30 OCTOBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 4081

Note:
Telecom may at its discretion waive part of the installation charge. Instead, the charge will be based on the actual costs involved in providing the service.

4.3.2 Extended Area Installation Charges

In cases where electronic enhancement of the copper cable is required to provide a satisfactory service to the customer (typically for distances of over 10 km), a capital contribution will be charged. The capital contribution will be negotiated between Telecom’s Regional Operating Companies and the customer.

4.3.3 Monthly Access Charges

All circuits pay access charges. Circuits completely within a local-calling area are charged a combination of access and junction charges only. Junction circuits are the equivalent of either 4-wire or 6-wire circuits.

• Charge per end of circuit for 2-wire circuit $31.82
• Charge per end of circuit for 4-wire circuit $63.64
• Charge per end of circuit for 6-wire circuit $95.46
• Junction surcharge per kilometre (4-wire equivalent) $8.50
• Junction surcharge per kilometre (6-wire equivalent) $17.00

Note:
The junction surcharge applies where access is between two exchanges within a local-calling area. It is applicable to each kilometre on all junction circuits. There are no junction charges where a customer’s circuit is connected directly to a local-calling area’s toll centre or to the nearest Tariff Zone Centre.

4.3.4 Monthly Transmission Charges

Where circuits cross local-calling area or tariff zone boundaries, transmission charges are applicable. These charges range from Step A to Step E (see the table in section 4.1.3 for the charging steps between tariff zones, and section 4.2.1 for a general explanation of transmission charges and charging steps for these sorts of circuits).

V1 Circuit: Monthly Transmission Charges

Notes:

• Prices for 4-wire and 6-wire circuits will be a maximum of, respectively, twice and three times the 2-wire charges.
• Where junction circuits are provided in conjunction with transmission links, the first 10 km of junction charges are waived.

4.3.5 Alteration and Reconfiguration Charges

• External removal charge per end for voice circuits $145.00
• External removal charge per end for Foreign Exchange Service (FES) circuits $210.00
• External removal charge per end for intercept circuits $210.00
• Internal removal charge per end for voice circuits $60.00
• Internal removal charge per end for Foreign Exchange Service (FES) circuits actual costs
• Internal removal charge per end for intercept circuits actual costs
• Jumpering charge, per site, for redirecting existing circuits within the exchange, at the customers request $45.00
• Charge per circuit/per site for exchange work at the customers request (This charge covers patching charges and other exchange work that may be undertaken for a customer.) $45.00

Note:
The above prices are for 2-wire circuits. The prices for 4-wire and 6-wire circuits will be a maximum of respectively, twice and three times the 2-wire charges.

4.3.6 Other Charges

Temporary Lease

The minimum lease period for circuits and associated equipment is 6 months, if customers wish to receive Telecom’s normal monthly charges. For temporary leasing periods of less than 6 months, customers are charged a weekly rate, which is 34% of the appropriate monthly charge. There is a minimum charge that applies to temporary leases of any duration. This minimum charge is twice the weekly temporary-lease charge (i.e., 68% of the monthly charge).

Reconnection Charge

• Charge for reconnection of a circuit after disconnection for non-payment $45.00

Signalling Converter Charges

These charges cover the lease of a signalling converter, which is required for voice circuits used as tie-lines between PABXs.

• Monthly charge for converters on tie-lines with access to extensions via operator $10.50
• Monthly charge for converters on tie-lines with direct dialling in one direction without access to the operator $10.50
• Monthly charge for converters on tie-lines with direct dialling in one direction with access to the operator $21.00
• Monthly charge for converters on tie-lines with direct dialling in two directions $42.50

4.4 ANALOGUE DATA SERVICE (A1, A2, A3)

Analogue Data Service is a voice-frequency service suitable for data transmission. There are 3 different types of Analogue Data Service available.
