Common use of 8YY Interconnection Arrangement Clause in Contracts

8YY Interconnection Arrangement. 5.3.3.1 Under 8YY Interconnection Arrangement, CLEC shall submit and SBC ILLINOIS shall accept an ASR for trunk groups necessary for the transmission and routing of translated (i.e., “dipped”) 8YY traffic to SBC ILLINOIS from an CLEC or CLEC affiliate Switch Center (such as an 5ESS® or equivalent switch) that will perform the necessary Switching Service Point functions and queries to an Industry Toll- Free Database. 5.3.3.2 If the CLEC Switch is located in the same LATA as the serving SBC ILLINOIS Tandem, the existing two-way TCT trunk group will connect the CLEC Switch to the serving SBC ILLINOIS Tandem, or, in the case of a new interconnection, the two-way TCT trunks provisioned during the initial network turn-up would be used. 5.3.3.3 If the CLEC Switch Center performing Switching Service Point functions and queries to an Industry Toll-Free Database is not located in the same LATA as the serving SBC ILLINOIS Tandem, the TCT trunk group shall be provisioned from a POI in the LATA in which both the originating CLEC customer and the serving SBC ILLINOIS Tandem are located. 5.3.3.4 SBC ILLINOIS and CLEC agree to jointly engineer the 8YY Interconnection Arrangement trunk groups to be used solely for the transmission and routing of either Local Traffic or Exchange Access traffic (both of which includes translated 8YY traffic) to allow CLEC’s Customers to connect to or be connected to SBC ILLINOIS’ end user customers or the interexchange trunks of any Interexchange Carrier that is connected to an SBC ILLINOIS access Tandem or POI. CLEC added language is for clarity. 5.3.3.5 The 8YY Interconnection Arrangement trunk groups shall be jointly engineered as follows: (1) CLEC may elect (at its sole discretion) to send its customers’ originating non- translated 8YY calls to an CLEC Switch Center that is located outside the LATA in which the CLEC customer is located to perform the necessary Switching Service Point functions and queries to an Industry Toll-Free Database. In such case, the Parties will provision one-way trunk groups between a POI in the LATA in which the CLEC customer is located and the SBC ILLINOIS Tandem switch in that LATA to allow these calls to be routed to those interexchange carriers connected to the SBC ILLINOIS Tandem switch. (2) Alternatively, CLEC may elect (at its sole discretion) to send its customers’ non- translated 8YY calls to an CLEC Switch Center that is located within the LATA in which the CLEC customer is located to perform the necessary Switching Service Point functions and queries to an Industry Toll-Free Database. In such case, the parties will use the existing two-way 64 Kb TCT trunk groups between the CLEC Switch Center performing the necessary Switching Service Point functions and queries to an Industry Toll-Free Database and the SBC ILLINOIS Tandem to allow these calls to be routed to those interexchange carriers connected to the SBC ILLINOIS Tandem switch.
