Permanent Number Portability. The Parties shall migrate from RCF or DID to Permanent Number Portability as soon as practically possible but no later than the date provided for by the FCC. The Parties shall provide Permanent Number Portability on a reciprocal basis to each other in accordance with rules and regulations as from time to time prescribed by the FCC and/or the Commission.
Permanent Number Portability. The Parties shall migrate existing methods of providing INP to permanent Number Portability as soon as practically possible but no later than the date provided for by the FCC. Once permanent Number Portability is available in a given area, neither Party shall be required to provide INP in that area. The Parties shall provide permanent Number Portability on a reciprocal basis to each other in accordance with rules and regulations as from time to time prescribed by the FCC and/or the Commission.
Permanent Number Portability. The Parties shall migrate from RCF, DID, NXX Migration to Permanent Number Portability as soon as practically possible but no later than the date provided for by the FCC. The Parties shall provide Permanent Number Portability on a reciprocal basis to each other in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the FCC and/or the Commission. Both Sprint and CBT shall jointly cooperate to implement all applicable requirements for Permanent Number Portability as set forth in the Act, FCC rules and regulations, and the rules, regulations and orders of the Kentucky Public Service Commission.

Permanent Number Portability. 56 13.11 Requirements for INP and NP.....................................................58
Permanent Number Portability. 7.2.1. The Parties agree to implement PNP, in compliance with FCC or Commission orders, and pursuant to PUBL-780050 PB/NB, Pacific Xxxx Local Number Portability Network Interface Specification.
7.2.2. Both Parties agree to release ported telephone line numbers back to the original carrier assigned an NXX in the LERG when they "become vacant" (I.E., when they are no longer in service for the original customer), and any applicable referral/intercept period has expired. The Parties agree
7.2.3. Except as otherwise agreed to by the Parties, when a query is performed or required to be performed, each Party will arrange to perform its own queries for PNP calls when a LTNP database query is performed or required to be performed, each Party will perform queries on a N-1 basis, where N is the entity terminating the call to the end user. For interLATA carrier calls, the interLATA carrier will perform the query even if that carrier is also the carrier terminating the call to the end user. In keeping with the Network Reliability Council recommendations to protect general network failures from propagating from one network to another and in the case of failure in Pacific's or ACI's network which would prevent the querying of LTNP calls, the Party experiencing the failure will prevent the delivery of those unqueried calls to the other Party's network via default routing, except under prior agreement. Pacific and ACI reserve the right to block default routed calls incoming to its network in the event of a significant network failure in order to protect the public switched network from overload, congestion, or failure propagation.
7.2.4. Upon request, the porting party shall provide the ported-to Party with credit status data for the ported-to Party's subscribers whose numbers are porting.
7.2.5. Except as agreed herein, each Party shall recover its costs for PNP in accordance with FCC or Commission orders.
7.2.6. The Parties agree that Service Provider number portability using PNP is limited to Pacific's wire center boundaries. Users who change their physical address location within that wire center will be able to retain the porting of their existing telephone numbers.
Permanent Number Portability. The Parties shall migrate from RCF, DID, NXX Migration or another agreed-upon method to Permanent Number Portability as soon as practically possible but no later than the date provided for by the FCC. The Parties shall provide Permanent Number Portability on a reciprocal basis to each other in accordance with rules and regulations as from time to time prescribed by the FCC and/or the Commission. Number Portability (NP) shall include the following requirements:
XIII.10.1 Customers must be able to change local service providers and retain the same telephone number(s) consistent with FCC rules and regulations.
XIII.10.2 The NP network architecture shall not require either Party to rely on the network of the other Party for calls completing to its ported Customers.
XIII.10.3 When an office is equipped with NP, all NXXs in the office shall be defined as portable and translations will be changed in all service provider switches to open those NXXs for database queries. If a switch serves multiple Rate Centers, then, at a minimum, all of the NXXs for a Rate Center in that switch shall be made portable when any one of them is turned up.
XIII.10.4 Both Parties agree to implement Location Routing Numbers (LRN) as the Permanent Number Portability method, unless the Commission adopts a different Permanent Number Portability method consistent with FCC rules and regulations.
XIII.10.5 Processes and Procedures for the implementation of LRN or any other applicable Permanent Number Portability method shall be addressed by the Implementation Team, or any other body established by the Parties or the Commission for the purpose of addressing the implementation of Permanent Number Portability.
XIII.10.6 Subject to the terms of the initial reservation of numbers, when a Customer ports to another service provider and has previously secured a reservation of line numbers from the donor provider for possible activation at some future point, these reserved but inactive numbers shall "port" along with the active numbers being ported by the Customer in order to ensure that such Customer will be permitted to expand its service using the same number range it could use if it remained with the donor provider.
Permanent Number Portability. The Parties shall provide LNP via Permanent Number Portability (PNP). PNP shall be provided subject to all applicable technical standards, practices and procedures.
