5 INTERNATIONAL LEASED-CIRCUIT SERVICES

5.1 Tastream

Alteration and Reconfiguration Charges

All upgrade, alteration and reconfiguration charges, such as data rate changes, will be charged actual costs (including labour, materials, overhead and travelling time). If a customer wishes to upgrade the data rate of Tastream, or wishes to transfer from Telecom Skystream service to Tastream at the same or higher rate the upgrade and transfer fees will be waived where the customer enters into a one year or longer-term contract.

5.2 Antarctic SKYSTREAM Service (Digital Data Circuits by Satellite)

The Antarctic SKYSTREAM Service is a digital satellite service available from Scott Base to New Zealand and other Pacific destinations and is provided under Telecom's standard provisioning arrangements of the "Telecom Contract for Telecom Antarctic SKYSTREAM Service."

Telecom's Antarctic SKYSTREAM Service provides a half-circuit designed for full duplex operation.

Note:
With respect to Antarctic SKYSTREAM Service only, a half-circuit means a leased circuit which is established between the customer's service delivery point or points at Scott Base and a point of electrical interface with transmission facilities under the jurisdiction of an overseas telecommunications organisation or a point of electrical interface with Telecom's standard SKYSTREAM Service.

For an end-to-end service between Ross Island and New Zealand, the Standard Telecom Skystream Service charges are added to these prices.

For circuits from Ross Island to the rest of the world, these charges only cover the Antarctic portion of the circuit and do not include any charges payable to overseas Telecommunications Administrations for those portions of the circuit under their jurisdiction.
