2.4.15 Buckeye will route its traffic, or traffic belonging to its Interconnected VoIP Provider Customers, to Frontier Verizon over the End Office and Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunks in accordance with SR-TAP-000191, including but not limited to those standards requiring that a call from Onvoy Buckeye to a Frontier Verizon End Office will first be routed to the End Office Interconnection Trunk group between Onvoy Buckeye and the Frontier Verizon End Office.
2.4.16 When the Parties implement Two-Way Interconnection Trunks, the Parties will work cooperatively to calculate a Proportionate Percentage of Use (“PPU”) factor for each facility on which the Two-Way Interconnection Trunks ride, based on the total number of minutes of traffic that each Party sends over the Two-Way Interconnection Trunks riding on that facility. Buckeye will pay a percentage of Verizon’s monthly recurring charges for each facility on which the Two-Way Interconnection Trunks ride equal to Buckeye’s percentage of use of that facility as shown by the PPU. The PPU shall not be applied to calculate the charges for any portion of a facility that is on Buckeye’s side of Buckeye’s-IP, which charges shall be solely the financial responsibility of Buckeye. During the first full calendar quarter (and any partial calendar quarter preceding such first full calendar quarter) after the first Two-Way Interconnection Trunk is established on a facility, the PPU for that facility will be fifty percent (50%) for each Party. For each calendar quarter thereafter, the Parties shall recalculate the PPU using actual traffic usage data for the preceding calendar quarter. Non-recurring charges for the facility on which the Two-Way Interconnection Trunks ride shall be apportioned as follows: (a) for the portion of the facility on Verizon’s side of the Buckeye-IP, Buckeye shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the Verizon non-recurring charges; and, (b) for the portion of the facility on Buckeye’s side of the Buckeye- IP, Buckeye shall be solely responsible for the non-recurring charges. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4.16, if Buckeye fails to provide Buckeye-IPs in accordance with this Agreement, Buckeye will be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of all recurring and non-recurring charges associated with Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups until Buckeye establishes such Buckeye-IPs.

Either Party may disconnect End Office Two-Way Interconnection Trunks that, based on reasonable engineering criteria and capacity constraints, are not warranted by the actual traffic volume experienced.
2.4.8 Meet Point B Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups that connect to a Frontier Verizon access Tandem shall be engineered using a design blocking objective of Xxxx- Xxxx-Xxxxxxxxx X.005 B.005 during the average time consistent busy hour. Meet Point B Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups that connect to a Frontier Verizon local Tandem shall be engineered using a design blocking objective of Xxxx-Xxxxxxxxx B.01 during the average time consistent busy hour. Frontier Verizon and Onvoy MMG shall engineer Two-Way Interconnection Trunks using Telcordia Notes on the Networks SR 2275 (formerly known as BOC Notes on the LEC Networks SR-TSV-002275TSV- 002275).
2.4.9 The performance standard for final Meet Point B Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups shall be that no such Interconnection Trunk group will exceed its design blocking objective (B.005 or B.01, as applicable) for three (3) consecutive calendar traffic study months.
2.4.10 Onvoy MMG shall determine and order the number of Two-Way Interconnection Trunks that are required to meet the applicable design blocking objective for all traffic carried on each Two-Way Interconnection Trunk group. Onvoy MMG shall order Two-Way Interconnection Trunks by submitting ASRs to Frontier Verizon setting forth the number of Two-Way Interconnection Trunks to be installed and the requested installation dates within FrontierVerizon’s effective standard intervals or negotiated intervals, as appropriate. Onvoy MMG shall complete ASRs in accordance with OBF Guidelines as in effect from time to time.
2.4.11 Frontier Verizon may (but shall not be obligated to) monitor Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups using service results for the applicable design blocking objective. If Frontier observes blocking in excess of the applicable design objective on any Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunk group and Onvoy has not notified Frontier that it has corrected such blocking, Frontier may submit to Onvoy a Trunk Group Service Request directing Onvoy to remedy the blocking. Upon receipt of a Trunk Group Service Request, Onvoy will complete an ASR to establish or augment the End Office Two-Way Interconnection Trunk group(s), or, if mutually agreed, to augment the Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunk group with excessive blocking and submit the ASR to Frontier within five (5) Business Days.applicable
2.4.12 The Parties will review all Tandem Meet Point B Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups that reach a utilization level of seventy percent (70%), or greater, to determine whether those groups should be augmented. Onvoy MMG will promptly augment all Tandem Meet Point B Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups that reach a utilization level of eighty percent (80%) by submitting ASRs for additional trunks sufficient to attain a utilization level of approximately seventy percent (70%), unless the Parties agree that additional trunking is not required. For each Tandem Meet Point B Two- Way Interconnection Trunk group with a utilization level of less than sixty percent (60%), unless the Parties agree otherwise, Onvoy MMG will promptly submit ASRs to disconnect a sufficient number of Interconnection Trunks to attain a utilization level of approximately sixty percent (60%) for each respective group, unless the Parties agree that the Two-Way Interconnection Trunks should not be disconnected. In the event Onvoy MMG fails to submit an ASR for Two-Way Interconnection Trunks in conformance with this Section, Frontier Verizon may disconnect the excess Interconnection Trunks or bill xxxx (and Onvoy MMG shall pay) for the excess Interconnection Trunks at the applicable Frontier Verizon rates.
2.4.13 Because Frontier Verizon will not be in control of when and how many Two-Two- Way Interconnection Trunks are established between its network and OnvoyMMG’s network, FrontierVerizon’s performance in connection with these Two-Two- Way Interconnection Trunk groups shall not be subject to any performance measurements and remedies under this Agreement, and, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law, under any FCC or Commission approved carrier- carrier-to-carrier performance assurance guidelines or plan.
2.4.14 Onvoy MMG will route its traffic, or traffic belonging to its Interconnected VoIP Provider Customers, to Frontier Verizon over the End Office and Tandem Meet Point A and/or Meet Point B Two-Way Interconnection Trunks in accordance with SR-TAP-000191TAP- 000191, including but not limited to those standards requiring that a call from Onvoy MMG to a Frontier Verizon End Office will first be routed to the End Office Meet Point A Interconnection Trunk group between Onvoy MMG and the Frontier Verizon End Office.
3.1.1 Either Party may request a Fiber Meet arrangement by providing written notice thereof to the other Party; provided, however, that a Party may not make such a request if the Parties have not consistently been exchanging an amount of applicable traffic (as set forth in Section 3.1.3 below) equal to at least one (1) DS-3. Any such Fiber Meet arrangement shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement. In addition, the establishment of any Fiber Meet arrangement is expressly conditioned upon the Parties' mutually agreeing to the technical specifications and requirements for such Fiber Meet arrangement including, but not limited to, the location of the Fiber Meet points, routing, equipment (e.g., specifications of Add/Drop Multiplexers, number of strands of fiber, etc.), software, ordering, provisioning, maintenance, repair, testing, augment and on any other technical specifications or requirements necessary to implement the Fiber Meet arrangement. For each Fiber Meet arrangement the Parties agree to implement, the Parties will complete and sign a Technical Specifications and Requirements document, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A to Section 2.4.14 of the Interconnection Attachment Fiber Meet Arrangement Provisions. Each such document will be treated as confidential information.
3.1.2 The Parties agree to consider the possibility of using existing fiber cable with spare capacity, where available, to implement any such request for a Fiber Meet arrangement. If existing fiber cable with spare capacity is not available, the Parties agree to minimize the construction and deployment of fiber cable necessary for any Fiber Meet arrangement to which they agree. Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties, any and all Fiber Meet points established between the Parties shall extend no further than three (3) miles from an applicable Verizon Wire Center and Verizon shall not be required to construct or deploy more than five hundred (500) feet of fiber cable for a Fiber Meet arrangement.
3.1.3 Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties, any Fiber Meet arrangements established under this Agreement shall be used only for the transmission and routing of Reciprocal Compensation Traffic, translated LEC IntraLATA toll free service access code (e.g., 800/888/877) traffic, and IntraLATA toll traffic, between their respective Telephone Exchange Service Customers, Tandem Transit Traffic, and Measured Internet Traffic, all in accordance with this Agreement. Operator services/directory assistance traffic, 911 traffic, and Exchange Access traffic, including translated InterLATA toll free service access code (e.g., 800/888/877) traffic, between MMG Telephone Exchange Service Customers and purchasers of Switched Exchange Access Service via a Verizon access Tandem, may be exchanged over Fiber Meet arrangements subject to applicable Verizon Tariff rates and charges. Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties, point-to-point (i.e., unswitched) access services and unbundled network elements shall not be provisioned on or accessed through Fiber Meet arrangements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise, other than the obligation to pay any applicable intercarrier compensation charges pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, neither Party shall have any obligation to pay the other Party any charges in connection with any Fiber Meet arrangements established under this Agreement.
3.1.4 MMG will include traffic to be exchanged over Fiber Meet arrangements in its forecasts provided to Verizon under this Agreement.
