Usage Measurement. Usage measurement for calls shall begin when answer supervision or equivalent Signaling System 7 (SS7) message is received from the terminating office and shall end at the time of call disconnect by the calling or called subscriber, whichever occurs first.
Usage Measurement. 59.1. Each Party shall calculate terminating interconnection minutes of use based on standard AMA recordings made within each Party’s network, these recordings being necessary for each Party to generate bills to the other Party. In the event either Party cannot measure minutes terminating on its network where technically feasible, the other Party shall provide the measuring mechanism or the Parties shall otherwise agree on an alternate arrangement.
59.2. Measurement of minutes of use over Local Interconnection trunk groups shall be in actual conversation seconds. The total conversation seconds over each individual Local Interconnection trunk group will be totaled for the entire monthly xxxx period and then rounded to the next whole minute.
59.3. Prior to the commencement of billing for interconnection, each Party shall provide to the other, the PLU of the traffic terminated to each other over the Local Interconnection trunk groups.
59.3.1. The Parties agree to review the accuracy of the PLU on a regular basis. If the initial PLU is determined to be inaccurate by more than twenty percent (20%), the Parties agree to implement the new PLU retroactively to the Effective Date of the contract.
Usage Measurement. 61.1. Each Party shall calculate terminating interconnection minutes of use based on standard AMA recordings made within each Party’s network, these recordings being necessary for each Party to generate bills to the other Party. In the event either Party cannot measure minutes terminating on its network where technically feasible, the other Party shall provide the measuring mechanism or the Parties shall otherwise agree on an alternate arrangement.
Usage Measurement. 64.1. Each Party shall calculate terminating interconnection minutes of use based on standard AMA recordings made within each Party’s network, these recordings being necessary for each Party to generate bills to the other Party. In the event either Party cannot measure minutes terminating on its network where technically feasible, the other Party shall provide the measuring mechanism or the Parties shall otherwise agree on an alternate arrangement.
64.2. Measurement of minutes of use over Local Interconnection trunk groups shall be in actual conversation seconds. The total conversation seconds over each individual Local Interconnection trunk group will be totaled for the entire monthly xxxx period and then rounded to the next whole minute.
64.3. Prior to the commencement of billing for interconnection, each Party shall provide to the other, the PLU of the traffic terminated to each other over the Local Interconnection trunk groups.
Usage Measurement. Usage measurement for calls shall begin when Answer Supervision or the equivalent Signaling System 7 (SS7) message is received from the terminating office and shall end at the time of call disconnect by the calling or called subscriber, whichever occurs first. Minutes of use (MOU), or fractions thereof, shall not be rounded upward on a per-call basis, but will be accumulated over the billing period. At the end of the billing period, any remaining fraction shall be rounded up to the nearest whole minute to arrive at total billable minutes for each interconnection. MOU shall be collected and measured in minutes, seconds, and tenths of seconds.

Usage Measurement. 14.1 When applicable, each Party shall provide to the other
14.1.1 Bellcore AMA formatted records to generate bills to the other Party;
14.1.2 measurement of minutes of use over Local Interconnection trunk groups in actual conversation seconds. The total conversation seconds over each individual Local Interconnection trunk group will be totaled for the entire monthly xxxx-round and then rounded to the next whole minute; and
14.1.3 within twenty (20) calendar days after the end of each quarter (commencing with the first full quarter after the Effective Date of this Agreement), a usage report with the total traffic volume described in terms of minutes and messages and by call type (i.e., local, toll, and other) terminated to each other over SS7 local interconnection trunk groups.
Usage Measurement. 7.1 Each Party shall calculate terminating interconnection minutes of use based on standard Automatic Message Accounting (“AMA”) recordings made within each Party’s network, these recordings being necessary for each Party to generate bills to the other Party.
7.2 Measurement of minutes of use over local interconnection trunk groups shall be in actual conversation seconds. The total conversation seconds over each individual local interconnection trunk group will be totaled for the entire monthly xxxx period and then rounded to the next whole minute. For billing purposes and to the extent technically feasible, each Party shall pass calling party number (“CPN”) information on each call carried over the traffic exchange trunks at such time as the originating switch is equipped for SS7 and from all switches no later than December 31, 1998. If it is not technically feasible for a Party to pass CPN on each call carried over the traffic exchange trunks, such Party shall pass other number information that is associated with the same Rate Center as the CPN for the call. At such time as either Party has the ability, as the Party receiving the traffic, to use such CPN information to classify on an automated basis traffic delivered by the other Party as either Local Traffic or toll traffic, such receiving Party shall xxxx the originating Party the Local Traffic termination rates, intrastate exchange access rates, intrastate/interstate transit traffic rates, or interstate exchange access rates applicable to each minute of traffic for which CPN is passed, as provided in Attachment 1 and applicable tariffs.
Usage Measurement. The Parties agree to measure, record and round terminating minutes of use (MOUs) for billing and reciprocal compensation between the Parties in the same manner. Terminating usage for individual calls shall be measured on Conversation Time, from Answer Supervision to Disconnect Supervision, and recorded to the nearest second. Terminating usage measured and recorded for individual calls shall be accumulated for the billing period with the total accumulated usage rounded up to the next full MOU to arrive at total billable MOUs for each interconnection. Rounding shall not occur for each individual call.
