Common use of Intercarrier Compensation Clause in Contracts

Intercarrier Compensation. Signaling Parameters: CenturyLink and CLEC are required to provide each other the proper signaling information (e.g., originating Calling Party Number (CPN), Charge Number (ChN) and destination called party number, etc.) as required by Applicable Law and further clarified by the FCC Order to enable each Party to issue bills in a complete and timely fashion. All CCS signaling parameters will be provided unchanged including CPN, calling party category, ChN and Originating Line Information Parameter (OLIP) on all calls. All privacy indicators will be honored. The ChN is to be passed unaltered in SS7 signaling fields where it is different than CPN; ChN must not be populated with a number associated with an intermediate switch, platform, or gateway, or other number that designates anything other than a calling party’s charge number; and if MF signaling is used by the CLEC then the ChN must be included in the ANI field if different from the CPN. Where SS7 connections exist, each Party shall pass all CCS signaling parameters, where available, on each call carried over Interconnection trunks. If either Party fails to provide valid originating information such traffic will be billed as Intrastate Switched Access when the calls traverse an interconnection trunk. The Parties will coordinate and exchange data as necessary to determine the cause of the CPN/ChN failure and to assist its correction.

Intercarrier Compensation. Signaling Parameters: CenturyLink and CLEC are required to provide each other pass the proper signaling information (e.g., identifying the originating Calling Party Number (CPN), ) or Charge Number (ChN) and destination called party number), etc.) if different from the CPN as required by Applicable Law and further clarified by the FCC Order Orders to enable each Party to issue bills in a complete and timely fashion. All CCS signaling parameters will be provided passed unchanged by the Parties including CPN, calling party category, ChN and Originating Line Information Parameter (OLIP) on all calls.
