Interconnection Methods Sample Clauses

Interconnection Methods. There are two methods of interconnection available; direct interconnection and indirect interconnection. 2.1 Direct interconnection provides for network interconnection between the Parties through, including but not limited to, one or more of the following methods: 1) lease arrangements, and 2) jointly provisioned facilities arrangements. 2.1.1 If ICG’s end office or wire center is within ALLTEL’s local exchange boundary where direct interconnection is requested, either Party may lease from the other Party facilities between ALLTEL’s end office or wire center location and ICG end office or wire center location, subject to availability. Unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to different locations, ALLTEL’s IP will be located at ICG end office or wire center location and ICG’s IP will be located at the ALLTEL end office or wire center location. Lease arrangements will be governed by the applicable ALLTEL interstate, intrastate or local, special access or private line tariffs under which ICG orders service. 2.1.2 Jointly provisioned service arrangements provide for direct interconnection of the Parties networks at a point other than the ALLTEL and ICG end office or wire center and involve each Party’s partial provisioning of network facilities to interconnect the Parties networks (e.g., midspan fiber meet). Should the parities interconnect via jointly provisioned facilities, the Parties will mutually agree to an IP provided, however, that the IP will be within ALLTEL’s exchange boundary where direct interconnection is requested. Each Party is individually responsible for its costs incurred in establishing this arrangement. 2.2 Indirect interconnection provides for network interconnection between the Parties through a third party tandem provider performing a transit function. Under this arrangement, the originating Party has the responsibility to pay any applicable transit or tandem switched access fees and common transport associated with traffic exchanged between the Parties.

Unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to different locations, ALLTEL’s IP will be located at MCIW’s end office or wire center location and MCIW’s IP will be located at the ALLTEL’s end office or wire center location. Lease arrangements will be governed by the applicable ALLTEL UNE prices, interstate, intrastate or local, special access or private line tariffs under which MCIW orders service. 2.1.2 Jointly provisioned service arrangements provide for direct interconnection of the Parties networks at a point other than the ALLTEL’s and MCIW’s end office or wire center and involve each Party’s partial provisioning of network facilities to interconnect the Parties networks (e.g., midspan fiber meet or SONET Ring). Should the parties interconnect via jointly provisioned facilities, the Parties will mutually agree to an IP, provided, however, that the IP will be within ALLTEL’s exchange boundary where direct interconnection is requested. Each Party is individually responsible for its costs incurred in establishing this arrangement. SONET Ring – the parties each agree to provide where available, in a physical diverse route, fiber transmission facilities to the other’s designated IP. Each party will be responsible for providing compatible optical terminating equipment on its side of their respective IPs for the purpose of constructing a diverse SONET Ring interconnection arrangement. All optical equipment used must conform to applicable industry standards and be compatible with the other Party’s equipment.

Where ALLTEL does not have tandem capability (as defined in the LERG) in a serving area to connect multiple end offices, unless mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, the IP will be located at the Alltel end office or wire center location. Where ALLTEL has tandem capability (as defined in the LERG) in a serving area to connect multiple end offices, Level 3 shall establish an IP in each ALLTEL mandatory local calling area. In lieu of leasing facilities from ALLTEL, Level 3 may lease third-party facilities or provision its own facilities to interconnect with ALLTEL at the IP(s) required under this Section. 2.1.2 Jointly provisioned service arrangements provide for direct interconnection of the Parties networks at a point other than the ALLTEL and Level 3 end office or wire center and involve each Party’s partial provisioning of network facilities to interconnect the Parties networks (e.g., midspan fiber meet). Should the parities interconnect via jointly provisioned facilities, the Parties will mutually agree to an IP provided, however, that the IP will be within ALLTEL’s exchange boundary where direct interconnection is requested. 2.1.2.1 In situations where a mid-span fiber meet or third party “meet point” is utilized by the Parties pursuant to Section 2.1.2 of this Agreement, each Party is responsible for bringing its originating traffic to such “meet point” for termination by the other Party and will bear the full cost a...
