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.
Requirements to Physically Interconnect. 3.3.1 This Section describes the Parties’ physical interconnection and trunking requirements for a Facility-Based CLEC that wishes 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 (POI) 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) within 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-, 0+, 411, 1411, 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-, 0+, 411, 1411, 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 only OS, or only 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(s). 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.
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 segregated one-way trunk group utilizing Multi-Frequency (MF) signaling. Unless technically infeasible, AT&T-21STATE will provision all such one-way trunk groups in the same manner and at the same intervals as for all other interconnection trunks between the Parties.
3.3.5.2 CLEC will employ Exchange Access...
Requirements to Physically Interconnect. 2.9.12.3.a.1 This Section describes the Parties’ physical interconnection and trunking requirements for a Facility-Based CLEC that wishes to interconnect with AT&T-9STATE’s OS/DA switches The demarcation point for OS/DA traffic between the Parties’ networks need not coincide with the Point of Interconnection (POI) for the physical interconnection of all other Yes. The Agreement should include terms for interconnecting with AT&T’s Operator Services / Directory Assistance switches in the event the CLEC desires to utilize this service.
