Requirements to Physically Interconnect. 3.3.1 This section describes the physical interconnection and trunking requirements for a Facilities-Based CLEC to interconnect with AT&T-21STATE’s OS/DA switches. 3.3.2 The demarcation point for OS/DA traffic between the Parties’ networks need not coincide with the point of interconnection for the physical interconnection of all other inter-carrier voice traffic, but at a minimum must be in the Local Access and Transport Area (LATA) in which the CLEC’s OS/DA traffic originates. 3.3.2.1 Because CLEC’s switch may serve End Users in more than one LATA, the Parties agree that CLEC’s OS/DA traffic originates from the physical location of the End User dialing 0, 411, or 555- 1212 and not the physical location of CLEC’s switch. 3.3.2.2 To the extent CLEC is serving via circuit-switched wireless technology, the physical location of the End User dialing 0, 411, or 555-1212 shall be deemed the End User’s physical billing address, regardless of whether the End User may be roaming at the time of placing the OS/DA call. 3.3.3 The Parties will establish an OS/DA demarcation point at the AT&T-21STATE’s OS/DA switch. By mutual agreement, an alternative OS/DA demarcation point may be determined based on the following factors: 3.3.3.1 The size and type of facilities needed to carry CLEC’s switch-based OS/DA traffic; 3.3.3.2 Whether CLEC wishes to interconnect for OS or DA, or both; 3.3.3.3 Whether CLEC or CLEC’s Affiliate is collocated in an AT&T-21STATE local tandem office and wishes to use the collocation as the OS/DA demarcation point; and 3.3.3.4 Whether CLEC or CLEC’s Affiliate already has existing OS/DA facilities in place to the AT&T- 21STATE’s OS/DA platforms. 3.3.4 CLEC shall be financially responsible for the transport facilities to the AT&T-21STATE’s switch(es). CLEC may self-provision these OS/DA facilities, lease them from Third Parties, or lease them from AT&T- 21STATE’s intrastate Special Access Tariff. CLEC shall remain financially responsible for the transport facilities to the AT&T-21STATE’s switch(es) and/or any one-way trunk groups from its designated operator assistance and directory assistance (or OA/DA) switch to the AT&T-21STATE operator assistance switch until CLEC initiates and successfully disconnects such transport facilities and/or trunk groups. 3.3.5 General OS/DA Trunking Requirements: 3.3.5.1 CLEC will initiate an Access Service Request (ASR) for all OS/DA trunk groups from its switch to the appropriate AT&T-21STATE OS/DA switches as a segre...
