Compensation For Use Of Local Interconnection Facilities. A. Interconnection facilities include the facilities that connect the Parties' respective switching networks.
B. The Parties agree that each has an equal obligation to interconnect its network infrastructure to the other's network. The Parties may decide to own the interconnection facility jointly or to provide facilities to deliver traffic to the other. If the Parties agree to build the interconnection facilities, they will agree on desired capacity and performance characteristics and then may bid to install the facilities. The Party with the lowest bid will construct the facilities and bill the other Party 50% of the construction costs. The constructing Party will charge a monthly maintenance charge for maintaining the facilities. This charge will be based upon the TELRIC of maintaining the facility. (Solely for the purpose of this paragraph, TELRIC shall be defined as did the FCC in the First Interconnection Order.) !f the Parties decide not to build and operate the interconnecting facility jointly, they may choose from options 1 or 2 below.
C. The Parties agree to the following terms based on consideration of the generally balanced use of the Parties' respective facilities for interconnection. Such consideration is based on relative facility length the capacity provided to each other, determined by the comparison of facility deployment behind the POIs associated with CLEC collocation arrangements and PACIFIC's network. This compensation is contingent on a balanced facility interconnection being defined in Appendix A.
1. Where the P01 for the Local Interconnection Trunk Group is located other than in the same PACIFIC Wire Center as the PACIFIC switch where the Local Interconnection Trunk Group terminates, CLEC will pay a monthly charge for the PACIFIC-provided facility according to PACIFIC's intrastate access tariff, in addition to any usage rate elements in Section III above. CLEC may, at its option, choose to pay PACIFIC either the applicable PACIFIC tariffed unbundled transport or unbundled interoffice Attachment 18 facility rates for DS-1 rates for those DS-1(s) used for Local Interconnection Trunks in a DS-3 facility, or pay the applicable tariffed or unbundled interoffice facility rates for DS-3 for each DS-3 facility, used for Local Interconnection Trunks between the Parties.

Compensation For Use Of Local Interconnection Facilities. 4.1. Interconnection facilities include the facility that connect the Parties' respective switching networks.
4.2. The Parties will specify the end office, routing point, and/or Access Tandem at which the two networks will interconnect for exchange traffic, as specified in Appendix A.
4.3. The Parties agree to amend this Agreement when new facilities are established pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement and to mutually negotiate the compensation for such facilities. Attachment 18
4.4. The Parties agree that each has an equal obligation to interconnect their network infrastructure to the other's network. The following describes the arrangement between the Parties for compensation for facilities established to transport Local Exchange Traffic between the Parties. The Parties agree to the following terms based on consideration of the generally balanced use of the Parties' respective facilities for interconnection. Such consideration is based on relative facility length the capacity provided to each other, determined by the comparison of facility deployment behind the POls associated with CLC collocation arrangements and Pacific's network. This compensation is contingent on a balanced facility interconnection as defined in the table of interconnections attached as Appendix A of this Attachment.
4.4.1 Where the POl for the Local Interconnection Trunk Group is located other than in the same Wire Center as the PACIFIC Central Office where the Local Interconnection Trunk Group terminates, CLC will pay a monthly charge for the PACIFIC provided facility according to Pacific's tariff, in addition to the Switched Access elements in Section 3 above. CLC will pay a monthly charge for the facility and collocation cross- connect equal to one channel termination at DS-1 rates (per DS-1 used for Local Interconnection Trunks) or DS-3 rates (per DS-3 used for Local Interconnection Trunks) according IL-0 PACIFIC's CPUC 175-T tariff, Section 6.8.2., in addition to the Switched Access elements for Toll Calls, above. CLC may, at its option, choose to pay PACIFIC either the applicable PACIFIC tariffed DS-1 rates for those DS-1(s) used for Local Interconnection Trunks in a DS-3 facility, or pay the applicable PACIFIC tariffed DS-3 rate for each DS-3 facility used for Local Interconnection Trunks between the Parties.
4.4.2 Where the POI for the Local Interconnection Trunk Group is at a collocation arrangement in the same Wire Center as the PACIFIC Central Office where the Local In...
