LOCAL INTERCONNECTION TRUNK ARRANGEMENT. 55.1. The Parties shall reciprocally terminate Local Traffic and IntraLATA/InterLATA toll calls originating on the other Party’s network as follows:
55.1.1. With respect to any new trunking arrangements that are established after the Effective Date of this Agreement, the Parties agree to use and shall make available to each other bi-directional trunks for the reciprocal exchange of combined Local Traffic, and non-equal access IntraLATA toll traffic, subject to any engineering, billing or other constraints.
55.1.2. With respect to any two-way trunks (one-way trunks directionalized in each direction) and one-way trunks for local services previously established between the Parties, the Parties will transition such trunks to bi-directional trunks in accordance with the following:
(a) The Parties understand that conversion of trunking arrangements from directionalized to bi-directional requires technical and operational coordination between the Parties. Accordingly, the Parties agree to work together to develop a plan, to identify processes, guidelines, specifications, time frames and additional terms and conditions necessary to support and satisfy the standards set forth in the Agreement and implement the conversion of trunking arrangements (the “Conversion Plan”);
(b) The Conversion Plan will identify all trunks to be converted from directionalized to bi-directional arrangements. CLEC agrees that the trunks which shall be converted will include end office two-way trunks (one-way trunks directionalized in each direction) and one-way trunks for local services which subtend a tandem and will also include tandem two- way trunks (one-way trunks directionalized in each direction) and one- way trunks for local services.
(c) In addition to applicable tariff/contract rates, CLEC agrees to pay the conversion charges listed in Table 1 to compensate Embarq for the labor involved in the conversion

LOCAL INTERCONNECTION TRUNK ARRANGEMENT. The Parties shall establish two-way (bi-directional) trunks for the reciprocal exchange of combined Local Traffic, Transit Traffic, Local ISP-Bound Traffic, IntraLATA Toll VoIP-PSTN Traffic and IntraLATA toll traffic which is not routed to an IXC and separate two-way trunk groups for jointly provided switched access (as defined by MECAB and MECOD). The Parties shall use separate two-way Feature Group D trunks for any other traffic exchanged in TDM format by the Parties, except as provided in Section 55.1.5 of the Agreement, and such trunks shall be ordered out of and subject to the applicable access tariffs. In the event a Party routes any traffic to the other Party in violation of this section, that other Party shall be entitled to invoke the dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement, which may include seeking injunctive relief and recovering damages, including without limitation, compensation for such traffic at the rates applicable to intrastate access traffic which is not VoIP-PSTN Traffic.
LOCAL INTERCONNECTION TRUNK ARRANGEMENT.

LOCAL INTERCONNECTION TRUNK ARRANGEMENT. 1.1 The Parties shall terminate Local Traffic and IntraLATA/InterLATA toll calls originating on each other’s networks as follows:
1.1.1 Initially, the Parties shall make available to each other two-way trunks, to be used one-way, for the reciprocal exchange of combined Local Traffic, non-equal access IntraLATA toll traffic, and local transit traffic to other ILECs. In future joint planning meetings, where mutually agreed, the Parties may combine these trunk groups on a single shared two-way trunk group.
1.1.2 At Sprint’s request, BA shall also provide a single trunk group provisioned to carry local, IntraLATA toll and InterLATA traffic, or separate trunk groups for IntraLATA (including local) and InterLATA traffic. At BA’s request, Sprint shall also provide a single trunk group provisioned to carry local, IntraLATA toll and InterLATA traffic, or separate trunk groups for IntraLATA (including local) and InterLATA traffic.
