Common use of FCC Interconnection Architecture Rules Clause in Contracts

FCC Interconnection Architecture Rules. If, prior to the expiration of the Amendment Term, the FCC issues an order, modifying the network interconnection rules, in its Unified Intercarrier Compensation Regime proceeding (CC Docket 01-92), upon a Party’s written request, the Parties shall, on a market by market basis, discuss in good faith how, if at all, they wish to conform the existing network interconnection architecture to the newly adopted FCC rules. For the avoidance of any doubt, implementation of such new rules taking effect prior to the expiration of the Amendment Term would be subject to the mutual, written agreement of the Parties, and implementation of such new rules to take effect after December 31, 2006 would be subject to the provisions of any Interconnection Agreement related to modifying an Interconnection Agreement for a change of law.
