Dear Sir
INTERCONNECT AGREEMENT BETWEEN NYNEX CABLECOMMS BOLTON AND
BRITISH TELECOMMUNICATIONS plc DATED 19 DAY of JULY 1996
We refer to the Agreement. Words and expressions used in this letter have the
same meanings as in the Agreement.
This letter is an agreement in writing by us pursuant to paragraph 30 of the
Agreement.
For the services to be provided by the Operator under the Schedules listed in
Annex 1 of this letter it is agreed, on a provisional basis, pursuant to
paragraph 13.2 of the Agreement (in addition to the provisions of paragraphs 19
and 20 of the Agreement), that the Interim Charges listed in Annex 1 are the
Interim Charges for such services with effect from 1/04/96 for the Financial
Year in Question (1/04/96 to 31/03/97).
It is agreed pursuant to paragraph 13.2.1 that the charges listed in Annex 1
shall be reviewed on the date that:
(a) a determination by the Director General of the BT Charges for the number
portability service provided by BT;
(b) a determination by the Director General of the charges for the number
portability service provided by the Operator; and
(c) a change (other than as a result of a determination by the Director
General) of the BT Charge for the number portability service provided by BT
in the Carrier Price List
is published for all or portion of the Financial Year in Question (1/04/96 to
31/03/97).
Following the above reviews any changes to the charges for the Financial Year in
Question (01/04/96 to 31/03/97) for any such services provided by the Operator,
will take effect from 01/04/96 and the Operator or BT, as the case may be, shall
recalculate the charges in respect of such service for the Financial Year in
Question using the new charge and calculate the interest for any sum overpaid or
underpaid at the OFTEL Interest Rate.
The Number Portability charges for the services provided by BT are listed in
Annex 2 attached to this letter.
It is agreed that, where a Party (the "Requested Party") does not offer a per
line set up service level which is equivalent to the service level offered by
the other Party (the "Requesting Party"), the per line set up charge paid by the
Requesting Party shall be the charge for the equivalent service offered by the
Requesting Party.
As Number Portability described in Schedule 04 (including the services referred
to in paragraph 2.9 in that Schedule) is not a standard service it will be shown
in the Carrier Price List as a BT Charge.

It is agreed that pending a modification of the BT Licence relating to the
provision of a Number Portability service it is BT's intention to change the BT
Charge for Number Portability as detailed in Schedule 04 (including the
services referred to in paragraph 2.9 in that Schedule) taking into account the
changes in relevant costs as such costs are used by the Director General in
determining Interim Charges and Final Charges for the relevant Financial Years
in Question.
Notwithstanding that any determination by the Director General of charges (if
any) for services provided under Schedule 04 (including the services referred
to in paragraph 2.9 in that Schedule) are determined after the date of this
letter the Parties agree to apply the determined charges back to 01/04/96.
The Parties agree for the purpose of paragraph 19.1.1 of the Agreement, that
modification of either Party's Licence relating to the provision of a number
portability service shall entitle either Party to seek to amend the Agreement
by serving a review notice.
Yours faithfully Accepted and agreed:
