MTE's responsibility is to provide dial tone to the Network Interface Device (NID) on the exterior of the business or dwelling. Connecting to the NID, interiorly, will be the responsibility of the customer, as will all wiring, telephones, computers, data, video, or other equipment.

MTE collects information such as particular services used, numbers called, frequency and duration of calls and billing records regarding the use of the telecommunication services that customers purchase from us. The company collects this information (CPNI) in order to provide the services requested and bill appropriately for services rendered.

MTE may use customer information without customer consent to market enhancements to services already used. For example, the customer purchases basic local phone service. The company does not need the customer's consent to use customer information to attempt to sell voicemail or caller ID service. However, MTE must have on file, the customer's completed "Opt-out" or "Opt-in" consent form before sharing customer information within the company in order to sell services the customer does not already have; for example, attempting to sell long distance service to a customer who has only subscribed to local service. If MTE uses customer information for other marketing strategies, consent must be given.

The customer has a right to the confidentiality of his or her information and MTE has a duty under federal law to protect that confidentiality. The customer has a right to consent (Opt-out), or to oppose (Opt-in), the proposed access, use, disclosure and/or distribution of customer information. Because of these rights and new FCC rulings, MTE requests that customers make a choice as to the release of information affecting the type of marketing information they might receive.

NOTE: Not selecting an option to authorize customer information for marketing purposes, automatically classifies the customer as an "Opt-out" customer, making the customer eligible to receive all marketing materials.
