These trunk groups shall be one-way except where two-way trunks have been mutually agreed and will utilize SS7 signaling. Where CLEC does not interconnect at every Access Tandem switch location in the LATA, CLEC must use Multiple Tandem Access (MTA) to route traffic to End Users through those Tandems within the LATA to which CLEC is not interconnected. To utilize MTA, CLEC must establish Local Interconnection Trunk Groups to a minimum of one (1) Access Tandem within each LATA as required. AT&T SOUTHEAST REGION 9-STATE will route CLEC originated 251(b)(5)/IntraLATA Toll traffic for LATA-wide transport and termination. Compensation for MTA is described in Section 6.4 below.
