Virtual Point of Interconnection. The CLEC must establish a Virtual POI within each of Sprint’s local calling areas, different from the local calling area where the Physical POI resides, for those local calling areas in which the CLEC wants to receive local calls. CLEC will compensate Sprint for transport from the Virtual POI to the Physical POI at TELRIC based rates. If the local calling area is served by a Remote Switch Sprint will charge CLEC for unbundled transport between the host Central Office Switch and the Remote Switch at TELRIC based transport rates based on the volume of traffic between the host and remote.
Virtual Point of Interconnection. The CLEC must establish a Virtual POI within each of Sprint’s local calling areas which are different from the local calling area where the Physical POI resides, for those local calling areas in which the CLEC wants to receive local calls. CLEC shall not be required to establish more than one POI (Physical or Virtual) per Sprint local calling area. CLEC is not required to collocate in an end office designated as a Virtual POI. CLEC may lease undbundled dedicated transport from Sprint between Physical and Virtual POIs. The charges from the Physical POI to the Virtual POI are separate and distinct from the reciprocal compensation rates for the transport of traffic, and unbundled dedicated transport charges will not recover the same underlying costs. Sprint may, at its sole discretion, waive the requirements of this §58.2.2. in order to accommodate unique switching and interconnection arrangements between the Parties.
