Common use of Initial Forecasts/Trunking Requirements Clause in Contracts

Initial Forecasts/Trunking Requirements. Because BA's --------------------------------------- trunking requirements will, at least during an initial period, be dependent on the customer segments and service segments within customer segments to whom MFS decides to market its services. BA will be largely dependent on MFS to provide accurate trunk forecasts for both inbound (from BA) and outbound (from MFS) traffic. BA will, as an initial matter and upon request, provide the same number of trunks to terminate local traffic to MFS as MFS provides to terminate local traffic to BA, unless MFS expressly identifies particular situations that are expected to produce traffic that is substantially skewed in either the inbound or outbound direction, in which case BA will provide the number of trunks MFS suggests. Upon the establishment of any new set of trunks for traffic from BA to MFS, BA will monitor traffic for ninety (90) days, and will, as necessary at the end of that period, either augment trunks or disconnect trunks, based on the application of reasonable engineering criteria to the actual traffic volume experienced. If, after such 90-day period, BA has determined that the trunks are not warranted by actual traffic volumes, then, on ten (10) days' written notice, BA may hold MFS financially responsible for such trunks retroactive to the start of the 90-day period until such time as they are justified by actual traffic volumes, based on the application of reasonable engineering criteria. To the extent that BA requires MFS to install trunks for delivery of traffic to BA. MFS may apply the same procedures with respect to BA's trunking requirements.

To the extent that BA requires MFS APC to install trunks for delivery of traffic to BA. MFS , APC may apply the same procedures with respect to BA's ’s trunking requirements.

BA will, as an initial matter and upon request, provide the same number of trunks to terminate local traffic to MFS Focal as MFS Focal provides to terminate local traffic to BA, unless MFS Focal expressly identifies particular situations that are expected to produce traffic that is substantially skewed in either the inbound or outbound direction, in which case BA will provide the number of trunks MFS Focal suggests.
