3604 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 175

Note:
Junction surcharges will apply where access is required between exchanges within a local calling area at the New Zealand end.

Other Charges

Alterations and all other charges will be based on time and materials associated with the work involved.

5.5 Loop Signalling Service (L1)

Loop signalling circuits are designed for use as fire alarms, and as alarm circuits for security companies.
An alternative Alarm Transport Service (ATS) is planned as a replacement of the Loop Signalling Service. Intending customers should contact their local Telecom office.

5.5.1 Installation Charge

• Charge for new connection or installation of circuit $145.00

5.5.2 Monthly Access Charges

• Charge per end of circuit from 1 August 1992 $22.00
• Charge per end of circuit from 1 November 1992 $40.00
• 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.

5.5.5 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 any L1 circuits after disconnection $45.00

5.6 Programme Circuits (P1, P2, P3, P3S)

Programme Circuits are used for broadcasting programmes which have a music content. This section covers the charges for all Programme Circuits.

• P2 is a 10 kHz Programme Circuit
• P3 is a 15 kHz Programme Circuit
• P3S is a 15 kHz stereo Programme Circuit

Programme circuits can be either unidirectional or bidirectional; unidirectional circuits allow transmission of data only (one-way); bidirectional circuits allow transmission and reception of data (two-way). Unidirectional and bidirectional circuits are also known as “half duplex” and “full duplex” or simplex and duplex respectively.

Apart from circuits within an urban area (as described in note to Section 5.6.3), the following tariffs for Programme Circuits only apply on the routes listed below:

• Auckland — Whangarei
• Auckland—Hamilton
• Christchurch—Timaru
