Form 221 - Long Distance Operating Revenues and Minutes

What is the difference between minute based revenues and Subscription Plan fees?

Minute-based revenues include minutes not covered by a subscription plan and/or minutes exceeding the minute threshold specified in the plan.  The Subscription Plan fee refers to the monthly recurring charge required to subscribe to the long distance plan.

Some of our Subscription Plans or Network Admin Fees may be related to more than one of the Domestic, US, or Overseas Categories. Should these plans and fees be split among the various categories?

In many instances, subscription plans and associated network Administration fees can be attributed to one category, and as such should be allocated as such. Where a subscriber may subscribe to more than one plan, or where a plan may be for more than one of the classifications provided (Domestic, US, Overseas), these charges should be split between classifications based on usage.
