EXPLANATORY NOTE.

The Eirpac Volume Discount shall be calculated as set out in the Fourth Schedule to this Scheme. Bord Telecom Éireann may at its absolute discretion withdraw the Eirpac Volume Discount from all or any subscribers.

(2) It shall be a condition of the application of the Eirpac Volume Discount that

(i) The Eirpac calls shall be made by the subscriber or by employees of the subscriber; and

(

a

(

b

) the duration (where applicable) of the Eirpac call determined and recorded by the packet switching exchange.

(2) The charges applicable to the volume and duration and where appropriate dial up access referred to at (

(3) Every Eirpac call made by dial up access to the public switched telephone exchange system, shall in addition to the charges referred to at (
