B2.4.9 Optional Payment Plan (Cont'd)
A. Channel Services Payment Plan (Coed)
12. Exception to Termination Liability for State, County, and Municipal Governments (Cont'd)
a. In the event that all or any part of the service is disconnected at customer request prior to expiration of any selected
payment period of greater than one month's duration, the customer will be required to pay a termination charge as
stated in the service tariffs. The tariff provisions concerning termination liability for recurring charges only shall
be inapplicable to any state, county or municipal governmental entity when there is in effect, as a result of action
by such entity and through a duly constituted legislative, administrative or executive body:
(1) a statute;
(2) an ordinance;
(3) a policy directive; or
(4) a constitutional provision
which restricts or prohibits an additional contractual payment for early termination of a contract by any such entity,
or agency thereof, due to an unavailability of finding. When service is being provided and funding to the
governmental entity for such service becomes unavailable, the governmental entity may cancel the service without
additional payment obligation. Provided, however, that if the governmental entity cancels the service for any
reason other than the unavailability of funds, the termination liability provisions in the Tariff shall apply.
13. Pursuant to the Florida Public Service Commission Order No. PSC-95-1188-FOF-TP in Docket No. 92-1074-TP,
issued September 21, 1995, upon the effective date of Expanded Interconnection Service (EIS), in Section E20 of the
intrastate Access Services Tariff, customers with the company's private line services, with terms equal to, or greater
than, three years, entered into on, or before February 1, 1994, shall be permitted to switch those services to competitive
alternatives during the 90-day period after EIS arrangements are available in a Company central office.
If a customer chooses to switch to a competitior, termination charges to the Company's contract for service shall be
limited to the additional charges that the customer would have paid for the contract covering the term actually used,
plus the prime rate of interest.
B2.4.10 Special Billing Arrangement (SBA)
A. General
1. The Special Billing Arrangement is optional for any governmental agency subscribing to private line channels used for
such purposes as computerized traffic light control systems and police communications systems if the monthly tariff
charges for the channels exceed $1,000.00. This arrangement allows a substantial portion of the private line monthly
recurring tariff charges to be converted to and paid for by a lump sum payment. The remaining private line tariff
charges would be paid on a recurring basis.
