Common use of Multiple Tandem LATAs Clause in Contracts

Multiple Tandem LATAs. Where VERIZON has more than one Tandem in a LATA, IntraLATA Toll, and/or Local Traffic may be segregated on separate interconnection trunk groups, or may be combined on a single interconnection trunk group, as specified in Section 2.4.1, at every VERIZON tandem to terminate calls destined to or from all end offices and NXX’s which subtend each tandem. At Sprint’s option, pursuant to Section 2.3.2 of this Attachment, such interconnection trunk groups may interconnect at only one of the VERIZON Tandems in the LATA. In such case SPRINT may establish additional routing points through the establishment of trunk groups provisioned over dedicated facilities between the IP and additional VERIZON switches. SPRINT agrees to pay the appropriate facilities, switching, transport, and end-office termination charges to compensate VERIZON for terminating calls to all VERIZON subscribers in that LATA.
