30 OCTOBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 4085

Reconnection Charge

• Charge for reconnection of any programme circuits after disconnection ... $45.00

4.7 TELEGRAPH CIRCUITS (T1, T2, T3)

Telegraph Circuits are a point-to-point service.

• A T1 circuit is a telegraph-type 50 Baud circuit
• A T2 circuit is a telegraph-type 75 Baud circuit
• A T3 circuit is a telegraph-type 100 Baud circuit

Installation Charges

• Charge per end for new connection or installation of T-type Circuits ... $145.00

4.7.1 Monthly Access Charges

• Charge per end of circuit for T-type Circuits ... $17.50
• Junction surcharge per kilometre ... $8.50

Note:
The junction surcharge applies where access is required between exchanges within a local-calling area.

• Distance surcharge per kilometre ... $8.50

Note:
The distance surcharge applies wherever the circuit terminates more than 5 km from the exchange.

4.7.2 Monthly Transmission Charges (based on kilometre charge)

Telegraph Circuits: Monthly Transmission Charges

Note:
There are no transmission charging distances which are less than 20 km.

4.7.3 Alteration and Reconfiguration Charges

• External removal charge per end of T-type circuits ... $145.00
• Internal removal charge per end for T-type circuits ... $60.00

4.7.4 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 twice the weekly temporary-lease charge (i.e., 60% of the monthly charge).

Reconnection Charge

• Charge for reconnection of any T-type circuits after disconnection ... $45.00

4.8 DIGITAL LEASED-CIRCUIT SERVICES

Telecom offers 3 types of digital leased-circuit services:

• The basic digital-circuit leased service is the Digital Data Service, available at 2.4 kbit/s, 4.8 kbit/s, 9.6 kbit/s and 48 kbit/s. (This is also available with analogue access at all speeds except 48 kbit/s.)
• The Wideband Digital Data Service is a managed service with bandwidth available in multiples of 64 kbit/s circuits.
• A 2 Mbit/s service, which is an unmanaged service and is known as Megalink.

Digital leased circuits are provided over the Digital Services Transmission Network. The various charges for each type of digital leased-circuit are given in sections 4.8, 4.10 and 4.11.

4.9 DIGITAL DATA SERVICE (DDS)

The Digital Data Service (DDS) is a digital transmission service provided on the DSTN and is available for point-to-point or multipoint service.

Digital Data Service is available at speeds of 2.4 kbit/s, 4.8 kbit/s, 9.6 kbit/s and 48 kbit/s digital, and at speeds of 2.4 kbit/s, 4.8 kbit/s and 9.6 kbit/s analogue. The analogue access service is provided to allow connection to the Digital Data Service, beyond the normal range of the digital network.

Access charges for analogue access incur a surcharge to cover the additional costs. Analogue circuits are also subject to the A2 rates for access, and for any junction and/or transmission circuits involved.

All Digital Data Service circuits terminate at either end on a Network Terminating Unit (NTU), which is provided by Telecom as an interface to the customer’s Data Terminal Equipment (DTE).

As the Digital Data Service is a managed service, all circuits (including those where both ends terminate on the same exchange) incur a transmission charge to cover the costs of the link to the management centre.
