Common use of Indirect Interconnection Clause in Contracts

Indirect Interconnection. Where a Consolidated end office subtends a nonConsolidated tandem and the Parties anticipate traffic exchanged between the Parties will be at a level that is de minimis, the Parties agree to indirectly interconnect through the use of a third party's transit service. At such time as the monthly two-way aggregate traffic exceeds the equivalent of a DS1 volume of traffic based on a six month rolling average (“Direct Connection Threshold”), a direct connection will be established pursuant to 3.4; provided however, if the Parties mutually agree that direct interconnection is undesirable, then the Parties shall continue to exchange traffic indirectly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Direct Connection Threshold is satisfied, if either Party desires direct interconnection, then direct interconnection shall be mandatory.
