Subject to any existing contractual obligations of Will▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ its Affiliates' with third parties, if an SBC Affiliate providing local exchange services (an "SBC ILEC") is available to provide local access (including switching and local transport), then in such SBC ILEC's territory: 3.8.1. SBC may designate its local access provider of choice for (i) any local access service used exclusively for traffic originated by SBC or its customers; or (ii) any trunk group carrying switched voice traffic where SBC (including its customers) provides 75% or more of the minutes of use carried by such trunk group. It is anticipated, but not required, that in the ordinary course SBC will designate the SBC ILEC for use by Will▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ long as such SBC ILEC has network capacity available. However, nothing herein shall in any way prevent SBC from designating another local access provider. 3.8.2. In all other circumstances Will▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ll use local access services provided by an SBC ILEC unless either (i) that ILEC's tariffed rate or other legally permissible price for such access product is greater than the Alliance Price for such access services; or (ii) the access service is used exclusively for traffic originated by a party other than SBC or its customers and that party specifically requests the use of another access provider. 3.8.3. Will▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇l enter into separately negotiated agreements with each SBC ILEC that, subject to all applicable regulatory requirements, will permit Will▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ meet its commitments hereunder.
