Networx Update

• VOTS and ViTs charging. When will the customers
  start seeing billing?
• VoTS billing is core funded. 
• Networx pricing is planned to be in place in
  March and NISN should see the change in the April
  billing cycle. 
• However, based on current usage, charges may
  exceed funding allocated for VoTS for FY09 and
  FY10.  NISN is considering funding only Instant
  Meeting usage and have customers fund operator
  assisted conferences and any features requested
  in conference such as secure conference,
  recording, transcriptions, etc.  Once plans are
  finalized, customers will be notified on any
  billing changes and effective dates. 
• ViTS billing will continue under FTS2001. 
• As centers transition their conference rooms to
  the internal ViIP service, their FTS2001 billing
  will discontinue. 
• NISN is requesting that all conference rooms be
  transitioned by December 2009. 
• The internal ViIP service is expected to be in
  place by June 2009. 
• Once transitioned to internal ViIP service,
  customers will receive a bill from NISN for their
  ViTS services.
