New Interconnection Architecture Provisions. (i) The terms set forth above in this Section shall apply to any of the AT&T Parties in any LATA where any of the AT&T Parties is interconnected, as of November 1, 2004, with Verizon on a direct or indirect (i.e., through another local exchange carrier) basis. If none of the AT&T Parties is interconnected either directly or indirectly with Verizon in a LATA, the implementation of any interconnection by either Party shall be pursuant to the mutual POI terms and conditions set forth below. Appendix A sets forth those LATAs where AT&T and Verizon are not interconnected as of November 1, 2004 and for which the mutual POI terms set forth below shall apply, if interconnection is implemented between the Parties in those LATAs. (ii) AT&T shall establish at least one (1) mutual POI (i.e., a technically feasible point on Verizon’s network at which each Party delivers its originating traffic to the other Party) in each of the Verizon Tandem serving areas in each LATA in which either of the Parties wishes to exchange (but is not exchanging as of November 1, 2004) traffic. (iii) Except for LATAs 132 (in New York) and 224 (in New Jersey), the default mutual POI location(s) shall be (A) at each local Tandem location where Verizon houses separate local and access Tandems in the same Wire Center; and (B) at each Verizon local Tandem location, including those combination Tandems that provide both local and access functionality, provided that the number of mutual POIs established at local-only Tandem locations (i.e., there is no combination access functionality or separate access Tandem in the same Wire Center) does not exceed the number of Verizon access Tandems in the LATA. If the number of Verizon local-only Tandems in a LATA exceeds the number of Verizon access Tandems in a LATA, then Verizon may designate which local Tandem locations will be mutual POI locations; provided, however, AT&T shall provide separate trunk groups to those local Tandems at which a mutual POI has not been established by AT&T or direct End Office trunks for its originating traffic that is destined for a Verizon End Office that subtends a Verizon local Tandem at which a mutual POI has not been established by AT&T. For LATAs 132 and 224 (to the extent they are not grandfathered pursuant to Section 8(b) above), the default mutual POI location(s) shall be each Verizon local Tandem location irrespective of the number or location of Verizon access Tandems.
