  1. Switched Transport and Transmission Customer Billing Education Package

  2. BellSouth Mileage Authority • For any distance measurement from/to a BellSouth Central Office, use the V&H coordinates and mileage calculation formula filed in NECA 4. NECA is updated monthly. Ensure that you are using the most current copy. • For any distance measurement from/to an End User, POP, CLEC Switch, etc. (i.e. any non-BST CO), use a tool like Telcordia® Technologies’ LocateIt product that converts an address to the appropriate V&H before calculating mileage. • Never use an off-the-shelf mileage PC program to calculate mileage. This information is not updated monthly like the Telcordia® product. Telcordia® is a trademark of Telcordia Technologies

  13. Host/Remote Offices in different LATAs • A host office and it’s remote office can reside in different LATAs. See slide 8 for information regarding determining tandem/host and host/remote arrangements. • The stipulation for this arrangement is: BellSouth must terminate or originate the traffic in the same LATA the Interexchange Carrier delivered it to us.

  15. Host/Remote Mileage Calculations • Common Transport mileage is measured as the sum of the mileage from the Tandem to the Host and the mileage the Host to the Remote, rather than from the Tandem directly to the Remote. • The common transport mileage in the previous example would be 25 + 15 = 40, not 20.
