Common use of Initial Forecasts/Trunking Requirements Clause in Contracts

Initial Forecasts/Trunking Requirements. Because Verizon’s trunking requirements will, at least during an initial period, be dependent on the Customer segments and service segments within Customer segments to whom NOS decides to market its services, Verizon will be largely dependent on NOS to provide accurate trunk forecasts for both inbound (from Verizon) and outbound (to Verizon) traffic. Verizon will, as an initial matter provide the same number of trunks to terminate Local Traffic to NOS as NOS provides to terminate Local Traffic to Verizon. At Verizon’s discretion, when NOS expressly identifies particular situations that are expected to produce traffic that is substantially skewed in either the inbound or outbound direction, Verizon will provide the number of trunks NOS suggests; provided, however, that in all cases Verizon’s provision of the forecasted number of trunks to NOS is conditioned on the following: that such forecast is based on reasonable engineering criteria, there are no capacity constraints, and NOS’s previous forecasts have proven to be reliable and accurate.

Because Verizon’s trunking requirements will, at least during an initial period, be dependent on the Customer segments and service segments within Customer segments to whom NOS Best decides to market its services, Verizon will be largely dependent on NOS Best to provide accurate trunk forecasts for both inbound (from Verizon) and outbound (to Verizon) traffic. Verizon will, as an initial matter provide the same number of trunks to terminate Local Traffic to NOS Best as NOS Best provides to terminate Local Traffic to Verizon. At Verizon’s discretion, when NOS Best expressly identifies particular situations that are expected to produce traffic that is substantially skewed in either the inbound or outbound direction, Verizon will provide the number of trunks NOS Best suggests; provided, however, that in all cases Verizon’s provision of the forecasted number of trunks to NOS Best is conditioned on the following: that such forecast is based on reasonable engineering criteria, there are no capacity constraints, and NOSBest’s previous forecasts have proven to be reliable and accurate.

Initial Forecasts/Trunking Requirements. Because Verizon’s trunking requirements will, at least during an initial period, be dependent on the Customer segments and service segments within Customer segments to whom NOS Norcom decides to market its services, Verizon will be largely dependent on NOS Norcom to provide accurate trunk forecasts for both inbound (from Verizon) and outbound (to Verizon) traffic. Verizon will, as an initial matter provide the same number of trunks to terminate Local Traffic to NOS Norcom as NOS Norcom provides to terminate Local Traffic to Verizon. At Verizon’s discretion, when NOS Norcom expressly identifies particular situations that are expected to produce traffic that is substantially skewed in either the inbound or outbound direction, Verizon will provide the number of trunks NOS Norcom suggests; provided, however, that in all cases Verizon’s provision of the forecasted number of trunks to NOS Norcom is conditioned on the following: that such forecast is based on reasonable engineering criteria, there are no capacity constraints, and NOSNorcom’s previous forecasts have proven to be reliable and accurate.
