The obligation to correctly route traffic also includes traffic that is destined to End Offices that do not subtend an AT&T-21STATE Tandem. Any compensation due AT&T-21STATE for such misrouted traffic shall be paid by OE-LEC. AT&T-21STATE shall provide notice to OE-LEC pursuant to the Notices provisions of this Agreement that such misrouting has occurred. In the notice, OE-LEC shall be given thirty (30) calendar days to cure such misrouting. 5.5.8 Neither Party shall deliver traffic destined to terminate at the other Party’s End Office via a Third Party ILEC’s End Office or Tandem. 5.5.9 Connection of a trunk group from OE-LEC to AT&T-21STATE’s Tandem(s) will provide OE-LEC access to End Offices, IXCs, LECs, CMRS providers and NXXs which subtend that Tandem(s). Connection of a trunk group from one Party to the other Party’s End Office(s) will provide the connecting Party access only to the NXXs served by that individual End Office(s) to which the connecting Party interconnects. Direct End Office Trunk groups that connect the Parties End Office(s) shall provide the Parties access only to the NXXs that are served by that End Office(s). 5.5.9.1 In AT&T SOUTHEAST REGION 9-STATE, if OE-LEC does not choose Access Tandem interconnection at every AT&T SOUTHEAST REGION 9-STATE Access Tandem within a LATA, OE-LEC must utilize AT&T SOUTHEAST REGION 9-STATE’s MTA Interconnection.

The obligation to correctly route traffic also includes traffic that is destined to End Offices that do not subtend an AT&T-21STATE Tandem. Any compensation due AT&T-21STATE for such misrouted traffic shall be paid by OE-LEC. AT&T-21STATE shall provide notice to OE-LEC pursuant to the Notices provisions of this Agreement that such misrouting has occurred. In the notice, OE-LEC shall be given thirty (30) calendar days to cure such misrouting. 5.5.8 Neither Party shall deliver traffic destined to terminate at the other Party’s End Office via a Third Party ILEC’s End Office or Tandem. 5.5.9 Connection of a trunk group from OE-LEC to AT&T-21STATE’s Tandem(s) will provide OE-LEC access to End Offices, IXCs, LECs, CMRS providers and NXXs which subtend that Tandem(s). Connection of a trunk group from one Party to the other Party’s End Office(s) will provide the connecting Party access only to the NXXs served by that individual End Office(s) to which the connecting Party interconnects. Direct End Office Trunk groups that connect the Parties End Office(s) shall provide the Parties access only to the NXXs that are served by that End Office(s). 5.5.9.1 In AT&T SOUTHEAST REGION 9-STATE, if OE-LEC does not choose Access Tandem interconnection at every AT&T SOUTHEAST REGION 9-STATE Access Tandem within a LATA, OE-LEC must utilize AT&T SOUTHEAST REGION 9-STATE’s MTA Interconnection. To utilize MTA, OE-LEC must establish an interconnection trunk group(s) at a minimum of one AT&T SOUTHEAST REGION 9-STATE Access Tandem within each LATA as required.
