange for participant networkMCI Videoconferencing subscribers and non-subscribers to be called by the MCI Conference Coordinator at the pre‑arranged date and time.  The MCI Conference Coordinator will connect the participants to the networkMCI Videoconferencing subscriber's site.

 

                                             .41322   Service Options:  When making each videoconference call reservation, the networkMCI Videoconferencing subscriber must designate a Service Option to provide the type of MCI Conference Coordinator assistance to be provided in conjunction with each videoconference call.  networkMCI Videoconferencing offers the following Service Options:

 

                                                                           Unattended service allows videoconference participants to call directly into a networkMCI Videoconferencing subscriber's videoconference site by dialing in via a designated toll free number or direct distance dialing number.  The MCI Conference Coordinator does not provide assistance.  This Service Option is available for Meet‑Me only.

 

                                                                           Standard service provides for the MCI Conference Coordinator to connect all participants in the videoconference call and to assist in the videoconference call set‑up.  When all participants are connected to the call, the MCI Conference Coordinator will disconnect from the call.  The networkMCI Videoconferencing subscriber must re‑dial the MCI Conference Coordinator if assistance is required.

 

                                                                           Premier service allows for the same features as Standard service.  In addition, the MCI Conference Coordinator will remain connected throughout the videoconference call until the call is terminated.

 

                                             .41323   Usage Charges:  All usage charges for each videoconference will be billed to the networkMCI Videoconferencing subscriber who makes each videoconference reservation unless usage charges are allocated to individual participants by the networkMCI Videoconferencing subscriber when each videoconference reservation is made.  All Meet-Me Transport Charges will be billed to the networkMCI Videoconferencing subscriber.  All individual participants to whom usage charges are allocated must register and accept the allocation of charges prior to the scheduled videoconference.  Usage and ports will be billed in 1‑minute increments with an initial 30-minute minimum billing charge.
