Option I is a one‑way, multipoint service requiring the customer to originate calls via dedicated facilities between the customer's premises and the Companys terminal location and allowing the termination of calls via a combination of Company‑provided intercity facilities and local business telephone lines. Prism II has five distance-sensitive pricing Ranges from each originating area code, with total coverage on every line. These Ranges, as determined for each originating and terminating area code are shown in Section C-12, Table V, Part F.

If the computed charge includes a fraction of a cent, the fraction is rounded to the nearest whole cent.
In addition to other service-related charges under this option, FUSF, CAC, Administrative Expense Fee and CCRC apply.
