Common use of Single Point of Interconnection Clause in Contracts

Single Point of Interconnection. Upon notification by RNK that it requests interconnection and/or access to unbundled Inside Wire Subloops, at a multiunit premises and, if so requested by RNK, Verizon shall provide a single point of interconnection (SPOI) that is suitable for use by multiple carriers. This obligation shall be in addition to Verizon’s obligations, under section 51.319 (b) (2) of the FCC’s rules, to provide nondiscriminatory access to a Subloop for access to multiunit premises wiring, including any inside wire, at any technically feasible point and in any technically feasible manner (with Verizon having the burden of demonstrating infeasibility). Unless mutual agreement is reached with respect to completion of SPOI construction, Verizon shall complete the construction of the SPOI and provide RNK with unrestricted access thereto not more than forty-five (45) days from receipt of a request by RNK to construct a SPOI. Upon completion of the SPOI, Verizon agrees Verizon shall access all customers it serves at that location through the same SPOI. Verizon charges shall recover only total element long-run incremental cost for constructing any such SPOI. The charges for the SPOI shall be recovered in a nondiscriminatory manner from all carriers (including the portion used by Verizon) using the SPOI. If, within fifteen (15) days from Verizon’s receipt of a request from RNK to construct a SPOI, Verizon and RNK are unable to negotiate rates, terms, and conditions under which Verizon will provide this single point of interconnection, then any issues in dispute regarding this obligation shall be resolved in state proceedings under Section 252 of the Act. Notwithstanding arbitration of the rates, if Verizon has not completed construction of the SPOI and provided access to RNK within forty-five (45) days of RNK’s request, RNK may elect to deploy its own cross connection configuration and connect it to the existing Verizon access point with no further financial obligation to Verizon. If the Verizon SPOI is subsequently made operational and pricing resolved, then Verizon may re-terminate the RNK cross-connections, without additional charge to RNK provided that RNK may obtain a mutually agreeable customer release schedule. Verizon may, at its own option and expense, deploy a multi-carrier SPOI but only if that deployment does not delay RNK access to customers in the MTE.

Single Point of Interconnection. Upon notification by RNK 3.3.11.1 The SPOI is a cross-connect device that it requests interconnection and/or provides non- discriminatory access for cross connections to unbundled Inside Wire Subloopsall Subloop elements and to all units in an MTE. The SPOI is capable of terminating multiple carriers' outside plant that serve a particular premises. 3.3.11.2 Verizon must, at AT&T’s request, cooperate in any reconfiguration of the network necessary to construct a multiunit premises and, if so requested by RNK, SPOI.

Upon completion of the SPOI, Verizon agrees Verizon it shall access all customers it serves at that location through pairs terminating at the same SPOI. . 3.3.11.4 Verizon charges shall recover only be compensated based on total element long-run incremental cost for constructing any such SPOI. The charges for the SPOI shall be recovered in a nondiscriminatory manner from all carriers (including the portion used by Verizon) using ), based on the proportional number of pairs accessed through the SPOI. 3.3.11.5 All disputes arising under this provision, including any dispute over the 3.3.11.6 When a SPOI is established after AT&T begins providing service to a particular location, it shall be at AT&T’s option that its pre- existing wiring be re-terminated to the SPOI. IfAT&T may perform all work or, within fifteen (15) days from Verizon’s receipt of a upon request from RNK and subject to construct a SPOIapplicable time and material charges, Verizon and RNK are unable to negotiate rates, terms, and conditions under which Verizon will provide this single point of interconnection, then any issues in dispute regarding this obligation shall be resolved in state proceedings under Section 252 of the Act. Notwithstanding arbitration of the rates, if Verizon has not completed construction of the SPOI and provided access to RNK within forty-five (45) days of RNK’s request, RNK may elect to deploy its own cross connection configuration and connect it to the existing Verizon access point with no further financial obligation to Verizon. If the Verizon SPOI is subsequently made operational and pricing resolved, then Verizon may re-terminate the RNK cross-connectionswiring. 3.3.11.7 When the building owner requests that a SPOI be deployed, without additional charge which also serves as the demarcation point, and Verizon accommodates the request, Verizon is responsible for providing reasonable and appropriate advance notification to RNK provided AT&T that RNK may obtain such a mutually agreeable customer release schedule. Verizon may, at its own option and expense, deploy a multi-carrier SPOI but only if that deployment does not delay RNK access to customers in the MTE.change will be made
