Common use of Compensation of InterMTA Traffic Clause in Contracts

Compensation of InterMTA Traffic. 57.3.1 The Parties will use InterMTA traffic factors and a percent interstate usage factor (“PIU”) to estimate the amount of traffic that is InterMTA. a. The InterMTA Mobile-Land (M-L) factor accounts for Carrier- originated traffic that crosses the MTA boundary and traverses the Local Interconnection Trunks. Based upon the unique MTA geography of the areas served by the Parties, for the first three months of this Agreement and thereafter unless changed as provided in this Section, the InterMTA M-L factor, as shown in Table 1, shall be applied to minutes of use terminating from Carrier to CenturyLink. CenturyLink will xxxx Xxxxxxx for the resulting InterMTA M-L minutes at the terminating interstate switched access rates. b. The InterMTA Land-Mobile (X-X) factor accounts for Carrier- terminated traffic that crosses the MTA boundary and traverses the Local Interconnection Trunks. Based upon the unique MTA geography of the areas served by the Parties, for the first three months of this Agreement and thereafter unless changed as provided in this Section, the InterMTA X-X factor, as shown in Table 1, shall be applied to minutes of use originating from CenturyLink to Carrier. The PIU factor, also shown in Table 1, shall be applied to InterMTA X-X traffic to split into intrastate and interstate traffic. CenturyLink will xxxx Xxxxxxx for the resulting InterMTA X-X minutes at the originating intrastate or interstate switched access rates. 57.3.2 No reciprocal compensation will be paid by CenturyLink to Carrier for InterMTA traffic. CenturyLink may xxxx Xxxxxxx switched access tariffed rates for this traffic in accordance with 66.3.1. a. Following an initial three month period, either Party may conduct a state-specific traffic study to derive more accurate InterMTA factors and/or PIU, the results of which will be used going forward upon amendment of this Agreement by the Parties; provided, however, that the InterMTA factors and PIU shall not be revised more often than once every six months. Carrier will work with CenturyLink to ensure the necessary traffic data required for sampling purposes is available for such study. b. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, in the absence of a written agreement between the Parties stating otherwise, any traffic which is not included within the definition of Local Traffic or otherwise specifically addressed in this Agreement will be billed to Carrier at Access Service rates. The right to assess such Access Service charges shall not be deemed to constitute authorization for Carrier to route any traffic in a manner which is not permitted under this Agreement.
