Common use of Requirements to Physically Interconnect Clause in Contracts

Requirements to Physically Interconnect. 3.3.1 This Section describes the Parties’ physical interconnection and trunking requirements for a Facility-Based CLEC that wishes to interconnect with AT&T-21STATE’s OS/DA switches. 3.3.2 The demarcation point for OS/DA traffic between the Parties’ networks need not coincide with the Point of Interconnection (POI) for the physical interconnection of all other inter-carrier voice traffic, but at a minimum must be in the Local Access and Transport Area (LATA) within which the CLEC’s OS/DA traffic originates. 3.3.2.1 Because CLEC’s switch may serve End Users in more than one LATA, the Parties agree that CLEC’s OS/DA traffic originates from the physical location of the End User dialing 0-, 0+, 411, 1411, or 555-1212 and not the physical location of CLEC’s switch. 3.3.2.2 To the extent CLEC is serving via circuit-switched wireless technology, the physical location of the End User dialing 0-, 0+, 411, 1411, or 555-1212 shall be deemed the End User’s physical billing address, regardless of whether the End User may be roaming at the time of placing the OS/DA call. 3.3.3 The Parties will establish an OS/DA demarcation point at the AT&T-21STATE’s OS/DA switch. By mutual agreement, an alternative OS/DA demarcation point may be determined based on the following factors: 3.3.3.1 The size and type of facilities needed to carry CLEC’s switch-based OS/DA traffic; 3.3.3.2 Whether CLEC wishes to interconnect for only OS, or only DA, or both; 3.3.3.3 Whether CLEC or CLEC’s Affiliate is collocated in an AT&T-21STATE Local Tandem office and wishes to use the collocation as the OS/DA demarcation point; and
