| Description Of Change |
|
Currently Qwest does not provide 2 way blocking restriction capabilities. AT&T requests that Qwest provide this functionality at the TN level. This essentially means, that when a customer is in delinquency, Qwest would be able to block both in bound and out bound calls, with the exception of 911 calls.

| 8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this change request is being denied. She noted that a similar request was submitted on February 27, 2003 and that CR was also denied. This request would require a restructure of our billing environment and is therefore economically infeasible. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she understood why the CR was being denied. 8/6/03 Clarification Meeting Introduction of Attendees Carla Pardee - AT&T, Dave Green - AT&T, Qiana Davis - Qwest, John Gallegos - Qwest, Nicole James - Qwest, Barb Carlson - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest Reviewed Description of Change Currently Qwest does not provide 2 way blocking restriction capabilities. AT&T requests that Qwest provide this functionality at the TN level. This essentially means, that when a customer is in delinquency, Qwest would be able to block both in bound and out bound calls, with the exception of 911 calls. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that an AT&T request was submitted on February 27, 2003 (SCR022703-22 Line Level restrict for Non-Payment) and said that this CR may be a duplicate. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if this CR could be combined with SCR022703-22. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest stated that SCR022703-22 was denied on March 14, 2003 due to economic feasibility. John Gallegos/Qwest confirmed that AT&T was requesting two way blocking but wanted to allow 911. AT&T said yes. John also asked if AT&T was looking for this change at a TN level and if a multi-line account was involved, the TN level restriction would be applicable to each line. In addition, 1 line would have full capability. AT&T said yes. Dave Green/AT&T said that AT&T internally submits at the account level and asked if there is any difference in their TN versus out TN or if they requested 2 way blocking restriction at the BTN level would it be the same as our BTN. John said that he would have to assume yes. Dave stated that Qwest provides 2 way blocking restriction at the account level and AT&T would like the restriction at the TN level. John said that AT&T send the request by the TN (or what AT&T identifies as the BTN) Confirm Areas & Products Impacted John Gallegos/Qwest confirmed that the interface impacted is IMA Common and the Product is UNE-P. Dave Green/AT&T asked what other products would be looked at. John stated for example resale POTS. Identify/Confirm CLECs Expectation AT&T stated that Qwest provides 2 way blocking restriction at the account level and AT&T would like the restriction at the TN level. Identify Any Dependent Requests SCR022703-22 Line Level restrict for Non-Payment Establish Action Plan AT&T will present this request in the August 21, 2003 CMP Systems Meeting.

CenturyLink Response |
| August 13, 2003 Carla Pardee AT&T CC: Lynn Notarianni Connie Winston Sue Stott Beth Foster Kit Thomte This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR072303-01, dated 07/23/2003, titled: Request for 2 way blocking restriction. CLEC CR Description as written by AT&T: Currently Qwest does not provide 2 way blocking restriction capabilities. AT&T requests that Qwest provide this functionality at the TN level. This essentially means, that when a customer is in delinquency, Qwest would be able to block both in bound and out bound calls, with the exception of 911 calls. History: A clarification meeting was held on Friday August 8, 2003 with AT&T and Qwest representation. At this meeting Qwest confirmed with AT&T that this CR was requesting similar functionality as SCR022703-22, Line Level restrict for Non-Payment, which AT&T submitted in February of 2003. Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR072303-01, Request for 2 way blocking restriction, and has determined that this change is economically not feasible. As discussed in the clarification call, in February of 2003, AT&T submitted SCR022703-22-Line Level restrict for Non Payment, requesting similar functionality, which Qwest ultimately denied due to economic infeasibility. However, the new CR submitted in July is requesting even more functionality than the original CR submitted in February 2003. The new change request would require Qwest to restructure the manner in which accounts are currently processed through the billing system. Through Qwest’s analysis it was determined that the estimate for the initial implementation of this change would be at least $1 million. Qwest believes that to implement a restriction at the line level for non-payment would be cost prohibitive. Qwest is denying your request for SCR072303-01, Request for 2 way blocking restriction due to economic infeasibility. Sincerely, Qwest
