1Initial Forecasts/Trunking Requirements. Because Verizon’s trunking requirements will, at least during an initial period, be dependent on the Customer segments and service segments within Customer segments to whom NTL decides to market its services, Verizon will be largely dependent on NTL to provide accurate trunk forecasts for both inbound (from Verizon) and outbound (to Verizon) traffic. Verizon will, as an initial matter provide the same number of trunks to terminate Local Traffic to NTL as NTL provides to terminate Local Traffic to Verizon. At Verizon’s discretion, when NTL expressly identifies particular situations that are expected to produce traffic that is substantially skewed in either the inbound or outbound direction, Verizon will provide the number of trunks NTL suggests; provided, however, that in all cases Verizon’s provision of the forecasted number of trunks to NTL is conditioned on the following: that such forecast is based on reasonable engineering criteria, there are no capacity constraints, and NTL’s previous forecasts have proven to be reliable and accurate.

1Initial Forecasts/Trunking Requirements. Because Verizon’s trunking requirements will, at least during an initial period, be dependent on the Customer segments and service segments within Customer segments to whom TCCF decides to market its services, Verizon will be largely dependent on TCCF to provide accurate trunk forecasts for both inbound (from Verizon) and outbound (to Verizon) traffic. Verizon will, as an initial matter provide the same number of trunks to terminate Local Traffic to TCCF as TCCF provides to terminate Local Traffic to Verizon. At Verizon’s discretion, when TCCF expressly identifies particular situations that are expected to produce traffic that is substantially skewed in either the inbound or outbound direction, Verizon will provide the number of trunks TCCF suggests; provided, however, that in all cases Verizon’s provision of the forecasted number of trunks to TCCF is conditioned on the following: that such forecast is based on reasonable engineering criteria, there are no capacity constraints, and TCCF’s previous forecasts have proven to be reliable and accurate.
