Sec. 4.7 Definitions of metrics used to determine the general outage-reporting
threshold criteria.
(a) Administrative numbers are defined as the telephone numbers used by
communications providers to perform internal administrative or operational
functions necessary to maintain reasonable quality of service standards.
(b) Assigned numbers are defined as the telephone numbers working in the
Public Switched Telephone Network under an agreement such as a contract or
tariff at the request of specific end users or customers for their use. This
excludes numbers that are not yet working but have a service order pending.
(c) Assigned telephone number minutes are defined as the mathematical result
of multiplying the duration of an outage, expressed in minutes, by the sum
of the number of assigned numbers (defined in paragraph (b) of this section)
potentially affected by the outage and the number of administrative numbers
(defined in paragraph (a) of this section) potentially affected by the
outage. “Assigned telephone number minutes” can alternatively be calculated
as the mathematical result of multiplying the duration of an outage,
expressed in minutes, by the number of working telephone numbers potentially
affected by the outage, where working telephone numbers are defined as the
telephone numbers, including DID numbers, working immediately prior to the
outage.
(d) DS3 minutes are defined as the mathematical result of multiplying the
duration of an outage, expressed in minutes, by the number of previously
operating DS3 circuits that were affected by the outage.
(e) User minutes are defined as:
(1) Assigned telephone number minutes (as defined in paragraph (c) of this
section), for telephony and for those paging networks in which each
individual user is assigned a telephone number;
(2) The mathematical result of multiplying the duration of an outage,
expressed in minutes, by the number of end users potentially affected by the
outage, for all other forms of communications.
(f) Working telephone numbers are defined to be the sum of all telephone
numbers that can originate, or terminate telecommunications. This includes,
for example, all working telephone numbers on the customer's side of a PBX,
or Centrex, or similar arrangement.
