Recognizing that RLEC has no way of measuring the Non-Local Traffic, in the event that Western Wireless does not track the usage information required to identify the Non-Local Traffic terminated by RLEC, both parties agree to use a default factor of 1.0% as an estimate of Non-Local Traffic from Western Wireless. The actual recorded usage shall be the basis for billing, when available and verifiable. 5.4.4.
