Common use of Terms for Grandfathering of Existing Interconnection Architecture Clause in Contracts

Terms for Grandfathering of Existing Interconnection Architecture. (i) Subject to the terms of this Amendment, the Parties shall “grandfather” their carrier-specific point of interconnection (“POI”) architecture existing as of November 1, 2004 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. As such, in those LATAs in which the Parties are interconnected as of November 1, 2004, Verizon shall deliver traffic to AT&T switch(es) in such LATAs where Verizon has an obligation to do so pursuant to the terms of the applicable Interconnection Agreements; and AT&T shall deliver traffic to Verizon Tandems and End Offices in such LATAs where AT&T has an obligation to do so pursuant to the terms of the applicable Interconnection Agreements. (ii) AT&T shall establish direct end office trunks between any AT&T End Office and any Verizon End Office when traffic between such End Offices reaches 1215 busy hour centium call seconds (“BHCCS”) in any two (2) consecutive months (or in any three (3) of six (6) consecutive months). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Interconnection Agreements, this Amendment, an applicable tariff or SGAT, or otherwise, AT&T shall be financially responsible for any transport facilities associated with such direct end office trunking to the Verizon End Office for traffic originating on AT&T’s network. (iii) For the avoidance of any doubt, the term “transport” as used in this Amendment includes transport facilities, as well as any multiplexing and entrance facilities, to the extent applicable. (iv) In addition to any other interconnection methods set forth in the applicable Interconnection Agreements, both Parties may meet the foregoing interconnection obligations through purchasing transport from the other Party or a third party, or through self-provisioning. AT&T may self-provision via collocation at the applicable Verizon Wire Center (or via collocation at another Verizon Wire Center in the applicable LATA and the purchase of transport from such Verizon Wire Center (at which AT&T collocates) to the applicable Wire Center), subject to the collocation terms of the applicable Interconnection Agreement or Verizon tariff; and Verizon may do so via an arrangement in which Verizon places its equipment in an AT&T Wire Center, and AT&T provides space and power. For such self-provisioning arrangements that Verizon establishes on or after November 1, 2004 at an AT&T premise, AT&T shall provide the arrangements at rates no less favorable (taken as a whole) than Verizon collocation rates, and under terms and conditions subject to negotiation and mutual agreement by the Parties. (For avoidance of doubt, AT&T’s collocation rates need not be structured identically to Verizon’s rates. For example, AT&T may assess fees for space and power on DS-1 or DS-3 increments rather than by square footage.) For such self-provisioning arrangements that Verizon established prior to November 1, 2004 at an AT&T premise, if the applicable Interconnection Agreement provides AT&T with the right to charge for such arrangements, and if AT&T was charging Verizon, as of November 1, 2004, for such arrangements, Verizon will continue to have an obligation to pay those charges. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Interconnection Agreements, this Amendment, an applicable tariff or SGAT, or otherwise, Verizon shall not have an obligation to pay any charges associated with the use of AT&T space and power for any such pre-existing arrangements for which AT&T was not charging Verizon as of November 1, 2004. (v) Where an AT&T switch is outside the originating Verizon Tandem serving area, and where Verizon is purchasing transport from AT&T, then AT&T shall charge Verizon transport mileage charges that are calculated using the lesser of the actual airline mileage for the transport Verizon purchases from AT&T or 10 miles. Where an AT&T switch is within the originating Verizon Tandem service area, and where Verizon is purchasing transport from AT&T, AT&T may charge Verizon transport mileage charges calculated using the actual airline mileage for the transport Verizon purchases from AT&T. Subject to the foregoing, in those jurisdictions where Verizon is providing interconnection transport to AT&T, AT&T shall charge Verizon a transport rate that is no higher than the lower of (A) the transport rate that Verizon charges AT&T in such jurisdictions, subject to application of the available Verizon volume and term pricing requirements as provided below in subsection (vii) (and, for the avoidance of any doubt, Verizon’s own volumes of transport obtained from AT&T shall be applied in determining whether Verizon qualifies for any volume and term pricing requirements), and (B) the rate that would be available to Verizon pursuant to the applicable AT&T tariff that corresponds to the tariff providing the basis (i.e., intrastate or interstate special access) for Verizon’s rates without regard to this Amendment, subject to application of the available volume and term pricing requirements available under the AT&T tariff as provided below in subsection (vii) based on Verizon’s volumes of transport obtained from AT&T. Under each of subsections (A) and (B) above, where Verizon uses Percent Interstate Usage (“PIU”) and Percent Local Usage (“PLU”) factors for purposes of Verizon’s billing of transport to AT&T pursuant to the Interconnection Agreement, AT&T shall apply to such billing of Verizon the same PIU and PLU factors, where applicable, that AT&T provides to Verizon, which factors may be calculated by AT&T on a total volume-weighted statewide or LATA-wide basis as agreed upon by the Parties. (vi) In those jurisdictions where Verizon is not providing interconnection transport to AT&T, the transport amount that AT&T shall charge to Verizon for purposes of this Section shall be an amount no higher than the Verizon interstate access rates for the applicable jurisdiction, subject to the volume and terms pricing requirements as provided below. At such time that Verizon provides interconnection transport to AT&T in such a jurisdiction, then the terms of the immediately preceding subsection shall apply. (vii) In all cases described above, each Party shall make available to the other Party any applicable volume and term pricing (subject to the other Party meeting the requirements of the volume and term plan). (viii) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Interconnection Agreements, this Amendment, an applicable tariff or SGAT, or otherwise, AT&T shall reflect the charges for interconnection transport set forth in this Amendment beginning immediately in its invoices to Verizon.

For such self-provisioning arrangements that Verizon established prior to November 1, 2004 the Effective Date at an AT&T premise, if the applicable Interconnection Agreement provides AT&T with the right to charge for such arrangements, and if AT&T was charging Verizon, as of November 1, 2004the Effective Date, for such arrangements, Verizon will continue to have an obligation to pay those charges. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Interconnection Agreements, this Amendment, an applicable tariff or SGAT, or otherwise, Verizon shall not have an obligation to pay any charges associated with the use of AT&T space and power for any such pre-existing arrangements for which AT&T was not charging Verizon as of November 1, 2004the Effective Date.
