2.2.2 A POI shall not be located across a LATA boundary, nor outside of AT&T-21STATE’s franchise service area, nor more than a distance of fourteen (14) miles from the AT&T-21STATE Central Office Switch where the Facility connection is established (or outside the state’s defined local calling area, whichever is greater). WSP is responsible for the cost of Trunks and Facilities beyond fourteen (14) miles (or outside the state’s defined local calling area, whichever is greater).
Network Interconnection Methods. 2.1 Upon request by MCIm, AT&T ILLINOIS shall provide interconnection for the facilities and equipment of MCIm with AT&T ILLINOIS’ network for the transmission and routing of Telephone Exchange Service and Exchange Access at any Technically Feasible POI inside the geographical areas in which AT&T ILLINOIS is the Incumbent LEC and within AT&T ILLINOIS' network. The interconnection must be at least equal in quality to that provided by AT&T ILLINOIS to itself or to any subsidiary, Affiliate, or any Third Party to which AT&T ILLINOIS provides Interconnection. AT&T ILLINOIS shall provide Interconnection on rates, terms and conditions that are just, reasonable and nondiscriminatory in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the requirements of the Act.
2.2 In accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, the Parties shall establish POI(s) at any Technically Feasible point inside the geographical areas in which AT&T ILLINOIS is the Incumbent LEC and within AT&T ILLINOIS' network by any Technically Feasible means established herein, including, but not limited to, a Fiber Meet.
2.3 If MCIm determines to establish new or change existing Interconnection arrangements with AT&T ILLINOIS, it will provide written notice of the need to establish or change such Interconnection to AT&T ILLINOIS. Upon receipt of MCIm’s notice to interconnect, the Parties shall within thirty (30) days or other mutually agreed to timeframe schedule a meeting to negotiate and mutually agree on the network architecture (including trunking). The Interconnection Activation date will be mutually agreed upon and will begin based on a reasonable schedule established at these meetings.
2.4 If either Party deploys additional Tandems and/or End Office switches in a LATA after the Effective Date or otherwise wishes to establish Interconnection with additional switches in such LATA, the Parties will work cooperatively to establish such Interconnection.
2.5 MCIm is solely responsible for the facilities that carry OS/DA, 911, and Meet-Point trunk groups.
2.6 The physical architecture plan will, at a minimum, include the location of MCIm’s switch(es) and AT&T ILLINOIS’ End Office switch(es) and/or Tandem switch(es) to be interconnected, the facilities that will connect the two networks and which Party will provide (be financially responsible for) the Interconnection facilities.
2.7 The Parties will designate Points of Interconnection for demarcation of the Parties’ networks for p...
