June 5, 2001 Update

NETWORK NOTIFICATION OF NEW SERVICE OR REVISION:

SureWest Telephone will be retiring the RSVLCAXF03T (03T) Tandem 5ESS Switch during the third quarter of 2001. The point code for this switch is 001-024-001. The tandem functionality currently handled by the 03T will be transferred to our RSVLCAXF78G (78G), which will become a class 4/5 switch. The tandem portion of this equipment is designated RSVLCAXF04T (04T).

REASON:
This consolidation is designed to increase efficiency and reduce costs.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

• Beginning in November 2000 RTC began moving trunk groups out of the 03T in preparation for the retirement.
   
• Carriers may choose to continue to have Roseville tandem their traffic by requesting connection to the 04T or choose to connect directly to the 78G and CTHTCAXF72G (72G) end offices.
   
• RTC expects to complete the migration and retire the 03T during the third quarter of 2001.
