Common use of Interconnection Points Clause in Contracts

Interconnection Points. Each Party shall establish Interconnection Points (“IPs”) at the available locations designated in Schedule 4.1, as amended from time to time. The IPs on the AT&T Broadband network from which AT&T Broadband will provide transport and termination of traffic to its Customers shall be designated as the AT&T Broadband Interconnection Points (“AT&T Broadband-IP(s)”). The IPs on the Verizon network from which Verizon will provide transport and termination of traffic to its Customers shall be designated as the Verizon Interconnection Point(s) (“Verizon-IP(s)”); provided that such Verizon-IP(s) shall be either the Verizon terminating End Office serving the Verizon Customer when AT&T Broadband delivers its traffic for termination at such terminating End Office or the Verizon Tandem subtended by the terminating End Office serving the Verizon Customer when AT&T Broadband delivers its traffic for termination at such Verizon Tandem. Each Party is responsible for delivering its terminating traffic to the IP of the other Party that is applicable to the traffic being terminated. Any additional traffic that is not covered in Schedule 4.2 shall be subject to separate negotiations between the Parties, except that either Party, without negotiations, may deliver traffic of any type or character to the other Party for termination as long as the delivering Party pays the receiving Party’s then current tariffed Switched Exchange Access rates applicable to such traffic, provided, however, that only those traffic types identified in Section 4.4.4 may be delivered over Mid-Span Fiber Meet arrangements.
