Interconnection Methods. There are two methods of interconnection available; direct interconnection and indirect interconnection.
2.1 Direct interconnection provides for network interconnection between the Parties through, including but not limited to, one or more of the following methods: 1) lease arrangements, and 2) jointly provisioned facilities arrangements.
2.1.1 If ICG’s end office or wire center is within ALLTEL’s local exchange boundary where direct interconnection is requested, either Party may lease from the other Party facilities between ALLTEL’s end office or wire center location and ICG end office or wire center location, subject to availability. Unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to different locations, ALLTEL’s IP will be located at ICG end office or wire center location and ICG’s IP will be located at the ALLTEL end office or wire center location. Lease arrangements will be governed by the applicable ALLTEL interstate, intrastate or local, special access or private line tariffs under which ICG orders service.
2.1.2 Jointly provisioned service arrangements provide for direct interconnection of the Parties networks at a point other than the ALLTEL and ICG end office or wire center and involve each Party’s partial provisioning of network facilities to interconnect the Parties networks (e.g., midspan fiber meet). Should the parities interconnect via jointly provisioned facilities, the Parties will mutually agree to an IP provided, however, that the IP will be within ALLTEL’s exchange boundary where direct interconnection is requested. Each Party is individually responsible for its costs incurred in establishing this arrangement.
2.2 Indirect interconnection provides for network interconnection between the Parties through a third party tandem provider performing a transit function. Under this arrangement, the originating Party has the responsibility to pay any applicable transit or tandem switched access fees and common transport associated with traffic exchanged between the Parties.
Interconnection Methods. There are two methods of interconnection available; direct interconnection and indirect interconnection. Direct interconnection provides for network interconnection between the Parties through, including but not limited to, one or more of the following methods: 1) lease arrangements, and 2) jointly provisioned facilities arrangements.
2.1.1 If LSP-PGNAPS’s end office or wire center is within ALLTEL’s local exchange boundary where direct interconnection is requested, either Party may lease from the other Party facilities between ALLTEL’s end office or wire center location and LSP-PGNAPS end office or wire center location, subject to availability. Unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to different locations, ALLTEL’s IP will be located at LSP-PGNAPS end office or wire center location and LSP-PGNAPS’s IP maywill be located at the ALLTEL end office or wire center location. Lease arrangements will be governed by the applicable ALLTEL interstate, intrastate or local, special access or private line tariffs under which LSP-PGNAPS orders service. GNAPs has the right to designate a single point of interconnection at any technically feasible point.
2.1.2 Jointly provisioned service arrangements provide for direct interconnection of the Parties networks at a point other than the ALLTEL and LSP-PGNAPS end office or wire center and involve each Party’s partial provisioning of network facilities to interconnect the Parties networks (e.g., midspan fiber meet). Should the parities interconnect via jointly provisioned facilities, GNAPs may designate the location of the GNAPs-Alltel interconnection points, but agrees to negotiate such interconnection point in good faith toward reaching mutual agreement on the Parties will mutually agree to an IP provided, however, that the IP will be within ALLTEL’s exchange boundary where direct interconnection is requested. Each Party is individually responsible for its costs incurred in establishing this arrangement.
Interconnection Methods. 4.2.1 TCG may specify any of the following methods for its originating traffic for Interconnection with Verizon:
4.2.1.1 A Collocation node TCG has established at a Verizon Wire Center pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement; and/or
4.2.1.2 A Collocation node that has been established separately at a Verizon Wire Center by a third party with whom TCG has contracted for such purposes; and/or
4.2.1.3 An Entrance Facility, where applicable, and transport (and any necessary multiplexing) leased from Verizon pursuant to the terms of Section 20 and Exhibit A, Section 1(A)(I)(3), from the TCG POI to the relevant Verizon tandem or end office; and/or
4.2.1.4 Intra-building Interconnection (utilizing intra-building cable) where both Parties have a switch or, in the case of TCG, a facility point of presence within a Verizon Wire Center building under a condominium arrangement between the Parties; and/or
4.2.1.5 To the extent required by Applicable Law and upon receipt of a written Bona Fide Request, Verizon will make available to TCG any other technically feasible method of interconnection.
4.2.2 Verizon may specify any of the following methods for its originating traffic for Interconnection with TCG:
4.2.2.1 Interconnection at a Collocation node that TCG has established at a Verizon Wire Center pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement, subject to reasonable forecasted capacity requirements of TCG (and, for the avoidance of any doubt, if such reasonable forecasted capacity requirements preclude Verizon from interconnecting with TCG at an TCG Collocation node at a Verizon Wire Center, Verizon may request a space license arrangement at an TCG premise pursuant to Section 4.2.2.3 below and in accordance with pricing set forth under Section 20.3 hereof); and/or
4.2.2.2 Interconnection at a Collocation node that has been established separately at a Verizon Wire Center by a third party and such third party has established facilities between the Verizon Wire Center and the relevant TCG switch; and/or
4.2.2.3 Via equipment Verizon places at the TCG premises in accordance with rates, terms and conditions of TCG’s effective Tariff, or if no such Tariff is available, in accordance with a mutually acceptable written agreement which the Parties shall promptly negotiate at Verizon’s request. The terms of any such agreement shall stipulate that it shall remain in effect only until TCG has an effective Tariff in place. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, if, within thirty (30...
Interconnection Methods. There are two methods of interconnection available; direct interconnection and indirect interconnection.
2.1 Direct interconnection provides for network interconnection between the Parties through, including but not limited to, one or more of the following methods: 1) lease arrangements, and 2) jointly provisioned facilities arrangements. The Parties shall designate an IP(s) within each Exchange area or tandem serving area (if applicable) to which each Party must bring its originating traffic for termination. Each Party will bear the full cost of bringing its originating traffic to the IP for termination
2.1.1 Where direct interconnection is requested in an ALLTEL Exchange or tandem serving area, Level 3 may lease from ALLTEL facilities between ALLTEL’s end office or wire center location in that Exchange or tandem serving area and Level 3’s point of presence (e.g., end office or wire center), subject to the applicable ALLTEL interstate, intrastate or local, special access or private line tariffs under which Level 3 orders service. Where ALLTEL does not have tandem capability (as defined in the LERG) in a serving area to connect multiple end offices, unless mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, the IP will be located at the Alltel end office or wire center location. Where ALLTEL has tandem capability (as defined in the LERG) in a serving area to connect multiple end offices, Level 3 shall establish an IP in each ALLTEL mandatory local calling area. In lieu of leasing facilities from ALLTEL, Level 3 may lease third-party facilities or provision its own facilities to interconnect with ALLTEL at the IP(s) required under this Section.
2.1.2 Jointly provisioned service arrangements provide for direct interconnection of the Parties networks at a point other than the ALLTEL and Level 3 end office or wire center and involve each Party’s partial provisioning of network facilities to interconnect the Parties networks (e.g., midspan fiber meet). Should the parities interconnect via jointly provisioned facilities, the Parties will mutually agree to an IP provided, however, that the IP will be within ALLTEL’s exchange boundary where direct interconnection is requested.
