Local Calls definition

Local Calls for purposes of intercarrier compensation, is traffic where all calls are within the same common local and common mandatory local calling area, i.e., within the same or different SBC Exchange(s) that participate in the same common local mandatory local calling area approved by the applicable state Commission. Local Calls must actually originate and actually terminate to parties physically located within the same common local or common mandatory local calling area.

Local Calls means calls that originate and terminate within the Local Calling Area as defined in the Qwest tariff. Qwest will provide service control points in the same manner, and via the same signaling links, as Qwest uses such service control points and signaling links to provide service to its End User Customers served by that switch. Qwest's call related databases include the Line Information Database (LIDB), Internetwork Calling Name Database (ICNAM), 8XX Database for toll free calling, AIN Databases, and Local Number Portability Database. CLEC will not have access to Qwest's AIN-based services that qualify for proprietary treatment, except as expressly provided for in the Agreement or this Attachment. Local Switching does not include use of Qwest's signaling network for Toll Traffic. “Toll Traffic” and “Toll Calls” means intra local access and transport area (“LATA”) or interLATA calls that originate and terminate outside of the Local Calling Area as defined in the Qwest tariff. For all Toll Traffic originated by or terminated to CLEC’s QLSP End User Customer, Qwest may xxxx applicable tariff charges, including SS7 message charges [ISDN User Part (ISUP) and Transaction Capabilities Application Part (TCAP)], to the Interexchange Carrier (IXC) or other wholesale SS7 provider.

Local Calls for the purpose of reciprocal compensation, are Authorized Services Completed Calls that originate on either Party’s network, that terminate on the other Party's network, that are exchanged directly or indirectly between the Parties and that, at the beginning of the call, originate and terminate within the same MTA.
