Network Interconnection. 3.1 This Attachment pertains only to the provision of network interconnection where ComSouth owns, leases from a third party or otherwise provides its own switch(es).
3.2 Network interconnection may be provided by the Parties at any technically feasible point within BellSouth’s network. Requests to BellSouth for interconnection at points other than as set forth in this Attachment may be made through the Bona Fide Request/New Business Request (BFR/NBR) Process set forth in Attachment 11.
3.2.1 Each Party is responsible for providing, engineering and maintaining the network on its side of the IP. The IP must be located within BellSouth’s serving territory in the LATA in which traffic is originating. The IP determines the point at which the originating Party shall pay the terminating Party for the Call Transport and Termination of Local Traffic, ISP-Bound Traffic and IntraLATA Toll Traffic. In selecting the IP, both Parties will act in good faith and select the point that is most efficient for both Parties.
3.2.2 Pursuant to the provisions of this Attachment, the location of the initial IP in a given LATA shall be established by mutual agreement of the Parties. Subject to the requirements for installing additional IPs, as set forth below, any IPs existing prior to the Effective Date of the Agreement will be accepted as initial IPs and will not require re-grooming. When the Parties mutually agree to utilize two-way interconnection trunk groups for the exchange of Local Traffic, ISP-Bound Traffic and IntraLATA Toll Traffic between each other, the Parties shall mutually agree to the location of IP(s). If the Parties are unable to agree to a mutual initial IP, each Party, as originating Party, shall establish a single IP in the LATA for the delivery of its originated Local Traffic, ISP-Bound Traffic and IntraLATA Toll Traffic to the other Party for Call Transport and Termination by the terminating Party.
3.2.3 Additional IP(s) in a LATA may be established by mutual agreement of the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, additional IP(s) in a particular LATA shall be established, at the request of either Party, when the Local Traffic and ISP-Bound Traffic exceeds eight point nine (8.9) million minutes per month for three (3) consecutive months at the proposed location of the additional IP. BellSouth will not request the establishment of an IP in a BellSouth Central Office where physical or virtual collocation space is not available or where BellSouth fiber connec...
