ii) addition to the traffic capacity of the exchanges in Erlangs and call handling capacity in BHCA.
iii) number of exchanges and signaling capacity to be connected over CCS7 signaling.
iv) Routewise expected traffic dispersion. * Provided that this time frame shall be six months for demand made for the first occasion in the first year of License period. However, this does not preclude the possibility of earlier provisioning of the interconnect capacity in full or in part subject to technical feasibility and availability.

CAPACITY ORDERING. 10.1.1 In an ACO Period the Operator may, in respect of any BT Switch Connection nominated by the Operator (for traffic handed over from the Operator System to the BT System), and, during the period ending two years after the first Ready for Test Date, in respect of any Operator Switch Connection nominated by BT (for traffic handed over from the BT System to the Operator System), place Capacity Orders up to the amount of the aggregate Capacity Provision (i.e. Capacity to be provided plus the provide element of Capacity to be rearranged) shown in the relevant Advance Capacity Orders for each such Switch Connection plus the greater of (a) 10 per cent. of such Capacity and (b) 4 x 2Mbit/s units of Capacity. Within these limits each Party shall Page 19 of 81 81 SUBJECT TO CONTRACT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- provide such Capacity that it is to provide within the time scales laid down in paragraph 11. For the period ending two years after the first Ready for Test Date, the reference in (b) to 4 x 2Mbit/s units of Capacity shall be increased to 8 x 2Mbit/s units of Capacity.
10.1.2 In an ACO Period the Operator shall place Capacity Orders for a minimum of 80 per cent. of the aggregate Capacity specified in the relevant Advance Capacity Orders for each Switch Connection, other than Capacity required at any Operator Switch Connection for incoming traffic from the BT System. Failure by the Operator to place such Capacity Orders shall result in pre-payment charges being paid by the Operator in accordance with paragraph 1 of Appendix C. Pre-payment charges arising with respect to a specific Switch Connection shall be accepted as pre-payment for future Capacity Orders in respect of Capacity for the same Switch Connection placed within 12 months of the end of the relevant ACO Period (thereby being credited against any charges payable by the Operator in respect of such Capacity Order(s)).
10.1.3 Capacity Orders placed by the Operator (on behalf of BT) for Capacity in respect of Traffic Types for which BT has the responsibility pursuant to paragraph 5.1.3, and any increase in order quantities above those agreed in the relevant Advance Capacity Order (subject to the limits set out in paragraph 10.
