Common use of Interconnection Points Clause in Contracts

Interconnection Points. The Parties shall establish physical Interconnection Points (“IPs”) at the locations designated on Schedule 4.0, which shall be revised from time to time in accordance with the requirements of this Section. The points on the Level 3 network at which BA shall hand off Local Traffic and Compensable Internet Traffic to Level 3 are designated as the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (“Level 3-IPs”). The points on the BA network at which Level 3 shall hand off Local Traffic and Compensable Internet Traffic to BA are designated as the BA Interconnection Points (“BA-IPs”). Each Party, as an Originating Party, may request that the other Party, as a Receiving Party, establish IPs on the Receiving Party’s network that are geographically-relevant to the NXXs (and associated rate centers) that are assigned by the Receiving Party. In the case of BA as a Receiving Party, to the extent Level 3 requests BA to establish a geographically-relevant IP in addition to the BA-IPs at the BA Tandems, the geographically-relevant IP shall be the BA End Office serving the Customer for whom the traffic is intended. In the case of Level 3 as a Receiving Party, BA may request, and Level 3 will then establish, geographically-relevant IPs by establishing a Level 3-IP at a Collocation site at each BA Tandem in a LATA (or, in the case of a single Tandem LATA, at each BA End Office Host), for those NXXs serving equivalent BA rate centers which subtend the BA Tandem (or BA End Office Host). For purposes of this Section 4.2.34.1, the Parties agree that Level 3-IPs at Collocation sites at the BA Tandems shown in Schedule 4.0 represent geographically relevant IPs for the LATAs listed in Schedule 4.0. In any LATA in which BA agrees that Level 3 may meet its obligation to establish geographically relevant IPs through a Collocation site at fewer than all of the BA Tandems (or BA End Office Host) in a LATA, including the LATAs identified in Schedule 4.0, then BA shall determine and advise Level 3 as to which Level 3 IP established at a Collocation site (or other available Level 3 IP) BA will deliver traffic from each relevant originating rate center or other originating location. If Level 3 fails to establish a geographically-relevant IP as provided herein within a commercially reasonable time, then Level 3 shall ▇▇▇▇ and BA shall pay only the applicable Intercarrier Compensation Rate for the relevant NXX, as set forth in Section 5.7 below, less BA’s monthly recurring rate for unbundled dedicated interoffice transport from BA’s originating End Office to Level 3’s IP. Should either Party offer additional IPs to any Telecommunications Carrier that is not a Party to this Agreement, the other Party may elect to deliver traffic to such IPs for the NXXs or functionalities served by those IPs. To the extent that any such Level 3-IP is not located at a Collocation site at a BA Tandem (or BA End Office Host), then Level 3 shall permit BA to establish physical interconnection at the Level 3-IP, to the extent such physical interconnection is technically feasible. At any time that Level 3 establishes a Collocation site at a BA End Office, then either Party may request that such Level 3 Collocation site be established as the Level 3-IP for traffic originated by BA Customers served by that End Office. Such request shall be negotiated pursuant to the Joint Grooming Plan process, and approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. To the extent that the Parties have already implemented network interconnection in a LATA, then upon BA’s request for a geographically-relevant Level 3-IP, the Parties shall negotiate a mutually-acceptable transition process and schedule to implement the geographically-relevant IPs. If Level 3 should fail to establish an IP at an End Office Collocation site pursuant to BA’s request, or if the Parties have been unable to agree upon a schedule for completing a transition from existing arrangements to geographically relevant Level 3 IPs or to an end office Collocation site Level 3 IP within thirty (30) days following BA’s request, Level 3 shall ▇▇▇▇ and BA shall pay the applicable Intercarrier Compensation rate for the relevant NXX, as set forth in Section 5.7 below, less BA’s monthly recurring rate for unbundled dedicated interoffice transport from BA’s originating End Office to the Level 3-IP. Should Level 3 choose to obtain transport from BA for Local and Compensable Internet Traffic from a Level 3-IP at a Collocation site to another Level 3 location, BA shall ▇▇▇▇ and Level 3 shall pay, the applicable unbundled dedicated interoffice transport and channel termination rates set forth herein. Channel termination charges shall not apply where the transport is between Level 3 Collocation sites.

Interconnection Points. The Parties shall establish physical Interconnection Points (“IPs”) at the locations designated on Schedule 4.0, which shall be revised from time to time in accordance with the requirements of this Section. The points on the Level 3 network at which BA shall hand off Local Traffic and Compensable Internet Traffic to Level 3 are designated as the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (“Level 3-IPs”). The points on the BA network at which Level 3 shall hand off Local Traffic and Compensable Internet Traffic to BA are designated as the BA Interconnection Points (“BA-IPs”). Each Party, as an Originating Party, may request that the other Party, as a Receiving Party, establish IPs on the Receiving Party’s network that are geographically-relevant to the NXXs (and associated rate centers) that are assigned by the Receiving Party. In the case of BA as a Receiving Party, to the extent Level 3 requests BA to establish a geographically-relevant IP in addition to the BA-IPs at the BA Tandems, the geographically-relevant IP shall be the BA End Office serving the Customer for whom the traffic is intended. In the case of Level 3 as a Receiving Party, BA may request, and Level 3 will then establish, geographically-relevant IPs by establishing a Level 3-IP at a Collocation site at each BA Tandem in a LATA (or, in the case of a single Tandem LATA, at each BA End Office Host), for those NXXs serving equivalent BA rate centers which subtend the BA Tandem (or BA End Office Host). For purposes of this Section 4.2.34.14.2.4.1, the Parties agree that Level 3-IPs at Collocation sites at the BA Tandems shown in Schedule 4.0 represent geographically relevant IPs for the LATAs listed in Schedule 4.0. In any LATA in which BA agrees that Level 3 may meet its obligation to establish geographically relevant IPs through a Collocation site at fewer than all of the BA Tandems (or BA End Office Host) in a LATA, including the LATAs identified in Schedule 4.0, then BA shall determine and advise Level 3 as to which Level 3 IP established at a Collocation site (or other available Level 3 IP) BA will deliver traffic from each relevant originating rate center or other originating location. If Level 3 fails to establish a geographically-relevant IP as provided herein within a commercially reasonable time, then Level 3 shall ▇▇▇▇ and BA shall pay only the applicable Intercarrier Compensation Rate for the relevant NXX, as set forth in Section 5.7 below, less BA’s monthly recurring rate for unbundled dedicated interoffice transport from BA’s originating End Office to Level 3’s IP. Should either Party offer additional IPs to any Telecommunications Carrier that is not a Party to this Agreement, the other Party may elect to deliver traffic to such IPs for the NXXs or functionalities served by those IPs. To the extent that any such Level 3-IP is not located at a Collocation site at a BA Tandem (or BA End Office Host), then Level 3 shall permit BA to establish physical interconnection at the Level 3-IP, to the extent such physical interconnection is technically feasible. At any time that Level 3 establishes a Collocation site at a BA End Office, then either Party may request that such Level 3 Collocation site be established as the Level 3-IP for traffic originated by BA Customers served by that End Office. Such request shall be negotiated pursuant to the Joint Grooming Plan process, and approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. To the extent that the Parties have already implemented network interconnection in a LATA, then upon BA’s request for a geographically-relevant Level 3-IP, the Parties shall negotiate a mutually-acceptable transition process and schedule to implement the geographically-relevant IPs. If Level 3 should fail to establish an IP at an End Office Collocation site pursuant to BA’s request, or if the Parties have been unable to agree upon a schedule for completing a transition from existing arrangements to geographically relevant Level 3 IPs or to an end office Collocation site Level 3 IP within thirty (30) days following BA’s request, Level 3 shall ▇▇▇▇ and BA shall pay the applicable Intercarrier Compensation rate for the relevant NXX, as set forth in Section 5.7 below, less BA’s monthly recurring rate for unbundled dedicated interoffice transport from BA’s originating End Office to the Level 3-IP. Should Level 3 choose to obtain transport from BA for Local and Compensable Internet Traffic from a Level 3-IP at a Collocation site to another Level 3 location, BA shall ▇▇▇▇ and Level 3 shall pay, the applicable unbundled dedicated interoffice transport and channel termination rates set forth herein. Channel termination charges shall not apply where the transport is between Level 3 Collocation sites.

Interconnection Points. The Parties shall establish physical Interconnection Points (“IPs”) at the locations designated on Schedule 4.0, which shall be revised from time to time in accordance with the requirements of this Section. The points on the Level 3 network at which BA shall hand off Local Traffic and Compensable Internet Traffic to Level 3 are designated as the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (“Level 3-IPs”). The points on the BA network at which Level 3 shall hand off Local Traffic and Compensable Internet Traffic to BA are designated as the BA Interconnection Points (“BA-IPs”). Each Party, as an Originating Party, may request that the other Party, as a Receiving Party, establish IPs on the Receiving Party’s network that are geographically-relevant to the NXXs (and associated rate centers) that are assigned by the Receiving Party. In the case of BA as a Receiving Party, to the extent Level 3 requests BA to establish a geographically-relevant IP in addition to the BA-IPs at the BA Tandems, the geographically-relevant IP shall be the BA End Office serving the Customer for whom the traffic is intended. In the case of Level 3 as a Receiving Party, BA may request, and Level 3 will then establish, geographically-relevant IPs by establishing a Level 3-IP at a Collocation site at each BA Tandem in a LATA (or, in the case of a single Tandem LATA, at each BA End Office Host), for those NXXs serving equivalent BA rate centers which subtend the BA Tandem (or BA End Office Host). For purposes of this Section 4.2.34.14.2.4.1, the Parties agree that Level 3-IPs at Collocation sites at the BA Tandems shown in Schedule 4.0 represent geographically relevant IPs for the LATAs listed in Schedule 4.0. In any LATA in which BA agrees that Level 3 may meet its obligation to establish geographically relevant IPs through a Collocation site at fewer than all of the BA Tandems (or BA End Office Host) in a LATA, including the LATAs identified in Schedule 4.0, then BA shall determine and advise Level 3 as to which Level 3 IP established at a Collocation site (or other available Level 3 IP) BA will deliver traffic from each relevant originating rate center or other originating location. If Level 3 fails to establish a geographically-relevant IP as provided herein within a commercially reasonable time, then Level 3 shall ▇▇▇▇ bill and BA shall pay only the applicable Intercarrier Compensation Rate for the relevant NXX, as set forth in Section 5.7 below, less BA’s monthly recurring rate for unbundled dedicated interoffice transport from BA’s originating End Office to Level 3’s IP. Should either Party offer additional IPs to any Telecommunications Carrier that is not a Party to this Agreement, the other Party may elect to deliver traffic to such IPs for the NXXs or functionalities served by those IPs. To the extent that any such Level 3-IP is not located at a Collocation site at a BA Tandem (or BA End Office Host), then Level 3 shall permit BA to establish physical interconnection at the Level 3-IP, to the extent such physical interconnection is technically feasible. At any time that Level 3 establishes a Collocation site at a BA End Office, then either Party may request that such Level 3 Collocation site be established as the Level 3-IP for traffic originated by BA Customers served by that End Office. Such request shall be negotiated pursuant to the Joint Grooming Plan process, and approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. To the extent that the Parties have already implemented network interconnection in a LATA, then upon BA’s request for a geographically-relevant Level 3-IP, the Parties shall negotiate a mutually-acceptable transition process and schedule to implement the geographically-relevant IPs. If Level 3 should fail to establish an IP at an End Office Collocation site pursuant to BA’s request, or if the Parties have been unable to agree upon a schedule for completing a transition from existing arrangements to geographically relevant Level 3 IPs or to an end office Collocation site Level 3 IP within thirty (30) days following BA’s request, Level 3 shall ▇▇▇▇ bill and BA shall pay the applicable Intercarrier Compensation rate for the relevant NXX, as set forth in Section 5.7 below, less BA’s monthly recurring rate for unbundled dedicated interoffice transport from BA’s originating End Office to the Level 3-IP. Should Level 3 choose to obtain transport from BA for Local and Compensable Internet Traffic from a Level 3-IP at a Collocation site to another Level 3 location, BA shall ▇▇▇▇ bill and Level 3 shall pay, the applicable unbundled dedicated interoffice transport and channel termination rates set forth herein. Channel termination charges shall not apply where the transport is between Level 3 Collocation sites.

Interconnection Points. The Parties shall establish physical Interconnection Points (“IPs”) at the locations designated on Schedule 4.0, which shall be revised from time to time in accordance with the requirements of this Section. The points on the Level 3 network at which BA shall hand off Local Traffic and Compensable Internet Traffic to Level 3 are designated as the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (“Level 3-IPs”). The points on the BA network at which Level 3 shall hand off Local Traffic and Compensable Internet Traffic to BA are designated as the BA Interconnection Points (“BA-IPs”). Each Party, as an Originating Party, may request that the other Party, as a Receiving Party, establish IPs on the Receiving Party’s network that are geographically-relevant to the NXXs (and associated rate centers) that are assigned by the Receiving Party. In the case of BA as a Receiving Party, to the extent Level 3 requests BA to establish a geographically-relevant IP in addition to the BA-IPs at the BA Tandems, the geographically-relevant IP shall be the BA End Office serving the Customer for whom the traffic is intended. In the case of Level 3 as a Receiving Party, BA may request, and Level 3 will then establish, geographically-relevant IPs by establishing a Level 3-IP at a Collocation site at each BA Tandem in a LATA (or, in the case of a single Tandem LATA, at each BA End Office Host), for those NXXs serving equivalent BA rate centers which subtend the BA Tandem (or BA End Office Host). For purposes of this Section 4.2.34.14.2.4.1, the Parties agree that Level 3-IPs at Collocation sites at the BA Tandems shown in Schedule 4.0 represent geographically relevant IPs for the LATAs listed in Schedule 4.0. In any LATA in which BA agrees that Level 3 may meet its obligation to establish geographically relevant IPs through a Collocation site at fewer than all of the BA Tandems (or BA End Office Host) in a LATA, including the LATAs identified in Schedule 4.0, then BA shall determine and advise Level 3 as to which Level 3 IP established at a Collocation site (or other available Level 3 IP) BA will deliver traffic from each relevant originating rate center or other originating location.

Should either Party offer additional IPs to any Telecommunications Carrier that is not a Party to this Agreement, the other Party may elect to deliver traffic to such IPs for the NXXs or functionalities served by those IPs. To the extent that any such Level 3-IP is not located at a Collocation site at a BA Tandem (or BA End Office Host), then Level 3 shall permit BA to establish physical interconnection at the Level 3-IP, to the extent such physical interconnection is technically feasible. At any time that Level 3 establishes a Collocation site at a BA End Office, then either Party may request that such Level 3 Collocation site be established as the Level 3-IP for traffic originated by BA Customers served by that End Office. Such request shall be negotiated pursuant to the Joint Grooming Plan process, and approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. To the extent that the Parties have already implemented network interconnection in a LATA, then upon BA’s request for a geographically-relevant Level 3-IP, the Parties shall negotiate a mutually-acceptable transition process and schedule to implement the geographically-geographically- relevant IPs. If Level 3 should fail to establish an IP at an End Office Collocation site pursuant to BA’s request, or if the Parties have been unable to agree upon a schedule for completing a transition from existing arrangements to geographically relevant Level 3 IPs or to an end office Collocation site Level 3 IP within thirty (30) days following BA’s request, Level 3 shall ▇▇▇▇ and BA shall pay the applicable Intercarrier Compensation rate for the relevant NXX, as set forth in Section 5.7 below, less BA’s monthly recurring rate for unbundled dedicated interoffice transport from BA’s originating End Office to the Level 3-IP.

Channel termination charges shall not apply where the transport is between Level 3 Collocation sites.

Interconnection Points. The Parties shall establish physical Interconnection Points (“IPs”) at the locations designated on Schedule 4.0, which shall be revised from time to time in accordance with the requirements of this Section. The points on the Level 3 network at which BA shall hand off Local Traffic and Compensable Internet Traffic to Level 3 are designated as the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (“Level 3-IPs”). The points on the BA network at which Level 3 shall hand off Local Traffic and Compensable Internet Traffic to BA are designated as the BA Interconnection Points (“BA-IPs”). Each Party, as an Originating Party, may request that the other Party, as a Receiving Partyparty, establish IPs on the Receiving Party’s network that are geographically-relevant to the NXXs (and associated rate centers) that are assigned by the Receiving Party. In the case of BA as a Receiving Party, to the extent Level 3 PaeTec requests BA to establish a geographically-relevant IP in addition to the BA-IPs at the BA Tandems, the geographically-relevant IP shall be the BA End Office end office serving the Customer for whom the traffic is intended. In the case of Level 3 PaeTec as a Receiving Party, BA may request, and Level 3 PaeTec will then establish, geographically-relevant IPs by establishing a Level 3PaeTec-IP at a Collocation site at each BA Tandem in a LATA (or, in the case of a single Tandem LATA, at each BA End Office Host), for those NXXs serving equivalent BA rate centers which subtend the BA Tandem (or BA End Office Host). For purposes of this Section 4.2.34.1, the Parties agree that Level 3-IPs at Collocation sites at the BA Tandems shown in Schedule 4.0 represent geographically relevant IPs for the LATAs listed in Schedule 4.0. In any LATA in which BA agrees that Level 3 PaeTec may meet its obligation to establish geographically relevant IPs through a Collocation site at fewer than all of the BA Tandems (or BA End Office Host) in a LATA, including the LATAs identified in Schedule 4.0, then BA shall determine and advise Level 3 PaeTec as to which Level 3 PaeTec IP established at a Collocation site (or other available Level 3 PaeTec IP) BA will deliver traffic from each relevant originating rate center or other originating location.

Should either Party offer additional IPs to any Telecommunications Carrier that is not a Party to this Agreement, the other Party may elect to deliver traffic to such IPs for the NXXs or functionalities served by those IPs. To the extent that any such Level 3PaeTec-IP is not located at a Collocation site at a BA Tandem (or BA End Office Host), then Level 3 PaeTec shall permit BA to establish physical interconnection at the Level 3PaeTec-IP, to the extent such physical interconnection is technically feasible. At any time that Level 3 PaeTec establishes a Collocation site at a BA End Office, then either Party may request that such Level 3 PaeTec Collocation site be established as the Level 3PaeTec-IP for traffic originated by BA Customers served by that End Office. Such request shall be negotiated pursuant to the Joint Grooming Plan process, and approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. To the extent that the Parties have already implemented network interconnection in a LATA, then upon BA’s request for a geographically-relevant Level 3PaeTec-IP, the Parties shall negotiate a mutually-acceptable transition process and schedule to implement the geographically-relevant IPs. If Level 3 PaeTec should fail to establish an IP at an End Office end office Collocation site pursuant to BA’s request, or if the Parties have been unable to agree upon a schedule for completing a transition from existing arrangements to geographically relevant Level 3 PaeTec IPs or to an end office Collocation site Level 3 PaeTec IP within thirty sixty (3060) days following BA’s request, Level 3 PaeTec shall ▇b▇▇▇ and BA shall pay the applicable Intercarrier Compensation rate Rate for the relevant NXX, as set forth in Section 5.7 7.0 below, less BA’s monthly recurring rate for unbundled dedicated interoffice transport from BA’s originating End Office to the Level 3PaeTec-IP.
