INTERCONNECTION AND RECIPROCAL COMPENSATION. 4.1. All combined Local Traffic and ISP-Bound Traffic delivered to one Party by the other Party that does not exceed a 3:1 ratio of terminating to originating minutes of use, on a state-wide basis, is presumed to be Section 251(b)(5) Traffic (“Local Traffic”). All combined Local Traffic and ISP-Bound Traffic delivered to a Party that exceeds a 3:1 ratio of terminating to originating traffic minutes of use, on a state-wide basis, is presumed to be ISP-Bound Traffic. This presumption may be rebutted by either Party consistent with the provisions of the FCC’s Order on Remand and Report and Order, FCC 01-131, CC Dockets No. 96-98 and 99-68, adopted April 18, 2001 (the “ISP Compensation Order”).
4.2. The Parties agree that by executing this Agreement and carrying out the intercarrier compensation rates, terms and conditions herein, neither Party waives any of its rights, and expressly reserves all of its rights, under the ISP Compensation Order.
INTERCONNECTION AND RECIPROCAL COMPENSATION. 37.1. The rates to be charged for the exchange of Local Traffic are set forth in Table 1 of this Part and shall be applied consistent with the provisions of Part F of this Agreement. Under this agreement, Sprint is only required to compensate CLEC for terminating Local Traffic.
37.2. Compensation for the termination of toll traffic and the origination of 800 traffic between the interconnecting parties shall be based on the applicable access charges in accordance with FCC and Commission Rules and Regulations and consistent with the provisions of Part F of this Agreement.
37.3. INP is available in all Sprint service areas where LNP is not available. Once LNP is available, all INP arrangements will be converted to LNP. Where INP is available and a toll call is completed through Sprint’s INP arrangement (e.g., remote call forwarding) to CLEC’s subscriber, CLEC shall be entitled to applicable access charges in accordance with the FCC and Commission Rules and Regulations. If a national standard billing method has not been developed for a CLEC to directly xxxx x xxxxxxx access for a toll call that has been completed using interim number portability, then the INP Rate specific to Access Settlements in this Part C will be used.
37.3.1. The ported party shall charge the porting party on a per line basis using the INP Rate specific to Access Settlements in lieu of any other compensation charges for terminating such traffic. The traffic that is not identified as subject to INP will be compensated as local interconnection as set forth in § 37.1.
37.3.2. CLEC shall pay a transit rate, comprised of the transport and tandem rate elements, as set forth in Table 1 of this Part when CLEC uses a Sprint access tandem to terminate a local call to a third party LEC or another CLEC. Sprint shall pay CLEC a transit rate equal to the Sprint rate referenced above when Sprint uses a CLEC switch to terminate a local call to a third party LEC or another CLEC.
37.4. CLEC will identify the Percent Local Usage (PLU) factor on each interconnection order to identify its “Local Traffic,” as defined herein, for reciprocal compensation purposes. Sprint may request CLEC’s traffic study documentation of the PLU at any time to verify the factor, and may compare the documentation to studies developed by Sprint. Should the documentation indicate that the factor should be changed by Sprint, the Parties agree that any changes will only be retroactive to traffic for the previous 90 days. For non-local...
INTERCONNECTION AND RECIPROCAL COMPENSATION. 4.1 MCIm may choose to deliver both Local Traffic and toll traffic over the same trunk group(s), pursuant to the provisions of Attachment IV. In the event MCIm chooses to deliver both types of traffic over the same traffic exchange trunks, and desires application of the local call transport and termination rates, it will provide Percent Local Usage (“PLU”) information to Bell Atlantic as set forth in Attachment IV. In the event MCIm includes both interstate and intrastate toll traffic over the same trunk, it will provide Percent Interstate Usage (“PIU”) to Bell Atlantic as set forth in Attachment IV. Bell Atlantic shall have the same options, and to the extent it avails itself of them, the same obligation, to provide PIU and PLU information to MCIm. To the extent feasible, PLU and PIU information shall be based on the actual end-to-end jurisdictional nature of each call sent over the trunk. If actual PLU and PIU information cannot reasonably be determined, then the reporting Party shall estimate PLU and PIU, and, upon demand, explain the basis for the estimate. The basis for the PLU and PIU are subject to audits in accordance with the provisions of Part A.
4.2 Reciprocal Compensation for the exchange of Local Traffic is set forth in Table 1 of this Attachment and shall be assessed on a per minute-of-use basis for the transport and termination of such traffic.
4.3 MCIm may choose to establish trunking to any given End Office for calls to numbers served out of that End Office, when there is sufficient traffic to route calls directly to such End Office. If MCIm leases non-shared trunks from Bell Atlantic, MCIm will pay the transport charges for dedicated transport. For shared trunks the charges will be shared by both Parties in proportion to their respective use of the shared trunk facility.
4.4 When the Bell Atlantic Interconnection Point is at a Bell Atlantic Tandem Office Switch, MCIm shall pay Bell Atlantic the rates for Tandem Switching, a transport rate and a termination rate as set forth in Table 1. When the Bell Atlantic Interconnection Point is at the Bell Atlantic End Office, for calls terminating to Bell Atlantic subscribers served out of the End Office to which the traffic is delivered, MCIm will pay Bell Atlantic call termination compensation based on End Office termination only.
4.5 Bell Atlantic will pay MCIm a termination rate for termination of traffic at an MCIm switch based upon the average rate paid by MCIm to Bell Atlantic during the prio...
INTERCONNECTION AND RECIPROCAL COMPENSATION. 4.1 AT&T may choose to deliver both Local Traffic and toll traffic over the same trunk group(s), pursuant to the provisions of Attachment 15. In the event AT&T chooses to deliver both types of traffic over the same traffic exchange trunks, and desires application of the local call transport and termination rates, it will provide Percent Local Usage (“PLU”) information to BA as set forth in Attachment 15. In the event AT&T includes both interstate and intrastate toll traffic over the same trunk, it will provide Percent Interstate Usage (“PIU”) to BA as set forth in Attachment 15. BA shall have the same options, and to the extent it avails itself of them, the same obligation, to provide PIU and PLU information to AT&T.
4.2 Compensation for the exchange of Local Traffic is set forth in Table 1 of this Attachment and shall be assessed on a per minute-of-use basis for the transport and termination of such traffic.
4.3 When the Interconnection is at a BA tandem office switch, AT&T shall pay BA the rates for Tandem Termination as set forth in Table 1. BA will pay AT&T a reciprocal and symmetrical compensation rate for the termination of traffic at an AT&T tandem switch, or for the termination of traffic at AT&T’s single combined Class 4/Class 5 switch, for as long as AT&T maintains a single level switching and interconnection point hierarchy. Thereafter, the pricing in Section 4.5.1 below shall apply. When the Interconnection is at an AT&T collocated remote switching module, BA shall pay AT&T the End Office Termination rate as set forth in Table 1.
4.4 AT&T may choose to establish trunking to any given end office when there is sufficient Local Traffic to route calls directly to such end office. If AT&T leases non-shared trunks from BA, AT&T will pay the transport charges for dedicated transport. To the extent shared trunks are used, the charges will be shared by both Parties in proportion to their respective use of the shared trunk facility as mutually agreed for each trunking facility.
4.5 When the interconnection is at the BA end office, BA will pay AT&T compensation based on Tandem Termination when BA originated calls are terminated to AT&T’s subscribers through the termination of traffic at an AT&T tandem switch, or through the termination of traffic at AT&T’s single combined Class 4/Class 5 switch for as long as AT&T maintains a single level switching and interconnection point hierarchy. Thereafter, the pricing in Section 4.5.1 below shall apply. For calls o...
