Description Of Change
Qwest is currently sending rated DUF files when calls cross state borders. DUF files for any call that crosses a state border should not be sent as a rated record. Qwest uses this current process for informational purposes only. AT&T requests that Qwest send the records as unrated, sending to CLECs a 10-01-19 record

Expected Deliverable - Qwest to send all DUF files for calls crossing state borders as unrated calls no later than January 2004.

10/7/04 E-mail from AT&T

Hi Lynn, AT&T will not close this CR as there remain issues. We are still seeing rated DUF files pertaining to cross border scenarios. This should not be occurring. I have asked Lydell to have the SME that implemented this CR on our center to center call scheduled for Monday morning of next week. I hope we have permanent resolution and closure by the October meeting. We will see.

Thank you for your patience while awaiting response from my team members.

Attendees: Brenda Tibbets - AT&T, Carla Pardee - AT&T, Cyndy Bray - AT&T, Don Kerschner - Qwest, Carrie Stirman - Qwest, Mark Heline - Qwest, Alan Zimmerman - Qwest, Kerri Waldner - Qwest, Peggy Esquibel - Reed - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

Review Description of Change AT&T is requesting that Qwest send all DUF files for calls crossing state borders as unrated calls no later than January 2004.

Discussion Alan Zimmerman/Qwest asked if this is only for the 10-01-19 record or any toll calls (etc) that cross stated boundaries. Cindy Bray/AT&T stated that this would apply to any unrated call that comes across the DUF and said that Qwest uses this process for informational purposes only. Alan Zimmerman/Qwest stated that you would expect to see a rated call alternately billed. Alan Zimmerman/Qwest asked if Independent Company unrated was included in this request. Cindy Bray/AT&T said no only 'incollect". Alan Zimmerman/Qwest asked what the business benefit to AT&T would be. Cindy Bray/AT&T stated that this will eliminate confusion with 'incollects'. Brenda Tibbets/AT&T stated that the state boundary should change the record. Alan Zimmerman/Qwest asked if this was happening in all regions. Cindy Bray/AT&T said she thought this was happening in the Central and Eastern Regions.

Dear Ms. Pardee:

This letter is in response to your March 22, 2004 escalation # SCR102703-01-E23 (Unrated DUF Files Across State Boundaries). In this escalation AT&T is requesting an implementation date of no later than June of 2004.

Qwest understands that AT&T has a desire for unrated DUF files in this change request and had been working to get funding for this work approved. Qwest has now approved the work associated with SCR102703-01 to be completed. Qwest is working to determine potential implementation timeframes and cannot commit to a June implementation at this time.

Qwest will commit to an implementation date as soon as the final solution can be determined and the necessary resources mobilized. Qwest will communicate the implementation dates as soon as they are finalized.

Sincerely, Connie Winston Director – Qwest Information Technologies
