Local Traffic. Traffic that is originated by a Customer of one Party on that Party’s network and terminates to a Customer of the other Party on that other Party’s network within Verizon's then current local calling area (including non-optional local calling scope arrangements) as defined in Verizon’s effective Customer Tariffs. A non- optional local calling scope arrangement is an arrangement that provides Customers a local calling scope (Extended Area Service, “EAS”), beyond their basic exchange serving area. Local Traffic does not include optional local calling scope traffic (i.e., traffic that under an optional rate package chosen by the Customer terminates outside of the Customer’s basic exchange serving area). IntraLATA calls originated on a 1+ presubscription basis, or on a casual dialed (10XXX/101XXXX) basis are not considered Local Traffic. Local Traffic does not include any Internet Traffic.
Local Traffic. Traffic that is originated by an end user of one Party and terminates to the end user of the other Party within GTE's then current local serving area, including mandatory local calling scope arrangements. A mandatory local calling scope arrangement is an arrangement that provides end users a local calling scope, Extended Area Service (EAS), beyond their basic exchange serving area. Local Traffic does not include optional local calling scopes (i.e., optional rate packages that permit the end user to choose a local calling scope beyond their basic exchange serving area for an additional fee), referred to hereafter as "optional EAS". Local Traffic excludes Enhanced Service Provider (ESP) and Internet Service Provider (ISP) traffic , including but not limited to Internet, 900-976, etc., and Internet Protocol based long distance telephony.
Local Traffic. Local Traffic shall be as defined in Part B of the General Terms and Conditions of this Agreement. All other traffic that originates and terminates between end users within a LATA boundary is toll traffic. In no event shall the Local Traffic area for purposes of local call termination billing between the parties be decreased. No party shall represent Exchange Access traffic nor ESP nor Information Service Provider traffic as Local Traffic.
Local Traffic. For purposes of Article V of this Agreement, Local Traffic is traffic (excluding CMRS traffic) that is originated and terminated within the CenturyLink Local Calling Area, or mandatory Extended Area Service (EAS) area, as defined in CenturyLink’s local exchange tariffs. Local Traffic does not include optional local calling (i.e., optional rate packages that permit the end-user to choose a Local Calling Area beyond the basic exchange serving area for an additional fee), referred to hereafter as “optional EAS”. Local Traffic includes Information Access Traffic to the extent that the end user and the ISP are physically located in the same CenturyLink Local Calling Area. Local Traffic includes IP-Enabled Traffic to the extent that the originating end user and the terminating end user are physically located in the same CenturyLink Local Calling Area.
Local Traffic. The Parties shall assume that Local Traffic and ISP Bound Traffic, as provided in Appendix C, routed over the direct Interconnection Facilities, originated by or terminating to the Parties’ end user customers is roughly balanced between the Parties unless traffic studies indicate otherwise. Accordingly, the Parties agree to use a Xxxx-and- Keep Arrangement with respect to termination of Local Traffic and ISP Bound Traffic routed over the Interconnection Facilities. Either Party may request that a traffic study be performed no more frequently than once every twelve months. Should such traffic study indicate, in the aggregate, that either Party is terminating more than sixty (60) percent of the Parties’ total terminated minutes, either Party may notify the other Party, as described in Section 15.9 of this Agreement. Upon receipt of such notice CENTURYLINK will provision direct ISP Bound Traffic trunks as provided in Section 4.3.2 or 4.2.4. If one Party is still terminating over sixty (60) percent of the remaining Local Traffic the Parties will xxxx each other for termination of Local Traffic at the rates as provided in Appendix B.I .
Local Traffic. Under this Agreement, Bill and Keep shall apply to the exchange of Local Traffic solely when such traffic terminates to the end users of one of the Parties (including wireless traffic of end user customers of Carrier’s wireless roaming partners). The transit rate shall apply to Transit Traffic.
Local Traffic. For purposes of compensation between the Parties, Local Traffic is GTE Traffic that terminates to Gulf Coast and Gulf Coast traffic that terminates to GTE, that is within GTE’s then current local serving area, including mandatory local calling scope arrangements. A mandatory local calling scope arrangement is an arrangement that provides End-Users a local calling scope, i.e. Extended Area Service (EAS), beyond their basic exchange serving area. The Parties agree that the points of call origination and termination shall be used to determine Local Traffic, and agree to use the Rate Center assignments of the calling and called NPA/NXX’s as shown in the LERG to make such determination. Local Traffic does not include optional local calling scopes, i.e. optional rate packages that permit the End-User to choose a local calling scope beyond their basic exchange serving area for an additional fee, referred to hereafter as "optional EAS". Local Traffic does not include Enhanced Service Provider (ESP) and Internet Service Provider (ISP) traffic, in addition to, but not limited to, it excludes Internet traffic, 900/976, etc., and Internet Protocol (IP) based voice or fax telephony.
Local Traffic. For purposes of compensation between the Parties, Local Traffic is VERIZON Traffic that terminates to SPRINT and SPRINT traffic that terminates to VERIZON, that is within VERIZON’s then current local serving area, including mandatory local calling scope arrangements. A mandatory local calling scope arrangement is an arrangement that provides End-Users a local calling scope, i.e. Extended Area Service (EAS), beyond their basic exchange serving area. The Parties agree that the points of call origination and termination shall be used to determine Local Traffic, and agree to use the Rate Center assignments of the calling and called NPA/NXX’s as shown in the LERG to make such determination. Local Traffic does not include optional local calling scopes, i.e. optional rate packages that permit the End-User to choose a local calling scope beyond their basic exchange serving area for an additional fee, referred to hereafter as "optional EAS". Unless and until the Commission rules differently in Docket No. 00-00-000, Local Traffic does not include Enhanced Service Provider (ESP) and Internet Service Provider (ISP) traffic, in addition to, but not limited to, it excludes Internet traffic, 900/976, etc., and Internet Protocol (IP) based voice or fax telephony.
Local Traffic. Refers to calls originated by one Party’s End Users and terminated to the other Party’s End Users within the local exchange area or extended area service toll- free calling area as defined in Frontier’s tariffs. Local calls must be actually originated by and actually terminated to parties physically located within the same local calling area regardless of the NXX assigned to the calling and called parties.
Local Traffic. The Parties shall assume that Local Traffic and ISP Bound Traffic routed over the direct Interconnection Facilities, originated by or terminating to the Parties’ end user customers is roughly balanced between the Parties unless traffic studies indicate otherwise. Accordingly, the Parties agree to use a Xxxx-and-Keep Arrangement with respect to termination of Local Traffic and ISP Bound Traffic routed over the Interconnection Facilities. Either Party may request that a traffic study be performed no more frequently than once every twelve months. Should such traffic study indicate, in the aggregate, that either Party is terminating more than sixty (60) percent of the Parties’ total terminated minutes, either Party may notify the other Party, as described in Section 15.9 of this Agreement and request that the Parties renegotiate the Xxxx-and-Keep Arrangements reflected herein and trunking. Upon receipt of such notice and mutual agreement of the Parties, LEVEL 3 will provision direct ISP Bound Traffic Trunks as provided in Section 4.3.2.
