W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, BellSouth is an incumbent local exchange telecommunications
company authorized to provide telecommunications services in the states of
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, and Tennessee; and
WHEREAS, ITC/\DeltaCom is a competitive local exchange

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to interconnect their facilities, purchase
unbundled elements, and exchange traffic specifically for the purposes of
fulfilling their obligations pursuant to sections 251 and 252 of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 ("the Act").
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained
herein, BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom agree as follows:
1. TERM OF THE AGREEMENT
1.1 The term of this Agreement shall expire on December 31, 2002.
1.2 The Parties agree that by no later than one hundred and eighty (180)
days prior to the expiration of this Agreement, they shall commence
negotiations with regard to the terms, conditions and prices of local
interconnection to be effective beginning on the expiration date of this

satisfactorily negotiate new local Interconnection terms, conditions and
prices, either Party may petition the Commission to establish

ITC/\DeltaCom and ITC/\DeltaCom's end user customers over resold
services. If a dispute does arise that cannot be settled without the

user against any claim, loss or damage arising from providing
this information to ITC/\DeltaCom. It is the responsibility of

follows:
13.2.1 BellSouth reserves the right to suspend or terminate service
for nonpayment or in the event of prohibited, unlawful or

Tariffs.
13.2.2 If payment of account is not received by the xxxx xxx in the
month after the original xxxx xxx, BellSouth may provide
written notice to ITC/\DeltaCom, that additional applications
for service will be refused and that any pending orders for
service will not be completed if payment is not received by
the fifteenth day following the date of the notice. In
addition BellSouth may, at the same time, give thirty days
notice to the person designated by ITC/\DeltaCom to receive
notices of noncompliance, and discontinue the provision of
existing services to ITC/\DeltaCom at any time thereafter
subject to state and federal regulatory requirements.
13.3.3 In the case of such discontinuance, all billed charges, as
well as applicable termination charges, shall become due.
13.3.4 If BellSouth does not refuse additional applications for
service or discontinue the provision of services on the date
specified in the thirty day notice and ITC/\DeltaCom's
noncompliance continues, nothing contained herein shall
preclude BellSouth's right to refuse additional applications
for service and discontinue the provision of existing service
without further notice.
13.3.5 If payment is not received or arrangements made for payment by
the date given in the written notification, ITC/\DeltaCom's
services will be discontinued. Upon discontinuance of service
on a ITC/\DeltaCom account, service to ITC/\DeltaCom's end
users will be denied. BellSouth will also reestablish service
at the request of the end user or ITC/\DeltaCom upon payment
of the appropriate connection fee and subject to BellSouth's
normal application procedures. ITC/\DeltaCom is solely
responsible for notifying the end user of the proposed
disconnection of the service.

OPERATIONAL SUPPORT SYSTEMS (OSS) RATES
BellSouth has developed and made available the following mechanized systems by
which ITC/\DeltaCom may submit LSRs electronically.
LENS Local Exchange Navigation System
EDI Electronic Data Interchange
TAG Telecommunications Access Gateway
LSRs submitted by means of one of these interactive interfaces will incur an OSS
electronic ordering charge as specified in the Table below An individual LSR
will be identified for billing purposes by its Purchase Order Number (PON). LSRs
submitted by means other than one of these interactive interfaces (mail, fax,
courier, etc.) will incur a manual order charge as specified in the table below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USOC SOMEC XXXXX
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: IN ADDITION TO THE OSS CHARGES, APPLICABLE DISCOUNTED SERVICE ORDER AND
RELATED DISCOUNTED CHARGES APPLY PER THE TARIFF.
DENIAL/RESTORAL OSS CHARGE
In the event ITC/\DeltaCom provides a list of customers to be denied and
restored, rather than an LSR, each location on the list will require a separate
PON and, therefore will be billed as one LSR per location.
CANCELLATION OSS CHARGE
ITC/\DeltaCom will incur an OSS charge for an accepted LSR that is later
canceled by ITC/\DeltaCom.
Note: Supplements or clarfications to a previously billed LSR will not incur
another OSS charge.
THRESHOLD BILLING PLAN
EXHIBIT A
PAGE 3
Attachment 1
Page 12
The Parties agree that ITC/\DELTACOM will incur the mechanized rate for all
LSRs, both mechanized and manual, if the percentage of mechanized LSRs to total
LSRs meets or exceeds the threshold percentages shown below:
Year Ratio: Mechanized/Total LSRs
2000 80%
2001 90%
The threshold plan will be discontinued in 2002.
BellSouth will track the total LSR volume for each CLEC for each quarter. At the
end of that time period, a Percent Electronic LSR calculation will be made for
that quarter based on the LSR data tracked in the LCSC. If this percentage
exceeds the threshold volume, all of that CLECs' future manual LSRs will be
billed at the mechanized LSR rate. To allow time for obtaining and analyzing the
data and updating the billing system, this billing change will take place on the
first day of the second month following the end of the quarter (e.g. May 1 for
1Q, Aug 1 for 2Q, etc.). There will be no adjustments to the amount billed for
previously billed LSRs.

other legal action. In the event such new terms are not
renegotiated within ninety (90) days after the notice for
renegotiation, either party may petition the Commission for
resolution of the dispute between the Parties. Each Party
reserves the right to seek judicial review of any Commission
ruling concerning this Attachment.
1.6 Performance Measurements associated with this Attachment 2 are
contained in Attachment 10.
2. UNBUNDLED LOOPS
2.1 BellSouth agrees to offer access to unbundled loops pursuant
to the following terms and conditions and at the rates set
forth in this Attachment.
2.2 DEFINITION
2.2.1 The loop is the physical medium or functional path on which a
subscriber's traffic is carried from the MDF or similar
terminating device in a central office up to the termination
at the NID at the customer's premise. Each unbundled loop will
be provisioned with a NID.
2.2.2 The provisioning of loops to ITC/\DeltaCom will require
cross-office cabling and cross-connections within the central
office to connect the loop to a local switch or to other
transmission equipment in collocation space. These
cross-connects are a separate element and are not considered a
part of the loop.
2.2.2.1 BellSouth Order Coordination referenced in this Attachment
includes two types: "Order Coordination" and "Order
Coordination - Time Specific."
2.2.2.2 "Order Coordination" (also known as Manual Order Coordination)
refers to standard BellSouth service order coordination
involving SL2 and 4-wire voice loops and all digital loops.
Order coordination for physical conversions will be scheduled
at BellSouth's discretion during normal working hours on the
committed due date and ITC/\DeltaCom advised.
ATTACHMENT 2
PAGE 5
2.2.2.3 "Order Coordination - Time Specific" (also known as Order
Coordination - Time Specific) refers to service order
coordination in which ITC/\DeltaCom requests a specific time
for a service order conversion to take place. Loops on a
single service order of 14 or more loops will be provisioned
on a project basis. OC-TS is a chargeable option in addition
to any applicable OC charge. ITC/\DeltaCom may specify a time
between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. If
ITC/\DeltaCom specifies a time outside this window, or selects
a time or quantity of loops that requires BellSouth
technicians to work outside normal work hours, overtime
charges will apply in addition to the OC-TS charges.
2.2.2.4 Where facilities are available, BellSouth will install
unbundled loops within a 5-7 business days interval. For
orders of 14 or more unbundled loops, the installation will be
handled on a project basis and the intervals will be set by
the BellSouth project manager for that order. Said interval
will be set in a reasonable manner and in accordance with any
required extra work times. Some unbundled loops require a
Service Inquiry (SI) to determine if facilities are available
prior to issuing the order. The interval for the SI process is
separate from the installation interval. For expedite requests
by ITC/\DeltaCom, expedite charges will apply for intervals
less than 5 days. The charges outlined in XxxxXxxxx'x XXX # 0
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 5.1.1, will apply. If ITC/\DeltaCom cancels an
order for UNE services, any costs incurred by BellSouth in
conjunction with the provisioning of that order will be
recovered in accordance with FCC #1 Tariff, Section 5.4.
2.2.3 BellSouth will offer Unbundled Voice Loops (UVL) in two
different service levels - Service Level One (SL1) and Service
Level Two (SL2). SL1 loops will be non-designed, and will not
have test points. Order Coordination (OC) and/or engineering
information/circuit make-up data will be chargeable options.
Upon issuance of an order in the service order system, SL1
loops without optional Order Coordination will be activated on
the due date in the same manner and time frames that BellSouth
normally activates POTS-type loops for its customers;
provided, however, that for loop activation in BellSouth
staffed central offices, BellSouth will use its best efforts
to provide an a.m. or p.m. designation only where loop
activation requires dispatching of a BellSouth technician and
where ITC/\DeltaCom has specifically requested an a.m. or p.m.
preference for activation on the LSR. Further, for loop
activation in BellSouth central offices that are not staffed,
BellSouth will use its best efforts to provide an a.m. or p.m.
designation only where loop activation requires dispatching of
a BellSouth technician and where ITC/\DeltaCom has
specifically requested a.m. or p.m. preference for activation
on the LSR. SL2 loops shall have test points, will be designed
with a Design Layout Record provided to ITC/\DeltaCom, and
will be provided with Order Coordination. The OC feature will
allow ITC/\DeltaCom to coordinate the installation of the loop
with the disconnect of an existing customer's service and/or
number portability service. In these cases, BellSouth will
perform the order conversion with standard order coordination
at its discretion during normal work hours.
ATTACHMENT 2
PAGE 6
2.2.4 BellSouth will also offer Unbundled Digital Loops (UDL). They
will be designed (where appropriate), will be provisioned with
test points (where appropriate), and will come standard with
Order Coordination and a Design Layout Record (DLR).
2.2.5 As a chargeable option on all unbundled loops BellSouth will
offer Order Coordination - Time Specific (OC-TS). This will
allow ITC/\DeltaCom the ability to specify the time that the
coordinated conversion takes place.
2.2.6 ITC/\DeltaCom will be responsible for testing and isolating
troubles on the unbundled loops. Once ITC/\DeltaCom has
isolated a trouble to the BellSouth provided loop,
ITC/\DeltaCom will issue a trouble to BellSouth on the loop.
BellSouth will take the actions necessary to repair the loop
if a trouble actually exists. BellSouth will repair these
loops in the same time frames that BellSouth repairs similarly
situated loops to its customers
2.2.7 Either Party may charge the other for dispatching and testing
of a trouble where the trouble was found not to be in the
network of the dispatching or testing Party and the
dispatching or testing Party's equipment did not cause the
dispatch. Where there is a dispute as to the appropriateness
of such charge, the Parties will meet and review the record of
repair history and determine whether the charge was
appropriate. Charges so assessed by BellSouth shall be on a
time and materials basis as set forth in BellSouth's state
commission approved tariffs. Charges so assessed by
ITC/\DeltaCom shall be on a time and materials basis as set
forth in ITC/\DeltaCom's state commission approved tariffs. If
ITC/\DeltaCom does not have state commission approved tariffs
addressing such charges, then such charges shall be assessed
by ITC/\DeltaCom at the rates set forth in BellSouth's
tariffs. If the trouble which was originally found not to be
in the network of the dispatching or testing Party is later
proven to be a trouble in the dispatching or testing Party's
network, the dispatching or testing Party shall waive or
refund any such charges.
2.2.8 ORDERING PROCESS
2.2.8.1 The ordering process for unbundled loops shall proceed in
accordance with this Section 2.2.8 and Attachment 6 of this
Agreement.
2.2.8.2 BellSouth shall exercise its best efforts in attempting to
meet the conversion time ITC/\DeltaCom requests through the
LSR. However, unless ITC/\DeltaCom's LSR specifies a
time-specific conversion, in which case the conversion must
commence at the time indicated in the LSR, then within
forty-eight (48) to twenty-four (24) hours prior to the date
and time requested for the loop conversion in ITC/\DeltaCom's
LSR and acknowledged in BellSouth's FOC, BellSouth may contact
ITC/\DeltaCom, via telephone, to finalize a scheduled
conversion time (i.e., a specific time, on the date set forth
in the FOC) which may be different from the conversion time
ITC/\DeltaCom requested in the LSR. The scheduled
ATTACHMENT 2
PAGE 7
conversion time shall be the time at which the parties shall
commence coordination of loop installation with the disconnect
and reconnect of an end user's service and any number
portability update. BellSouth shall not assess any additional
charges for scheduled conversion times commencing between
BellSouth normal business hours as set forth in Section 4.6.1
of Attachment 6.
2.2.8.3 At the scheduled conversion time, BellSouth shall have a sixty
(60) minute window within which it shall contact ITC/\DeltaCom
to begin the loop conversion process. Provided, however, that
if ITC/\DeltaCom requested a time-specific conversion, the
conversion shall commence at the time indicated in
ITC/\DeltaCom's LSR and be completed consistently with
timeframes for time-specific conversions.
2.2.8.3.1 If either Party dispatches a technician for a loop conversion
and the other Party fails to complete the conversion at the
scheduled time, the non-performing Party may be charged the
one (1) hour additional engineering charges set forth in
BellSouth's FCC No. 1 tariff, Section 13.1.
2.2.8.4 After the loop conversion process commences, a coordinated
loop cutover, which shall include coordinated conversion of
number portability, shall be completed within the following
time periods:
2.2.8.4.1 For single loop conversions per location, the conversion shall
be completed within fifteen (15) minutes;
2.2.8.4.2 For up to ten (10) loop conversions per location, the
conversion of all loops shall be completed within sixty (60)
minutes, and each individual loop conversion shall be
completed within fifteen (15) minutes;
2.2.8.4.3 For loop conversions not exceeding thirty (30) loops per
location and not determined complex or exceptionally large,
the conversion of all loops shall be completed within one
hundred and twenty (120) minutes. All loops above a thirty
loop quantity, or ten (10) loop quantity and determined as
complex (a cut that requires more operation than a single cut
point), will be negotiated by ITC/\DeltaCom and BellSouth
prior to the due date.
2.2.8.4.4 BellSouth agrees that upon ITC/\DeltaCom's request, for order
coordinated loop cutovers involving three (3) or more lines,
at least two lines will remain in service at all times during
the conversion process.
2.2.8.5 Where facilities for requested new services do not currently
exist, the installation intervals will be determined by
BellSouth. ITC/\DeltaCom will then be notified of the targeted
due date. BellSouth shall provide ITC/\DeltaCom adequate
justification and an explanation of the unusual circumstances
that caused BellSouth to be unable to meet these commitments.

2.3 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
2.3.1 To the extent available within BST's Network at a particular
location, BellSouth will offer loops capable of supporting
telecommunications services such as: POTS, Centrex, basic rate
ISDN, analog PBX, voice grade private line, ADSL, HDSL, DS1
and digital data (up to 64 kb/s). Additional services may
include digital PBXs, primary rate ISDN, xDSL, and Nx 64 kb/s.
If a requested loop type is not available, then ITC/\DeltaCom
can use the Special Construction process to request that
BellSouth place facilities or otherwise modify facilities in
order to meet the ITC/\DeltaCom's request.
2.3.1.1 The loop will support the transmission, signaling, performance
and interface requirements of the services described in 2.3.1
above. It is recognized that the requirements of different
services are different, and that a number of types or grades
of loops are required to support these services. Services
provided over the loop by ITC/\DeltaCom will be consistent
with industry standards and BST's TR73600.
2.3.1.2 In some instances, ITC/\DeltaCom will require access to a
copper twisted pair loop unfettered by any intervening
equipment (e.g., filters, load coils, range extenders, etc.)
and/or limited amounts of bridge/end taps, so that
ITC/\DeltaCom can use the loop for a variety of services by
attaching appropriate terminal equipment at the ends.
ITC/\DeltaCom will determine the type of service that will be
provided over the loop. In some cases, ITC/\DeltaCom may be
required to pay additional charges for the removal of certain
types of equipment. Unless and until BellSouth implements a
separate charge for loop conditioning, BellSouth's Special
Construction process will be used to determine the costs and
feasibility of these activities. If ITC/\DeltaCom requests
loop conditioning as described in this Section, BellSouth will
construct the loop type ordered and will maintain such loop to
the characteristics and specifications of the loop type
ordered.
2.3.1.2.1 In cases in which ITC/\DeltaCom has requested that BellSouth
remove equipment from the BellSouth loop, BellSouth will no
longer be expected to maintain and repair the loop to the
standards specified for that original loop type in the TR73600
and other standards referenced in this Agreement.
2.3.1.2.2. ITC/\DeltaCom, in performance of its obligations pursuant to
the preceding Section, shall maintain records that will
reflect that pursuant to ITC/\DeltaCom's request BellSouth has
removed certain equipment from BellSouth provided loops and as
such, the loop may not perform within the technical
specifications associated with the original loop type.
ITC/\DeltaCom will not report to BellSouth troubles on said
loops where the loops are not performing within the technical
specifications of that original loop type. However, in the
event that
ATTACHMENT 2
PAGE 9
ITC/\DeltaCom has requested such modifications to the loop and
troubles arise on the modified loop, BellSouth will restore
the loop only to maintain the technical characteristics of (1)
electrical (DC) continuity, (2) balance between tip and ring,
and (3) resistance on loops no longer than 18,000 feet. On
loops longer than 18,000 feet, resistance will be maintained
where technically feasible.
2.3.1.2 In addition, ITC/\DeltaCom recognizes there may be instances,
where a loop modified in this manner may be subjected to
normal network configuration changes that may cause the
circuit characteristics to be changed and may create an outage
of the service that ITC/\DeltaCom has placed on the loop. If
this occurs, BellSouth will work cooperatively with
ITC/\DeltaCom to restore the circuit to its previous modified
status as quickly as possible. ITC/\DeltaCom will pay the Time
and Materials costs associated with BellSouth's work efforts
needed to bring the loop back to its previous modified status.
BellSouth will use best efforts to prevent the occurrence of
such changes.
2.3.1.3 To the extent BellSouth converts a resold service to unbundled
network elements for any telecommunications carrier, BellSouth
shall make available to ITC/\DeltaCom the same conversion for
the same services and elements on the same terms and
conditions and at the same rates, if any; provided, however
that the rate for such conversion shall not exceed those rates
set forth in Attachment 11 to this Agreement. The Parties
agree that such rates are interim and upon establishment of a
permanent rate, either through negotiation or by order of the
Commission, the parties will amend this Agreement to reflect
the new rate and will true up such rate retroactively back to
the effective date of this Agreement.
2.3.1.4 BellSouth shall develop a process to identify the carrier for
each unbundled loop and establish automated inter-company
referral and/or call hand-off processes for an additional
charge developed via the BFR process. In addition,
ITC/\DeltaCom may deploy DLC equipment (TR 303 compliant) in
ITC/\DeltaCom's collocation space or in ITC/\DeltaCom's
network.
2.3.2 The loop shall be provided to ITC/\DeltaCom in accordance with
the following Technical References:
BellSouth's TR73600, Unbundled Local Loop Technical
Specification

3. INTEGRATED DIGITAL LOOP CARRIERS
Consistent with the Commission's decision in Docket No.
990750-TP, BellSouth shall provide IDLC functionality to
ITC/\DeltaCom if it is within the existing functionality and
capacity of the serving switch. In addition, if it is within
the existing functionality and capacity of the serving switch,
BellSouth shall use a "side-door" method. If an unbundled loop
using IDLC technology is not within the existing functionality
and capacity of the serving switch, ITC/\DeltaCom may submit
its order for an unbundled loop using IDLC technology through
the BFR process.
4. NETWORK INTERFACE DEVICE
4.1 DEFINITION
The NID is defined as any means of interconnection of end-user
customer inside wire to BellSouth's distribution plant, such
as a cross-connect device used for that purpose. The NID is a
single-line termination device or that portion of a
multiple-line termination device required to terminate a
single line or circuit at the premises. The NID features two
independent xxxxxxxx or divisions that separate the service
provider's network from the End User's on-premises wiring.
Each chamber or division contains the appropriate connection
points or posts to which the service provider and the end user
each make their connections. The NID provides a protective
ground connection and is capable of terminating cables such as
twisted pair cable.
4.2 BellSouth shall permit ITC/\DeltaCom to connect
ITC/\DeltaCom's loop facilities the end-user's inside wire
through the BellSouth NID or at any other technically feasible
point.
4.3 ACCESS TO NETWORK INTERFACE DEVICE (NID)
4.3.1 Due to the wide variety of NIDs utilized by BellSouth (based
on subscriber size and environmental considerations),
ITC/\DeltaCom may access the end user's wire by any of the
following means: BellSouth shall allow ITC/\DeltaCom to
connect its loops directly to BellSouth's multi-line
residential NID enclosures that have additional space and are
not used by BellSouth or any other telecommunications carriers
to provide service to the premise. ITC/\DeltaCom agrees to
install compatible protectors and test jacks and to maintain
the protection system and equipment and to indemnify BellSouth
pursuant to Section 6 of the General Terms and Conditions of
this Agreement.
ATTACHMENT 2
PAGE 11
4.3.1.1 Where an adequate length of the end user's inside wire is
present and environmental conditions permit, either Party may
remove the inside wire from the other Party's NID and connect
that wire to that Party's own NID; or
4.3.1.2 Enter the subscriber access chamber or "side" of "dual
chamber" NID enclosures for the purpose of extending a
connecterized or spliced jumper wire from the inside wiring
through a suitable "punch-out" hole of such NID enclosures; or
4.3.1.3 Request BellSouth to make other rearrangements to the inside
wiring terminations or terminal enclosure on a time and
materials cost basis to be charged to the requesting Party
(i.e., ITC/\DeltaCom, its agent, the building owner or the
subscriber). Such charges will be billed to the requesting
Party.
4.3.1.4 In no case shall either Party remove or disconnect the other
Party's loop facilities from either Party's NIDs, enclosures,
or protectors unless: (1) the applicable Commission has
expressly permitted the same; (2) the disconnecting Party
provides prior notice to the other Party, and (3) the Party
disconnecting appropriately caps off and guards the other
Party's loops. It will be ITC/\DeltaCom's responsibility to
ensure there is no safety hazard and will hold BellSouth
harmless for any liability associated with the removal of the
BellSouth loop from the BellSouth NID. In such cases, it shall
be the responsibility of the disconnecting party, once the
other Party's loop has been disconnected from the NID, to
reconnect the disconnected loop to a nationally-
recognized-testing-laboratory-listed station protector, which
has been grounded as per Article 800 of the National
Electrical Code. If ITC/\DeltaCom does not wish to accept this
responsibility, other options exist in which BellSouth
installs a NID for ITC/\DeltaCom as a chargeable option.
4.3.1.5 In no case shall either Party remove or disconnect ground
wires from BellSouth's NIDs, enclosures, or protectors.
4.3.1.6 In no case shall either Party remove or disconnect NID
modules, protectors, or terminals from BellSouth's NID
enclosures.
4.3.1.7 Due to the wide variety of NID enclosures and outside plant
environments BellSouth will work with ITC/\DeltaCom to develop
specific procedures to establish the most effective means of
implementing this Section 4.
4.3.2 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
4.3.2.1 The NID shall provide an accessible point of interconnection
and shall maintain a connection to ground.
ATTACHMENT 2
PAGE 12
4.3.2.2 The NID shall be capable of transferring electrical analog or
digital signals between the subscriber's inside wiring and the
Distribution Media and/or cross connect to ITC/\DeltaCom's
NID, consistent with the NID's function at the Effective Date
of this Agreement.
4.3.2.3 Where a BellSouth NID exists, it is provided in its "as is"
condition. ITC/\DeltaCom may request BellSouth do additional
work to the NID in accordance with Section 4.3.1.7. When
ITC/\DeltaCom deploys its own local loops with respect to
multiple-line termination devices, ITC/\DeltaCom shall specify
the quantity of NIDs connections that it requires within such
device.
4.3.1 INTERFACE REQUIREMENTS
4.3.2 The NID shall be equal to or better than all of the
requirements for NIDs set forth in the following technical
references:
4.3.3 Bellcore Technical Advisory TA-TSY-000120 "Customer Premises
or Network Ground Wire";
4.3.4 Bellcore Generic Requirement GR-49-CORE "Generic Requirements
for Outdoor Telephone Network Interface Devices";
4.3.5 Bellcore Technical Requirement TR-NWT-00239 "Indoor Telephone
Network Interfaces";
4.4.5 Bellcore Technical Requirement TR-NWT-000937 "Generic
Requirements for Outdoor and Indoor Building Entrance"
5. UNBUNDLED LOOP CONCENTRATION (ULC) SYSTEM
5.1 BellSouth will provide to ITC/\DeltaCom Unbundled Loop
Concentration (ULC). Loop concentration systems in the central
office concentrate the signals transmitted over local loops
onto a digital loop carrier system. The concentration device
is placed inside a BellSouth central office. BellSouth will
offer ULC with a TR008 interface or a TR303 interface
5.2 ULC will be offered in two sizes. System A will allow up to 96
BellSouth loops to be concentrated onto multiple DS1s. The
high-speed connection from the concentrator will be at the
electrical DS1 level and may connect to ITC/\DeltaCom at
ITC/\DeltaCom's collocation site. System B will allow up to
192 BellSouth loops to be concentrated onto multiple DS1s.
System A may be upgraded to a System B. A minimum of two DS1s
is required for each system (i.e., System A requires two DS1s
and System B would require an additional two DS1s or four in
total). All DS1 interfaces will terminate to the CLEC's
collocation space. ULC service is offered with or without
concentration and with or without protection. A
ATTACHMENT 2
PAGE 13
Line Interface element will be required for each loop that is
terminated onto the ULC system. Rates for ULC are as set forth
in this Attachment 11.
6. SUB-LOOP ELEMENTS
6.1 Where facilities permit and subject to applicable and
effective FCC rules and orders, BellSouth shall offer access
to its Unbundled Sub Loop (USL) and Unbundled Sub-loop
Concentration (USLC) System. BellSouth shall provide
non-discriminatory access, in accordance with 51.311 and
Section 251(c) (3) of the Act, to the sub-loop. On an
unbundled basis and pursuant to the following terms and
conditions and the rates approved by the Commission and set
forth in Attachment 11 of this Agreement.
6.1.1 Sub-loop components include but are not limited to the
following:
6.1.2 Unbundled Sub-Loop Distribution;
6.1.3 Unbundled Sub-Loop Concentration/Multiplexing Functionality;
and
6.1.4 Unbundled Sub-Loop Feeder.
6.2 UNBUNDLED SUB-LOOP (DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES)
6.2.1 DEFINITION
6.2.2 Subject to applicable and effective FCC rules and orders, the
unbundled sub-loop distribution facility is dedicated
transmission facility that BellSouth provides from a
customer's point of demarcation to a BellSouth cross-connect
device. The BellSouth cross-connect device may be located
within a remote terminal (RT) or a stand-alone cross-box in
the field or in the equipment room of a building. The
unbundled sub-loop distribution media is a copper twisted pair
that can be provisioned as a 2 Wire or 4 Wire facility.
Following are the current sub-loop distribution offerings:
6.2.2.1 Voice grade Unbundled Sub-Loop Distribution (USL-D) is a
sub-loop facility from the cross-box in the field up to and
including the point of demarcation, at the end user's
premises.
6.2.2.2 Unbundled Sub-Loop distribution facilities were originally
built as part of the entire voice grade loop from the
BellSouth central office to the customer network interface.
Therefore, the voice grade Unbundled Sub-Loop may have load
coils, which are necessary for transmission of voice grade
services.
6.2.2.3 Unbundled Copper Sub-Loop (UCSL) is a non-loaded copper
facility of any length provided from the cross-box in the
field up to and including the end-user's point of demarcation.
ATTACHMENT 2
PAGE 14
6.2.2.3.1 If available, this facility will not have any intervening
equipment such as load coils between the end-user and the
cross-box.
6.3 If ITC/\DeltaCom requests a UCSL and a non-loaded pair is not
available, ITC/\DeltaCom may order Unbundled Sub-Loop
Modification to remove load coils and/or bridge tap from an
existing sub-loop facility. If load coils are removed from an
existing sub-loop, that sub-loop will be classified as a UCSL.
ITC/\DeltaCom may order Loop Make-up to determine what loop
modifications will be required.
6.3.1 Unbundled Sub-Loop distribution facilities shall support
functions associated with provisioning, maintenance and
testing of the Unbundled Sub-Loop. For access to Voice Grade
USL-D and UCSL, ITC/\DeltaCom would be required to deliver a
cable to the BellSouth remote terminal or cross-box in the
field to provide continuity to ITC/\DeltaCom's feeder
facilities. This cable would be connected, by a BellSouth
technician, within the BellSouth RT/cross-box during the
set-up process. ITC/\DeltaCom's cable pairs can then be
connected to BellSouth's USL within the BellSouth cross-box by
the BellSouth technician.
6.3.2 Unbundled Sub-Loop - Intrabuilding Network Cable (USL-INC)
(a.k.a. riser cable) is the distribution facility inside a
subscribers' building or between buildings on one customer's
same premises (continuous property not separated by a public
street or road). USL-INC includes the facility from the
cross-connect device in the building equipment room up to and
including the point of demarcation, at the end user's
premises. In a scenario that requires connection in a building
equipment room, BellSouth will install a cross connect panel
that will be installed for the purpose of accessing USL-INC
pairs. The cross-connect panel will function as a single point
of interconnection (SPOI) for USL-INC and will be accessible
by multiple carriers as space permits. BellSouth will place
cross-connect blocks in 25 pair increments for ITC/\DeltaCom's
use on this cross-connect panel. ITC/\DeltaCom will be
responsible for connecting its facilities to the 25 pair
cross-connect block(s).
6.3.3 BellSouth will provide Unbundled Sub-Loops where possible.
Through the firm order Service Inquiry (SI) process, BellSouth
will determine if it is feasible to place the required
facilities where ITC/\DeltaCom has requested access to
Unbundled Sub-Loops. If existing capacity is sufficient to
meet ITC/\DeltaCom's demand, then BellSouth will perform the
set-up work as described in Section 6.3.4. If any work must be
done to modify existing BellSouth facilities or add new
facilities (other than adding the cross-connect panel in a
building equipment room as noted in 6.3.4) to accommodate
ITC/\DeltaCom's request for Unbundled Sub-Loops, ITC/\DeltaCom
may request BellSouth's Special Construction (SC) process to
determine additional costs required to provision the Unbundled
Sub-Loops. ITC/\DeltaCom will have the option of paying the SC
charges to modify the BellSouth facilities.
ATTACHMENT 2
PAGE 15
6.3.4 Set-up work must be completed before ITC/\DeltaCom can order
sub-loop pairs. During the set-up in a BellSouth cross-connect
box in the field, the BellSouth technician will perform the
necessary work to splice ITC/\DeltaCom's cable into the
cross-connect box. For the set-up inside a building equipment
room, BellSouth will perform the necessary work to install the
cross-connect panel and the connecting block(s) that will be
used to provide access to the requested USLs.
6.3.5 Once the set-up is complete, ITC/\DeltaCom will request
sub-loop pairs through submission of a Local Service Request
(LSR) form to the Local Carrier Service Center (LCSC). Manual
Order Coordination is required with USL pair provisioning and
is in addition to the USL pair rate. For expedite requests by
ITC/\DeltaCom for sub-loop pairs, expedite charges will apply
for intervals less than 5 days.
6.3.6 Unbundled Sub-Loop shall be equal to or better than each of
the applicable requirements set forth in the applicable
industry standard technical references.
6.3.7 Unbundled Sub-Loops will be provided in accordance with
technical reference TR73600.
6.4 UNBUNDLED SUB-LOOP CONCENTRATION SYSTEM (USLC)
6.4.1 Where facilities permit and where necessary to comply with an
effective Commission order, BellSouth will provide
ITC/\DeltaCom with the ability to concentrate its sub-loops
onto multiple DS1s back to the BellSouth Central Office. The
DS1s will then be terminated into ITC/\DeltaCom collocation
space. TR-008 and TR303 interface standards are available.
6.4.2 USLC, using the Lucent Series 5 equipment, will be offered in
two different systems. System A will allow up to 96 of
ITC/\DeltaCom's sub-loops to be concentrated onto multiple
DS1s. System B will allow an additional 96 of ITC/\DeltaCom's
sub-loops to be concentrated onto multiple DS1s. One System A
may be supplemented with one System B and they both must be
physically located in a single Series 5 dual channel bank. A
minimum of two DS1s is required for each system (i.e., System
A requires two DS1s and System B would require an additional
two DS1s or four in total). The DS1 level facility that
connects the RT site with the serving wire center is known as
a Feeder Interface. All DS1 Feeder Interfaces will terminate
to ITC/\DeltaCom's collocation space within the SWC that
serves the RT where ITC/\DeltaCom's sub-loops are connected.
USLC service is offered with or without concentration and with
or without a protection DS1.
6.4.3 In these scenarios ITC/\DeltaCom would be required to place a
cross-box, remote terminal (RT), or other similar device and
deliver a cable to the BellSouth remote terminal. This cable
would be connected, by a BellSouth technician, to a
cross-connect panel within the BellSouth RT/cross-box and
would allow
ATTACHMENT 2
PAGE 16
ITC/\DeltaCom's sub-loops to then be placed on the ULSC and
transported to their collocation space at a DS1 level.
6.5 UNBUNDLED SUB-LOOP FEEDER
6.5.1 DEFINITION
6.5.2 Unbundled Sub-Loop Feeder (USLF) provides connectivity between
BellSouth's central office and its cross-box (or other access
point) that serves an end user location.
6.5.3 USLF is intended to be utilized for voice traffic and can be
configured as 2-wire voice (USLF-2W/V) or 4-wire voice
(USLF-4W/V).
6.5.4 USLF can also to be utilized for digital traffic and can be
configured as 2-wire ISDN (USLF-2W/I); 2-wire Copper
(USLF-2W/C); 4-wire Copper (USLF-4W/C) facilities: 4-wire DS0
level loop (USLF-4W/D0); or 4-wire DS1 & ISDN (USLF-4W/DI).
6.5.5 USLF will provide the facilities needed to provision a 2W or
4W communications pathway from the BellSouth central office to
the BellSouth cross-box. This element will allow for the
connection of ITC/\DeltaCom's loop distribution elements onto
BellSouth's feeder system.
6.6 REQUIREMENTS
6.6.1 ITC/\DeltaCom will extend its compatible cable to BellSouth's
cross-box. The cable will then be connected to a panel inside
the BellSouth cross-box to the requested level of feeder
element. In those cases when there is no room in the BellSouth
cross-box to accommodate the additional cross-connect panels
mentioned above, BellSouth will utilize its Special
Construction process to determine the costs to provide the
sub-loop feeder element to ITC/\DeltaCom. ITC/\DeltaCom will
then have the option of paying the special construction
charges or canceling the order.
6.6.2 USLF will be a designed circuit and BellSouth will provide a
Design Layout Record (DLR) for this element.
6.6.3 BellSouth will provide USLF elements in accordance with
applicable industry standards for these types of facilities.
Where industry standards do not exist, BellSouth's TR73600
will be used to determine performance parameters.
7. UNBUNDLED NETWORK TERMINATING WIRE (UNTW)
ATTACHMENT 2
PAGE 17
7.1 BellSouth agrees to offer its Unbundled Network Terminating
Wire (UNTW) to ITC/\DeltaCom pursuant to the following terms
and conditions at rates as set forth in Attachment 11.
7.2 DEFINITION
7.3 Subject to applicable and effective FCC rules and orders, UNTW
is a dedicated transmission facility that BellSouth provides
from the Wiring Closet /Garden Terminal (or other type of
cross-connect point) at the point of termination of
BellSouth's loop distribution facilities to the end user's
point of demarcation. UNTW is the final portion of the loop
owned by BellSouth.
7.4 REQUIREMENTS
7.4.1 On a multi-unit premises where Provisioning Party owns the
network terminating wire, and by request of Requesting Party,
Provisioning Party will provide access to UNTW pairs on an
Access Terminal that is suitable for use by multiple carriers
at each Garden Terminal or Wiring Closet.
7.4.2 In new construction where possible, both Parties may at their
option and with the property owner's agreement install their
own Network Terminating Wire (NTW). In existing construction,
the Provisioning Party shall not be required to install new or
additional NTW beyond existing NTW to provision the services
of the Requesting Party.
7.4.3 Upon notice from the Requesting Party to the Provisioning
party that the Requesting Party desires access to the
Provisioning Party's UNTW pairs in a multi-unit premises,
representatives of both Parties will participate in a meeting
at the site of the requested access. The purpose of the site
visit will include discussion of the procedures for Access
Terminal installation, location and addresses of the Access
Terminals and to discuss an estimated completion date. Upon
completion of site visit, the Requesting Party will submit a
Service Inquiry (SI) to the person or organization designated
by the Provisioning Party to receive the SI. The SI will
initiate the work for the Provisioning Party to begin the
Access Terminal installation. In multi-tenant unit (MTU)
scenarios, Provisioning Party will provide access to UNTW
pairs on an Access Terminal(s). By request of the Requesting
Party, an Access Terminal will be installed either adjacent to
each Provisioning Party's Garden Terminal or inside each
Wiring Closet on the requested MTU. All the UNTW pairs served
by a Garden Terminal/Wiring Closet will be made available on
the Access Terminals. Requesting Party will deliver and
connect its central office facilities to the UNTW pairs within
the Access Terminal. Requesting Party may access any available
pair on an Access Terminal unless the Provisioning Party or
another service provider is using the pair to concurrently
provide service. Prior to connecting Requesting Party's
service on a pair previously used by Provisioning party,
Requesting Party is responsible for
ATTACHMENT 2
PAGE 18
ensuring the end-user is no longer using Provisioning Party's
service or another CLEC's service before accessing UNTW pairs.
7.4.4 Provisioning Party will use best efforts to complete
installation of the Access Terminals within 30 business days
of the receipt by the Provisioning Party of the Service
Inquiry from the Requesting Party.
7.4.5 Requesting Party is responsible for obtaining the property
owner's permission for Provisioning Party to install an Access
Terminal(s) on behalf of the Requesting Party. The submission
of the SI by the Requesting Party will serve as certification
by the Requesting Party that such permission has been
obtained.
7.4.6 Requesting Party will be billed for non-recurring and
recurring charges for accessing UNTW pairs at the time the
Requesting Party activates the pair(s). ITC/\DeltaCom will
report use of the UNTW pairs on a Local Service Request (LSR)
form submitted to BellSouth's Local Carrier Service Center
(LCSC).
7.4.7 Requesting Party will isolate and report repair problems to
the UNE center. Requesting Party must tag the UNTW pair that
requires repair. If Provisioning Party dispatches a technician
on a reported trouble call and no UNTW trouble is found,
Provisioning Party will charge Requesting Party for time spent
on the dispatch and testing the UNTW pair(s).
7.4.8 If Requesting Party initiates the Access Terminal installation
and the Requesting Party has not activated at least one pair
on the Access Terminal installed pursuant to Requesting
Party's request for an Access Terminal within 6 months of
installation of the Access Terminal, Provisioning Party will
xxxx Requesting Party a non-recurring charge equal to the
actual cost of provisioning the Access Terminal.
7.4.9 If Provisioning Party determines that Requesting Party is
using the UNTW pairs without reporting such usage to
BellSouth, the following charges shall apply in addition to
any fines which may be established by state commissions and
any other remedies at law or in equity available to the
Provisioning Party:
7.4.10 If Requesting Party issued a LSR to disconnect an end-user
from BellSouth in order to use a UNTW pair, Requesting Party
will be billed for the use of the pair back to the disconnect
order date.
7.4.11 If Requesting Party activated a UNTW pair on which
Provisioning Party was not previously providing service,
Requesting Party will be billed for the use of that pair back
to the date the end-user began receiving service using that
pair. Upon request, Requesting Party will provide copies of
its billing record to substantiate such date. If Requesting
Party fails to provide such records, then Provisioning Party
will xxxx the Requesting Party back to the date of the Access
Terminal installation.

8. UNBUNDLED NETWORK ELEMENT COMBINATIONS
8.1 Unbundled Network Element Combinations shall include: 1)
Enhanced Extended Links (EELs) 2) UNE Loops/Special Access
Combinations 3) Loop/Port Combinations and 4) Transport
Combinations.
8.2 For purposes of this Section, references to "Currently
Combined" network elements shall mean that such network
elements are in fact already combined by BellSouth in the
BellSouth network to provide service to a particular end user
at a particular location.
8.3 EELS
8.3.1 Where facilities permit and where necessary to comply with an
effective FCC and/or State Commission order, or as otherwise
mutually agreed by the Parties, BellSouth shall offer access
to loop and transport combinations, also known as the Enhanced
Extended Link ("EEL") as defined in Section 8.3.2 below.
8.3.2 Subject to Section 8.3.3 below, BellSouth will provide access
to the EEL in the combinations set forth in Section 8.3.4
following. This offering is intended to provide connectivity
from an end user's location through that end user's SWC to
ITC/\DeltaCom's POP serving wire center. The channels on the
circuit sufficient to meet the local usage options described
in Section 8.3.5 below, must be connected to ITC/\DeltaCom's
switch for the purpose of provisioning telephone exchange
service to ITC/\DeltaCom's end-user customers. The EEL will be
connected to ITC/\DeltaCom's facilities in ITC/\DeltaCom's
collocation space at the POP SWC, or ITC/\DeltaCom may
purchase BellSouth's access facilities between ITC/\DeltaCom's
POP and ITC/\DeltaCom's collocation space at the POP SWC.
8.3.3 BellSouth shall provide EEL combinations to ITC/\DeltaCom in
Georgia regardless of whether or not such EELs are Currently
Combined. In all other states, BellSouth shall make available
to ITC/\DeltaCom those EEL combinations described in Section
8.3.4 below only to the extent such combinations are Currently
Combined. Furthermore, BellSouth will make available EEL
combinations to ITC/\DeltaCom in density Zone 1, as defined in
47 C.F.R. 69.123 as of January 1, 1999, in the Atlanta, GA;
Miami, FL; Orlando, FL; Ft. Lauderdale, FL;
Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill, NC; Greensboro-Winston
Salem-High Point, NC; Nashville, TN; and New Orleans, LA, MSAs
regardless of whether or not such EELs are Currently Combined.
Except as stated above, EELs will be provided to ITC/\DeltaCom
only to the extent such network elements are Currently
Combined.

8.3.5 SPECIAL ACCESS SERVICE CONVERSIONS
8.3.5.1 ITC/\DeltaCom may not convert special access services to
combinations of loop and transport network elements, whether
or not ITC/\DeltaCom self-provides its entrance facilities (or
obtains entrance facilities from a third party), unless
ITC/\DeltaCom uses the combination to provide a significant
amount of local exchange service, in addition to exchange
access service, to a particular customer. To the extent
ITC/\DeltaCom requests to convert any special access services
to combinations of loop and transport network elements at UNE
prices, ITC/\DeltaCom shall provide to BellSouth a letter
certifying that ITC/\DeltaCom is providing a significant
amount of local exchange service (as described in this
Section) over such combinations. The certification letter
shall also indicate under what local usage option
ITC/\DeltaCom seeks to qualify for conversion of special
access circuits. ITC/\DeltaCom shall be deemed to be providing
a significant amount of local exchange service over such
combinations if one of the following options is met:
8.3.5.1.1 ITC/\DeltaCom certifies that it is the exclusive provider of
an end user's local exchange service. The loop-transport
combinations must terminate at ITC/\DeltaCom's collocation
arrangement in at least one BellSouth central office. This
option does not allow loop-transport combinations to be
connected to
ATTACHMENT 2
PAGE 21
BellSouth's tariffed services. Under this option,
ITC/\DeltaCom is the end user's only local service provider,
and thus, is providing more than a significant amount of local
exchange service. ITC/\DeltaCom can then use the loop-
transport combinations that serve the end user to carry any
type of traffic, including using them to carry 100 percent
interstate access traffic; or
8.3.5.1.2 ITC/\DeltaCom certifies that it provides local exchange and
exchange access service to the end user customer's premises
and handles at least one third of the end user customer's
local traffic measured as a percent of total end user customer
local dialtone lines; and for DS1 circuits and above, at least
50 percent of the activated channels on the loop portion of
the loop-transport combination have at least 5 percent local
voice traffic individually, and the entire loop facility has
at least 10 percent local voice traffic. When a loop-transport
combination includes multiplexing, each of the individual DS1
circuits must meet this criteria. The loop-transport
combination must terminate at ITC/\DeltaCom's collocation
arrangement in at least one BellSouth central office. This
option does not allow loop-transport combinations to be
connected to BellSouth tariffed services; or
8.3.5.1.3 ITC/\DeltaCom certifies that at least 50 percent of the
activated channels on a circuit are used to provide
originating and terminating local dial-tone service and at
least 50 percent of the traffic on each of these local
dial-tone channels is local voice traffic, and that the entire
loop facility has at least 33 percent local voice traffic.
When a loop-transport combination includes multiplexing, each
of the individual DS1 circuits must meet this criteria. This
option does not allow loop-transport combinations to be
connected to BellSouth's tariffed services. Under this option,
collocation is not required. ITC/\DeltaCom does not need to
provide a defined portion of the end user's local service, but
the active channels on any loop-transport combination, and the
entire facility, must carry the amount of local exchange
traffic specified in this option.
8.3.5.2 In addition, there may be extraordinary circumstances where
ITC/\DeltaCom is providing a significant amount of local
exchange service, but does not qualify under any of the three
options set forth in Section 8.3.5.1.1, 8.3.5.1.2, 8.3.5.1.3.
In such case, ITC/\DeltaCom may petition the FCC for a waiver
of the local usage options set forth in the June 2, 2000
Order. If a waiver is granted, the Parties shall amend this
Agreement within 45 days of ITC/\DeltaCom's request to the
extent necessary to incorporate the terms of such waiver.
8.3.5.3 BellSouth may audit ITC/\DeltaCom records to the extent
reasonably necessary in order to verify the type of traffic
being transmitted over combinations of loop and transport
network elements. The audit shall be conducted by a third
party independent auditor, and ITC/\DeltaCom shall be given
thirty days written notice of scheduled audit. Such audit
shall occur no more than one time in a calendar year, unless
results of an audit find noncompliance with the significant
amount of local exchange service requirement. In the event of
noncompliance, ITC/\DeltaCom shall reimburse BellSouth for the
cost of the audit. If, based on its
ATTACHMENT 2
PAGE 22
audits, BellSouth concludes that ITC/\DeltaCom is not
providing a significant amount of local exchange traffic over
the combinations of loop and transport network elements,
BellSouth may file a complaint with the appropriate
Commission, pursuant to the dispute resolution process as set
forth in the Interconnection Agreement. In the event that
BellSouth prevails, BellSouth may convert such combinations of
loop and transport network elements to special access services
and may seek appropriate retroactive reimbursement from
ITC/\DeltaCom.
8.3.5.4 ITC/\DeltaCom may convert special access circuits to
combinations of loop and transport UNEs pursuant to the terms
of this Section and subject to the termination provisions in
the applicable special access tariffs, if any.

BellSouth network or personnel or the use of the BellSouth
network by BellSouth or any other telecommunication carrier.
9.1.3 LOCAL CIRCUIT SWITCHING CAPABILITY, INCLUDING TANDEM SWITCHING
CAPABILITY
9.1.3.1 DEFINITION
Local Circuit Switching Capability is defined as: (A)
line-side facilities, which include, but are not limited to,
the connection between a loop termination at a main
distribution frame and a switch line card; (B) trunk-side
facilities, which include, but are not limited to, the
connection between trunk termination at a trunk-side
cross-connect panel and a switch trunk card; and (C) All
features, functions, and capabilities of the switch, which
include, but are not limited to: (1) the basic switching
function of connecting lines to lines, line to trunks, trunks
to lines, and trunks to trunks, as well as the same basic
capabilities made available to BellSouth's customers, such as
a telephone number, white page listings, and dial tone; and
(2) all other features that the switch is capable of
providing, including but not limited to customer calling,
customer local area signaling service features, and Centrex,
as well as any technically feasible customized routing

16. PREORDERING LOOP MAKEUP (LMU)
16.1 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
16.1.1 BellSouth shall make available to ITC/\DeltaCom loop makeup
(LMU) data for BellSouth's network facilities. This section
addresses LMU as a preordering transaction, distinct from
ITC/\DeltaCom ordering any other service(s). Loop Makeup
Service Inquiries (LMUSI) for preordering loop makeup are
likewise unique from other preordering functions with
associated service inquiries (SI) as described in this
Agreement.
16.1.1.2 BellSouth will provide ITC/\DeltaCom with loop makeup
information consisting of the composition of the loop material
(copper/fiber); the existence, location and type of equipment
on the loop, including but not limited to digital loop carrier
or other remote concentration devises, feeder/distribution
interfaces, bridge taps, load coils, pair-gain devices; the
loop length; and the wire gauge. The LMUSI may be utilized by
ITC/\DeltaCom for the purpose of determining whether the loop
requested is capable of supporting DSL service or other
advanced data
ATTACHMENT 2
PAGE 59
services. The determination shall be made solely by
ITC/\DeltaCom and BellSouth shall not be liable in any way for
the performance of the advanced data services provisioned over
said loop.
16.1.1.3 BellSouth's LMU information is provided to ITC/\DeltaCom as it
exists either in BellSouth's databases or in its hard copy
facility records. BellSouth does not guarantee accuracy or
reliability of the LMU information provided.
16.1.1.4 Mechanized LMU is available for limited deployment to those
CLECs that have effective X-Digital Subscriber Line (xDSL)
Beta Test Agreements in place with BellSouth.
16.1.2 SUBMITTING LOOP MAKEUP SERVICE INQUIRIES
16.1.2.1 ITC/\DeltaCom will be able to obtain LMU information by
submitting a LMUSI mechanically or manually. MECHANIZED LMUSIs
should be submitted through BellSouth's Operational Support
Systems interfaces. After obtaining the resulting loop data
from the mechanized LMUSI process, if ITC/\DeltaCom determines
that it needs further loop data information in order to make a
determination of loop service capability, ITC/\DeltaCom may
initiate a separate manual SI for a separate nonrecurring
charge as set forth in Section 2.14.3.
16.1.2.2 MANUAL
16.1.2.3 LMUSIs shall be submitted on the preordering manual LMUSI form
by means of fax or electronic-mail to BellSouth's Complex
Resale Support Group (CRSG)/Account Team utilizing the
Preordering Loop Makeup Service Inquiry form. The standard
service interval for the return of a Loop Makeup Manual
Service Inquiry is seven business days which is the same as
BellSouth's own internal guidelines. This service interval is
distinct from the interval applied to the subsequent service
order. Manual LMUSIs are not subject to expedite requests.
16.2 LMUSI TYPES & ASSOCIATED CHARGES
ITC/\DeltaCom may request LMU information by submitting LMUSIs
in accordance with the rate elements in Attachment 11.
16.2.1 ITC/\DeltaCom will be assessed a nonrecurring charge for each
facility queried as specified in the table above. Rates for
all states are interim and subject to true-up pending approval
of final rates by the respective State Commissions. True-ups
will be retroactive to the effective date of this Agreement.
16.2.2 ITC/\DeltaCom may reserve facilities for up to four (4) days
in connection with a LMUSI. Reserved facilities for which
ITC/\DeltaCom does not plan to place a UNE local service
request (LSR) should be cancelled by ITC/\DeltaCom. Should
ATTACHMENT 2
PAGE 60
ITC/\DeltaCom wish to cancel a reservation on a spare
facility, the cancellation will require a facility reservation
number (RESID/FRN).
16.2.3 The reservation holding timeframe is a maximum of four days
from the time that BellSouth's LMU data is returned to
ITC/\DeltaCom for the facility queried. During this holding
time and prior to ITC/\DeltaCom's placing an LSR, the reserved
facilities are rendered unavailable to other customers,
whether for CLEC(s) or for BellSouth. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, BellSouth does not guarantee that a reservation
will assure ITC/\DeltaCom's ability to order the exact
facility reserved.
16.2.4 If ITC/\DeltaCom does not submit an LSR for a UNE service
order on a reserved facility within the four-day reservation
timeframe, the reservation of that spare facility will become
invalid and the facility will be released.
16.2.5 Charges for preordering LMUSI are separate from any charges
associated with ordering other services from BellSouth.
16.3 ORDERING OF OTHER UNE SERVICES
16.3.1 Whenever ITC/\DeltaCom has reserved a facility through
BellSouth's preordering LMU service, should ITC/\DeltaCom seek
to place a subsequent UNE LSR on a reserved facility,
ITC/\DeltaCom shall provide BellSouth the RESID/FRN of the
single spare facility on the appropriate UNE LSR.,
ITC/\DeltaCom will be billed the appropriate rate element for
the specific type UNE loop ordered by ITC/\DeltaCom as set
forth in this Attachment. ITC/\DeltaCom will not be billed any
additional Loop Makeup charges for the loop so ordered. Should
ITC/\DeltaCom choose to place a UNE LSR having previously
submitted a request for preordering LMU WITHOUT a reservation,
ITC/\DeltaCom will be billed the appropriate rate element for
the specific UNE loop ordered as well as additional Loop
Markup charges as set forth in this Attachment. Rates are
provided in the UNE Rate Exhibits for Attachment 11.
16.3.2 Where ITC/\DeltaCom submits an LSR to order facilities
reserved during the LMUSI process, BellSouth will use its best
efforts to assign to ITC/\DeltaCom the facility reserved as
indicated on the return of the LMU.
To the extent applicable, multi-facility reservations per
single RESID/FRN as provided with the mechanized LMUSI process
are less likely to result in the specific assignment requested
by ITC/\DeltaCom. For those occasions when BellSouth's
assignment system cannot assign the specific facility reserved
by ITC/\DeltaCom during the LMU pre-ordering transaction,
BellSouth will assign to ITC/\DeltaCom, subject to
availability, a facility that meets the BellSouth technical
standards of the BellSouth type loop as ordered by
ITC/\DeltaCom. If the ordered loop type is not available,
ITC/\DeltaCom may utilize the Unbundled
ATTACHMENT 2
PAGE 61
Loop Modification process or the Special Construction process,
as applicable, to obtain the loop type ordered.
BellSouth offers LMU information for the sole purpose of
allowing ITC/\DeltaCom to determine whether, in CLEC's
judgment, BellSouth's loops will support the specific services
that ITC/\DeltaCom wishes to provide over those loops.
ITC/\DeltaCom may choose to use equipment that it deems will
enable it to provide a certain type and level of service over
a particular BellSouth loop; however, such configurations may
not match BellSouth's or the industry's standards and
specifications for the intended type and level of service.
Accordingly, ITC/\DeltaCom shall be responsible for insuring
that the specific loop type (ADSL, HDSL, or otherwise) ordered
on the LSR matches the LMU of the facility requested.
ITC/\DeltaCom bears full responsibility for being
knowledgeable of BellSouth's technical standards and the
specifications of BellSouth's loops. ITC/\DeltaCom bears full
responsibility for making the appropriate ordering decisions
of matching BellSouth loops with ITC/\DeltaCom's equipment for
accomplishing ITC/\DeltaCom's end goal for the intended
service it wishes to provide its end-user(s). ITC/\DeltaCom is
fully responsible for any of its service configurations that
may differ from BellSouth's technical standard for the loop
type ordered.

LOCAL INTERCONNECTION
1.0 SCOPE
BellSouth shall provide ITC/\DeltaCom interconnection with BellSouth's
network for the transmission and routing of Telephone Exchange Service
traffic and Exchange Access traffic pursuant to Section 251 (c)(2) of
the Act on the terms and conditions specified in this Attachment 3.
1.1 LOCAL TRAFFIC
Local Traffic is as defined in Section 6 of this Attachment.
1.2 NETWORK INTERCONNECTION
At each Party's option, Interconnection in each LATA may be
accomplished at any technically feasible point within the Parties'
networks, including without limitation the trunk side of any local
switch; trunk interconnection points for any tandem switch; central
office cross connect points; out-of-band signal transfer points; and
the points of access to unbundled elements. Requests to BellSouth for
interconnection at other points may be made through the Bona Fide
Request/New Business Request process set out in General Terms and
Conditions and Attachment 9. Interconnection may be established by the
Parties via (i) Collocation as provided in Attachment 4 to the
Agreement; (ii) establishment of a Fiber Meet as provided in Section
1.3.3 hereof; or (iii) interconnection via purchase of facilities from
either Party by the other Party.
1.2.1 ITC/\DeltaCom shall establish at least one Point of Presence and
Interconnection Point with BellSouth per LATA for the delivery of
ITC/\DeltaCom's originated local and intraLATA toll and transit
traffic. ITC/\DeltaCom must establish an interconnection trunk group(s)
to at least one BellSouth access tandem within the LATA for the
delivery of ITC/\DeltaCom's originated local and intraLATA toll and
transit traffic. ITC/\DeltaCom may establish additional trunk groups in
such LATA pursuant to this Agreement. If ITC/\DeltaCom chooses to
interconnect using a single trunk group within a LATA, the
interconnection trunk group must be at a BellSouth Access Tandem.
Furthermore, ITC/\DeltaCom must establish an interconnection trunk
group(s) to all BellSouth access and local tandems where ITC/\DeltaCom
NXXs are "homed." A "Homing" arrangement is defined by a "Final" Trunk
Group between the BellSouth Tandem andITC/\DeltaCom End Office switch.
A "Final" Trunk Group is the last choice telecommunications path
between the Tandem and End Office switch. It is ITC/\DeltaCom's
responsibility to enter its own NPA/NXX access and/or
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 2
local tandem "homing" arrangements into the national Local Exchange
Routing Guide (LERG).
1.2.2 In order for ITC/\DeltaCom to home its NPA/NXX(s) on a BellSouth Tandem,
ITC/\DeltaCom's NPA/NXX(s) must be assigned to an Exchange Rate Center
Area served by that BellSouth Tandem and as specified by BellSouth. The
specified association between BellSouth Tandems and Exchange Rate Center
Areas is defined in the Local Exchange Routing Guide (LERG). To the
extent that as of the date hereof, existing arrangements do not comply
with this section, the Parties will work cooperatively to transition
existing arrangements to comply with this section.
1.2.3 The INTERCONNECTION POINT is the point at which the originating Party
delivers its originated traffic to the terminating Party.
Interconnection Point(s) are available at either Access Tandems, Local
Tandems, or End Offices as described in this Attachment. ITC/\DeltaCom's
requested Interconnection Point will be used for the receipt and
delivery of transit traffic at BellSouth Access and Local Tandems.
Interconnection Point(s) established at the BellSouth Local Tandem apply
only to local, ISP-bound, and local originating and terminating transit
traffic. Each Party is financially and operationally responsible for
providing the network on its side of the Interconnection Point.
1.2.4 For the purposes of this Attachment , a POINT OF PRESENCE (POP) is the
physical location (a structure where the environmental, power, air
conditioning, etc. specifications for a Party's terminating equipment
can be met) at which a Party establishes itself for obtaining access to
the other Party's network. The POP is the physical location within which
the Interconnection Point(s) occur.
1.2.5 For the purposes of this Attachment, the Interconnection Point is
further defined as the physical telecommunications interface between
BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom's interconnection functions. It establishes
the technical interface and point of operational responsibility. The
primary function is to serve as the terminus for the interconnection
service. The Interconnection Point has the following main
characteristics:
1. It is a cross-connect point to allow connection,
disconnection, transfer or restoration of service.
2. It is a point where BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom can
verify and maintain specific performance objectives.
3. It is specified according to the interface offered in
the tariff or local interconnection agreement (for
example: for DS1 service the FCC # 1 tariff specifies
that the interface meets the technical specifications
detailed in Generic Requirements GR-342-CORE, Issue
1, December 1995.)
4. The Parties provide their own equipment (CPE) to
interface with the DS0, DS1, DS3, STS1 and/or OCn
circuits on the customer premises.
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 3
In the establishment of BellSouth's Interconnection Point, if BellSouth
chooses to collocate with ITC/\DeltaCom, BellSouth will pay
ITC/\DeltaCom collocation charges at rates no more than the BellSouth
collocation rates that BellSouth charges ITC/\DeltaCom.
1.2.6 A minimum of one Interconnection Point shall be established in each
LATA in which ITC/\DeltaCom originates, terminates, or exchanges local
traffic or ISP-bound traffic and interconnects with BellSouth. The
location of the initial Interconnection Point shall be established by
mutual agreement of the Parties. In selecting the initial
Interconnection Point, both Parties will act in good faith and select
the point which is most efficient for both Parties. Each Party shall be
responsible for engineering and maintaining the network on its side of
the Interconnection Point. Establishment of an initial Interconnection
Point will be initiated by written request and will be based on traffic
volumes and patterns, facilities available, and other factors unique to
the area. If the Parties are not able to reach mutual agreement on an
initial Interconnection Point within 30 calendar days of the date of
the written request, the dispute will be escalated to the next level of
management. The next level of management will meet as often as
necessary to resolve the dispute. If, 30 calendar days after the
dispute has been escalated, the Parties are still unable to agree to an
initial mutual Interconnection Point, each Party will designate the
initial Interconnection Point for its originated traffic. The Parties
agree that they have, at the time of entering into this agreement,
existing Interconnection Points in certain LATAs. As such, the Parties
agree that if either Party desires to transition an existing
Interconnection Point or Points, the transition of the first
Interconnection Point in a LATA will be pursuant to this Section 1.2.6.
The transition of a subsequent Interconnection Point or Points in a
LATA shall be pursuant to Section 1.2.6.1 below. Notwithstanding the
above, no more than eight Interconnection Points regionwide shall be
transitioned within the first twelve months of the effective date of
this agreement and no more than sixteen Interconnection Points
regionwide shall be transitioned over a period of twenty-four months.
1.2.6.1 Additional Interconnection Points in a particular LATA may be
established by mutual agreement of the Parties. Absent mutual
agreement, in order to establish additional Interconnection
Points in a LATA, the traffic between ITC/\DeltaCom and
BellSouth at the proposed additional Interconnection Point
must exceed 8.9 million minutes of local or ISP-bound traffic
per month for three consecutive months during the busy hour.
Additionally, any end office to be designated as an
Interconnection Point must be more than 20 miles from an
existing Interconnection Point. BellSouth will not designate
an Interconnection Point at a Central Office where physical or
virtual collocation space or BellSouth fiber connectivity is
not available.
Upon written notification from the Party requesting the
establishment of an additional Interconnection Point, the
receiving Party has 45 calendar days to analyze, respond to,
and negotiate in good faith the establishment of and location
of such Interconnection Point. If the receiving Party
disagrees that the traffic and mileage thresholds set forth
herein have been met, then such Party may utilize the
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 4
dispute resolution procedures set forth in the General Terms
and Conditions of this Agreement.
1.2.7 The Parties shall make available to each other one way and two way
trunks for the reciprocal exchange of combined local, ISP-bound and
intraLATA toll traffic. Consistent with the provisions of Sections
1.2.6 and 1.2.6.1, the Parties shall institute a xxxx and keep
compensation plan effective September 1, 2000 under which neither Party
will charge the other Party recurring and nonrecurring charges
associated with local interconnection trunks and facilities for the
exchange of traffic other than Transit Traffic. Both Parties, as
appropriate, shall be compensated for the furnishing of local
interconnection trunks and facilities for the exchange of Transit
Traffic.
1.2.8 Each Party agrees to use its best efforts and act in good faith to
adopt reasonable procedures to facilitate the addition of appropriate
local interconnection trunks and facilities for the exchange of traffic
between each Party's network.
1.3 METHODS OF INTERCONNECTION
Each Party at its election shall have the sole right and descretion to
specify any one of the following methods for interconnection at
theInterconnection Point:
a) a Fiber-Meet as set forth in Section 1.3.3 of this Attachment;
b) a collocation facility which it maintains at the other Party's
Interconnection Point wire center (i.e., physical collocation as
set forth in Attachment 4 of this Agreement);
c) a collocation facility maintained at the Interconnection Point wire
center by a third party with whom the Party requesting
interconnection has contracted for such purpose;or
d) Interconnection via purchase of leased facility(ies) as set forth
in Section 1.3.2 below.
1.3.1 The Party requesting interconnection shall provide written notice to
the other Party to change from one of the interconnection methods
specified above to another of the networks specified above. The parties
shall negotiate in good faith the interval for changing the
interconnection methods. A mutually acceptable third party contractor
can be employed by the Party making the change.
1.3.2 INTERCONNECTION VIA PURCHASE OF FACILITIES
1.3.2.1 In lieu of providing facilities on its side of the
Interconnection Point, either Party may purchase Local Channel
facilities from the Party's specified Interconnection Point to
its designated serving wire center. The Parties agree that
charges for such
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 5
Local Channel facilities are as set forth in Attachment 11. If
a nonrecurring or recurring rate is not identified in
Attachment 11 for a Local Channel, the rate shall be as set
forth in the appropriate BellSouth intrastate or interstate
tariff for switched access services.
1.3.2.1.1Additionally, and in lieu of provising facilities on
its side of the Interconnection Point, either party
may purchase Dedicated Transport facilities from its
designated serving wire center to the other Party's
first point of switching. The Parties agree that
charges for such Dedicated Transport facilities are
as set forth in Attachment 11. If a nonrecurring or
recurring rate is not identified in Attachment 11 for
Dedicated Transport, the rate shall be as set forth
in the appropriate BellSouth intrastate or interstate
tariff for switched access services.

as a switch transport facility between a Party's Point of
Presence and its designated serving wire center.
1.3.2.3 For the purposes of this Attachment, Serving Wire Center is
defined as the wire center owned by one Party from which the
other Party would normally obtain dial tone for its Point of
Presence.
1.3.2.4 For the purposes of this Attachment, Dedicated Transport is
defined as a switch transport facility between a Party's
designated serving wire center and the first point of
switching on the other Party's common (shared) network.
1.3.3 FIBER MEET
"Fiber-Meet" or "Mid-Span Meet" means an Interconnection
architecture method whereby the Parties physically interconnect their
networks via an optical fiber interface (as opposed to an electrical
interface) at a mutually agreed upon location, at which one Party's
responsibility or service begins and the other Party's responsibility
ends.
1.3.3.1 If ITC/\DeltaCom elects to interconnect with BellSouth
pursuant to a Fiber Meet, ITC/\DeltaCom and BellSouth shall
jointly engineer and operate a Synchronous Optical Network
("SONET") transmission system by which they shall interconnect
their networks for the transmission and routing of Telephone
Exchange Service traffic pursuant to Section 251 (c)(2) of the
Act. The Parties shall work together to determine the specific
SONET transmission system. However, ITC/\DeltaCom's SONET
transmission system must be compatible with BellSouth's

center as a Fiber Meet point, and shall make all necessary
preparations to receive, and to allow and enable ITC/\DeltaCom
to deliver, fiber optic facilities into the Interconnection
Point with sufficient spare length to reach the fusion splice
point at the Interconnection Point. BellSouth shall, wholly at
its own expense, procure, install and maintain the fusion
splicing point in the Interconnection Point. A Common Language
Location Identification ("CLLI") code will be established for
each Point of Interface. The code established must be a
building type code. All orders shall originate from the
Interconnection Point (i.e., Interconnection Point to
ITC/\DeltaCom, Interconnection Point to BellSouth).
1.3.3.5 ITC/\DeltaCom shall deliver and maintain such strands wholly
at itsown expense. Upon verbal request by ITC/\DeltaCom,
BellSouth shall allow ITC/\DeltaCom access to the Fiber Meet
entry point for maintenance purposes as promptly as possible.
1.3.3.6 The Parties shall jointly coordinate and undertake maintenance
of the SONET transmission system. Each Party shall be

Agreement.
1.4.1.1The notice provided in SECTION 1.4.1 shall include (i) the
initial Interconnection Point ITC/\DeltaCom has designated for
its originated traffic in the new LATA; (ii) ITC/\DeltaCom's
requested Interconnection Activation Date; and (iii) a
non-binding forecast of ITC/\DeltaCom's trunking requirements.
1.5 ADDITIONAL INTERCONNECTION IN EXISTING LATAS
If either party wishes to establish additional or new Interconnection
Point(s) in any LATA, the Requesting Party shall provide written notice
thereof to the other Party. The terms and conditions of this Agreement
shall apply to such Interconnection. Neither party shall unreasonably
refuse to interconnect for the delivery of traffic at each
Interconnection Point (e.g., Points of collocation, existing entrance
facilities, or any other mutually agreeable location). The Parties
shall negotiate in good faith the interval for such additional or new
Interconnection Point. If and when either Party deploys a new tandem
switch or rehomes end offices, the Party initiating such change shall
notify all interconnectors (including LERG updates) so that affected
Parties may establish proper interconnection arrangements.
2.0 PERCENT LOCAL USAGE/PERCENT INTERSTATE USAGE
PERCENT LOCAL USE. Each Party will report to the other a Percentage
Local Usage ("PLU"). The application of the PLU will determine the
amount of local minutes to be billed to the other party. For purposes
of developing the PLU, each party shall consider every local call and
every long distance call, excluding intermediary traffic. Effective on
the first of January, April, July and October of each year, BellSouth
and ITC/\DeltaCom shall provide a positive report updating the PLU.
Detailed requirements associated with PLU reporting shall be as set
forth in BellSouth's Standard Percent Local Use Reporting Platform for
Interconnection Purchasers, as it is amended from time to time during

company has message recording technology that identifies the traffic
terminated, such information, in lieu of the PLU factor,
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 8
shall upon mutual agreement of the Parties be utilized to determine the
appropriate local usage compensation to be paid.
PERCENTAGE INTERSTATE USAGE. Both Party's based on their respective
tariffs for combined interstate and intrastate traffic terminated by
the other Party over the same facilities, will be required to provide a
projected Percentage Interstate Usage ("PIU") to the other Party. All
jurisdictional report requirements, rules and regulations for
Interexchange Carriers specified in the Parties' Access Services Tariff
will apply. After interstate and intrastate traffic percentages have
been determined by use of PIU procedures, the PLU factor will be used
for application and billing of local interconnection. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, where the terminating company has message recording
technology that identifies the traffic terminated, such information, in
lieu of the PLU factor, shall upon mutual agreement of the Parties be
utilized to determine the appropriate local usage compensation to be
paid.
2.1 AUDITS
On thirty (30) days written notice, each party must provide the other
the ability and opportunity to conduct an annual audit to ensure the
proper billing of traffic. BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom shall retain
records of call detail for a minimum of nine months from which a PLU can
be ascertained. The audit shall be accomplished during normal business
hours at an office designated by the party being audited. Audit requests
shall not be submitted more frequently than one (1) time per calendar
year. Audits shall be performed by a mutually acceptable independent
auditory paid for by the party requesting the audit. The PLU and/or PIU
shall be adjusted based upon the audit results and shall apply to the
usage for the quarter the audit was completed, to the usage for the
quarter prior to the completion of the audit, and to the usage for the
two quarters following the completion of the audit.
3.0 METHODS OF INTERCONNECTION
3.1 SCOPE OF TRAFFIC
This section prescribes parameters for trunk groups to be effected over
the interconnections specified in this attachment 3 hereof for the
transmission and routing of telephone exchange service traffic,
Intralata Toll Traffic and Exchange Access Traffic. The Parties agree
for the purpose of this Attachment that Local Interconnection is as
defined in Part B of the General Terms and Conditions of this Agreement.
3.2 INTERCONNECTION TRUNKING AND ROUTING
3.2.1 TRUNKING OPTIONS. Each of the following trunking arrangements shall be
available to either party, unless bellsouth demonstrates, consistent
with objectively verifiable engineering standards, that such arrangement
is not
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 9
technically feasible. BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom shall establish
interconnecting trunk groups and trunking configurations between
networks including the establishment of one-way or two-way trunks in
accordance with the following conditions:
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 10
3.2.1.1 INITIAL TRUNKING CONFIGURATION. At the specified Interconnection
Point(s) per this Agreement, ITC/\DeltaCom and BellSouth shall
interconnect using one-way trunk groups. One group carries
ITC/\DeltaCom-originated local and intraLATA toll traffic destined for
BellSouth end-users. The other group carries BellSouth-originated local
and intraLATA toll traffic destined for ITC/\DeltaCom end-users. A
trunk group must be established as a two-way group from the
ITC/\DeltaCom switch to BellSouth access tandem(s) or local tandem(s)
as specified in this Agreement. This group carries intratandem transit
traffic between ITC/\DeltaCom and Independent Companies, Interexchange
Carriers, other CLECs and other network providers with which
ITC/\DeltaCom desires interconnection and has the proper contractual
arrangements. If MTA is ordered to the BellSouth access tandem, this
group may also carry intertandem traffic between ITC/\DeltaCom and
Independent Companies, other CLECs, and other network providers (except
Interexchange Carriers) with which ITC/\DeltaCom desires
interconnection and has the proper contractual arrangements as
specified in this Agreement. Other trunk groups for operator services,
directory assistance, emergency services and intercept may be
established if required.
3.2.1.2 TWO-WAY TRUNKING CONFIGURATION. Two-Way Trunk Interconnection
establishes two-way trunk groups to carry local and intraLATA toll
traffic between ITC/\DeltaCom and BellSouth. ITC/\DeltaCom and
BellSouth must agree to the "BellSouth Two-way Trunking Rules"
(described later in this attachment) in order to establish this
architecture. The other parameters are similar to one-way trunk
interconnection as described by the Initial Trunking architecture
above. Other trunk groups for operator services, directory assistance,
emergency services and intercept may be established if required.
3.2.1.3 SUPERGROUP TRUNKING CONFIGURATION. In the Supergroup arrangement, all
local, intraLATA toll and transit traffic is carried on a single
two-way trunk group between the ITC/\DeltaCom switch and each BellSouth
access tandem within a LATA. ITC/\DeltaCom and BellSouth must agree to
the " BellSouth Two-way Trunking Rules" in order to establish this
architecture. Other trunk groups for operator services, directory
assistance, emergency services and intercept may be established if
required.
3.2.1.4 PREFERRED TRUNKING CONFIGURATION. At the specified Interconnection
Point(s) per this Agreement, all ITC/\DeltaCom-to-BellSouth local,
two-way intraLATA toll and two-way transit traffic is carried on a
single two-way trunk group between the ITC/\DeltaCom switch and
BellSouth access tandem(s) within a LATA. BellSouth-to-ITC/\DeltaCom
local and intraLATA Toll traffic is carried on one-way trunk groups
terminating to the ITC/\DeltaCom switch. Other trunk groups for
operator services, directory assistance, emergency services and
intercept may be established if required.
3.2.2 BellSouth Two-Way Trunking Rules
3.2.2.1 ITC/\DeltaCom will initiate 2-way trunk request, and BellSouth
will concur. However, 2-way trunks will be jointly
provisioned.
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 11
3.2.2.2 The Interconnection Point will be located at a mutually agreed
location orpoint designated by BellSouth. If an agreement
cannot be reached on the location of the Interconnection
Point, each company will establish its own Interconnection
Point and order 1-way trunks.
3.2.2.3 BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom will jointly review the trunk
forecast, as needed, on a periodic basis, or at least every
six (6) months.
3.2.2.4 ITC/\DeltaCom will order trunks using ASR process in place for
Local Interconnection after the joint planning meeting takes
place between BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom.
3.2.2.5 BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom must agree on Standard Traffic
Engineering parameters that will be used in the engineering of
the trunk groups.
3.2.2.6 BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom must agree to meet and resolve
service-affecting situations in a timely manner.
3.2.2.7 Establishing a 2-way trunk group does not preclude BellSouth
or ITC/\DeltaCom from adding 1-way trunk groups within the
same Local Calling Area.
3.2.2.8 For technical reasons, 2-way trunk groups may not be ordered
to a BellSouth DMS100 Local Tandem or DMS100 End Office.
3.2.2.9 BellSouth will be responsible for the installation and
maintenance of its trunks and facilities to the mutually
agreed Interconnection Point, and ITC/\DeltaCom will be
responsible for the installation and maintenance of its trunks
and facilities to the mutually agreed to Interconnection
Point.
3.2.3 Any ITC/\DeltaCom interconnection request that deviates from the
standard trunking configurations as described in this section or the
BellSouth Call Transport & Termination Service For Facility Based CLECs
section of the Facility Based CLEC Activation Requirements Customer
Guide that affects traffic delivered toITC/\DeltaCom from a BellSouth
switch that requires special BellSouth switch translations and other
network modifications will requireITC/\DeltaCom to submit a Bona Fide
Request/New Business Request via the Bona Fide Request/New Business
Request Process set forth in General Terms and Conditions and in
Attachment 9.
3.2.4 Except as otherwise provided in 1.2.7, all terms and conditions, as
well as charges, both non-recurring and recurring, associated with
interconnecting trunk groups between BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom not
addressed in Attachment 11 shall be as set forth in the appropriate
BellSouth intrastate or interstate tariff for switched access services.
ITC/\DeltaCom shall be responsible for ordering and paying for any
two-way trunks carrying transit traffic.
3.2.5 The Parties shall utilize direct end office trunking under the
following conditions:
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 12
(1) Tandem Exhaust - If a tandem through which the Parties are
interconnected is unable to, or is forecasted to be unable to
support additional traffic loads for any period of time, the
Parties will mutually agree on an end office trunking plan
that will alleviate the tandem capacity shortage and ensure
completion of traffic between ITC/\DeltaCom and BellSouth's
subscribers.
(2) Traffic Volume -To the extent either Party has the
capability to measure the amount of traffic between a
ITC/\DeltaCom switching center and a BellSouth end office,
either Party shall install and retain direct end office
trunking sufficient to handle actual or reasonably forecasted
traffic volumes, whichever is greater, between a ITC/\DeltaCom
switching center and a BellSouth end office where the traffic
exceeds or is forecasted to exceed a single DS1 of local
traffic per month. Either Party will install additional
capacity between such points when overflow traffic between
ITC/\DeltaCom's switching center and BellSouth's end office
exceeds or is forecasted to exceed a single DS1 of local
traffic per month. In the case of one way trunking, additional
trunking shall only be required by the Party whose trunking
has achieved the preceding usage threshold.
(3) Mutual Agreement - The Parties may install direct end
office trunking upon mutual agreement in the absence of the
conditions (1) or (2) above and agreement will not
unreasonably be withheld.
3.2.6 Switched Access traffic will be delivered to and by IXCs based on
ITC/\DeltaCom's NXX Access Tandem homing arrangement as specified by
ITC/\DeltaCom in the national Local Exchange Routing Guide (LERG).
3.2.7 All trunk groups will be provisioned as Signaling System 7 (SS7)
capable where technically feasible.
3.3. MULTIPLE TANDEM ACCESS.
3.3.1 Multiple Tandem Access (MTA) provides for LATA wide transport and
termination of local and intraLATA toll traffic of a Party by
establishing interconnection trunk group(s) at the transporting and
terminating Party's access tandem with routing through multiple access
tandems of the transporting and terminating Party as required. However,
the Party originating such traffic must establish interconnection trunk
group(s) at all access tandems of the transporting and terminating
Party where the originating Party's NXXs are "homed". If the
originating Party does not have NXXs homed at an access tandem of the
transporting and terminating Party within a LATA and elects not to
establish an interconnection trunk group(s) at such access tandem, the
originating Party may order MTA in
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 13
each access tandem of the transporting and terminating Party within the
LATA where it does have interconnection trunk group(s) and the
transporting and terminating Party will terminate traffic to end-users
served through those access tandems where the originating Party does
not have an Interconnection Point. MTA shall be provisioned in
accordance with the transporting and terminating Party's Ordering
Guidelines.
3.3.2 MTA does not include switched access traffic that transits the
transporting and terminating Party's network to an Interexchange
Carrier (IXC). Switched Access traffic will be delivered to and by IXCs
based on the originating Party's NXX Access Tandem homing arrangement
as specified by the originating Party in the national Local Exchange
Routing Guide (LERG).
3.3.3 For local and intraLATA toll traffic originated by one Party that the
other Party transports but is destined for termination by a third Party
network (transit traffic), MTA is required if multiple access tandems
are necessary to deliver the call to the third party network..
3.3.4 With MTA, for the delivery of a Party's local and ISP-bound traffic,
such Party will be assessed charges as specified in Attachment 11 to
this Agreement for the additional transport and tandem switching on an
elemental basis in addition to the reciprocal compensation rate to
which the Parties have agreed in Section 6.1.2. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the situation of tandem exhaust at any particular tandem,
where the Parties choose MTA as an alternative routing plan, the
Parties will negotiate in good-faith appropriate rates, terms and
conditions for MTA.
3.3.5 To the extent a Party does not purchase MTA in a calling area that has
multiple access tandems serving the calling area as defined by the
other Party, such must establish an interconnection trunk group(s) to
every access tandem in the calling area in order to serve the entire
calling area. To the extent a Party does not purchase MTA and provides
intraLATA toll service to its customers, it may be necessary for it to
establish interconnection trunk group(s) to additional access tandems
of the transporting and terminating Party that serve end offices
outside the local calling area.
3.4 LOCAL TANDEM INTERCONNECTION. This interconnection arrangement allows
ITC/\DeltaCom to establish interconnection trunk group(s) at BellSouth
local tandems for: (1) the delivery of ITC/\DeltaCom-originated local
traffic transported and terminated by BellSouth to BellSouth end
offices within the local calling area as defined in BellSouth's GSST,
section A3 served by those BellSouth local tandems, and (2) for local
transit traffic transported by BellSouth for third party network
providers who have also established interconnection trunk group(s) at
those BellSouth local tandems.
3.4.1 When a specified local calling area is served by more than one
BellSouth local tandem, ITC/\DeltaCom must designate a "home" local
tandem for each of its assigned
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 14
NPA/NXXs and establish trunk connections to such local tandems.
Additionally, ITC/\DeltaCom may choose to establish interconnection
trunk group(s) at the BellSouth local tandems where it has no codes
homing but is not required to do so. ITC/\DeltaCom may deliver local
traffic to a "home" BellSouth local tandem that is destined for other
BellSouth or third party network provider end offices subtending other
BellSouth local tandems in the same local calling area where
ITC/\DeltaCom does not choose to establish a interconnection trunk
group(s). It is ITC/\DeltaCom's responsibility to enter its own NPA/NXX
local tandem homing arrangements into the Local Exchange Routing Guide
(LERG) either directly or via a vendor in order for other third party
network providers to determine appropriate traffic routing to
ITC/\DeltaCom's codes. Likewise, ITC/\DeltaCom shall obtain its routing
information from the LERG.
3.4.2 Notwithstanding establishing interconnection trunk group(s) to
BellSouth's local tandems, ITC/\DeltaCom must also establish
interconnection trunk group(s) to BellSouth access tandems within the
LATA on which ITC/\DeltaCom has NPA/NXX's homed for the delivery of
Interexchange Carrier Switched Access (SWA) and toll traffic, and
traffic to Type 2A CMRs connections located at the access tandems.
BellSouth cannot switch SWA traffic through more than one BellSouth
access tandem. SWA, Type 2A CMRs or toll traffic routed to the local
tandem in error will not be backhauled to the BellSouth access tandem
for completion. (Type 2A CMRs interconnection is defined in BellSouth's
A35 General Subscriber Services Tariff.)
3.4.3 BellSouth's provisioning of local tandem interconnection assumes
that ITC/\DeltaCom has executed the necessary local interconnection
agreements with the other third party network providers subtending
those local tandems as required by the Act.
3.5 Direct connection to an End Office shall provide the Party requesting
Interconnection with access to all valid NXX codes served by that End
Office. Direct end office trunking may not be unreasonably withheld.
Trunking can be established to tandems or end offices or a combination
as mutually agreed.
3.6 If a pre-existing trunk group is unable to support additional traffic
loads, or consistent with standard trunk engineering practices, is
reasonably forecasted as specified in accordance with Section 4.4 to be
unable to support additional traffic loads, each Party shall, upon
request of the other Party, provision additional trunks to expand the
capacity of such pre-existing trunk group (within the timeframes
specified in Attachments 6 and 10 to the Agreement).
3.7 ITC/\DeltaCom may opt at any time to terminate to BellSouth some or all
local exchange traffic and intraLATA toll traffic originating on its
network, together with switched access traffic, via Feature Group B or
D Switched Access services which ITC/\DeltaCom may otherwise purchase
from BellSouth, subject to the rates, terms and conditions specified in
BellSouth's applicable switched access tariffs. At no time shall
ITC/\DeltaCom be required to route outbound traffic via facilities for
which a full retail or end
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 15
user toll charge would be assessed when parallel FG-B or FG-D routing,
or routing via a different carrier exists which is capable of carrying
and completing said traffic at more favorable rates. However, Switched
Access Traffic will not be represented as Local Traffic.
4.0 NETWORK DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT FOR INTERCONNECTION
4.1 NETWORK MANAGEMENT AND CHANGES. BellSouth shall work cooperatively with
ITC/\DeltaCom to install and maintain the most effective and reliable
interconnected telecommunications networks, including but not limited
to, the exchange of toll-free maintenance contact numbers and
escalation procedures. BellSouth agrees to provide public notice of
changes in the information necessary for the transmission and routing
of services using its Local Exchange facilities or networks, as well as
of any other changes that would affect the interoperability of those
facilities and networks.
4.2 INTERCONNECTION- TECHNICAL STANDARDS. The interconnection of all
networks will be based upon accepted industry/national guidelines for
transmission standards and traffic blocking criteria. Interconnecting
facilities shall conform, at a minimum, to the telecommunications
industry standard of DS1 pursuant to Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xx.
XX-XXX-00000. Signal transfer point, Signaling System 7("SS7")
connectivity is required at each interconnection point. BellSouth will
provide out-of-band signaling using Common Channel Signaling Access
Capability where technically and economically feasible, in accordance
with the technical specifications set forth in the BellSouth Guidelines
to Technical Publication, TR-XXX000000. Facilities of each Party shall
provide the necessary on-hook, off-hook answer and disconnect
supervision and shall hand off calling number ID when technically
feasible.
4.3 NETWORK MANAGEMENT CONTROLS. Both Parties shall work cooperatively with
each other to apply sound network management principles by invoking
appropriate network management controls, e.g., call gapping, to
alleviate or prevent network congestion.
4.4 FORECASTING REQUIREMENTS
4.4.1 The Parties shall exchange technical descriptions and forecasts of
their Interconnection and traffic requirements in sufficient detail
necessary to establish the interconnections required to assure traffic
completion to and from all customers in their respective designated
service areas. In order for BellSouth to provide as accurate reciprocal
trunking forecasts as possible to ITC/\DeltaCom, ITC/\DeltaCom must
timely inform BellSouth of any known or anticipated events that may
affect BellSouth reciprocal trunking requirements. If ITC/\DeltaCom
refuses to provide such information, BellSouth shall provide reciprocal
trunking forecasts based only on existing
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 16
trunk group growth and BellSouth's annual estimated percentage of
BellSouth subscriber line growth.
4.4.2 Both Parties shall meet every six (6) months or at otherwise mutually
agreeable intervals for the purpose of exchanging non-binding forecasts
of their traffic and volume requirements for the Interconnection and
Network Elements provided under this Agreement, in the form and in such
detail as agreed by the Parties. The Parties agree that each forecast
provided under this Section shall be deemed "Confidential Information"
under Section 9 of the General Terms and Conditions - Part A of the
Agreement.
4.4.3 The trunk forecast should include trunk requirements for all of the
interconnecting trunk groups for the current year plus the next two
future years. The forecast meeting between the Parties could be a
face-to-face meeting, video conference or audio conference. It could be
held regionally or geographically. Ideally, these forecast meetings
should be held at least semi-annually, or more often if the forecast is
no longer usable. Updates to a forecast or portions thereof, should be
made whenever the Party providing the forecast deems that the latest
trunk requirements exceed the original quantities by 24 trunks or ten
percent (10%), whichever is greater. Either Party should notify the
other Party if they have measurements indicating that a trunk group is
exceeding its designed call carrying capacity and is impacting other
trunk groups in the network. Also, either Party should notify the other
Party if they know of situations where the traffic load is expected to
increase significantly and thus affect the interconnecting trunk
requirements as well as the trunk requirements within the other Party's
network. The Parties agree that the forecast information provided under
this Section shall be deemed "Confidential Information" as described in
the General Terms and Conditions Part A of the Agreement.
4.4.4 Binding forecast:
4.4.4.1 In addition to, and not in lieu of, non-binding forecasts,
ITC/\DeltaCom may at its electionprovide to BellSouth a binding
forecast of the trunks that BellSouth will need to interconnect with
ITC/\DeltaCom in order to terminate traffic to ITC/\DeltaCom. Unless
otherwise agreed, a binding forecast may not be requested for an
existing trunk group that is underutilized as defined in this section
or for exhausted BellSouth switch locations. ITC/\DeltaCom shall
provide to BellSouth sufficient justification for the quantity of
trunks contained within the binding forecast. The due date contained in
the binding forecast shall be no less than three months from the date
of the binding forecast. Once the binding forecast is submitted to
BellSouth, ITC/\DeltaCom agrees to make no changes to said forecast.
4.4.4.2 BellSouth shall provide the total amount of requested trunks from
either tandem or end offices depending on trunk and facilities
availability.
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 17
4.4.4.3 A binding forecast shall not replace the ASR process of ordering trunks
and BellSouth shall order the quantity of trunks from ITC/\DeltaCom set
forth in the binding forecast. BellSouth shall request due dates on the
trunk orders to coincide with the due dates specified in the binding
forecast, and the Parties shall provision the ordered trunks by the due
date.
4.4.4.4 To recover the cost associated with assuring that the quantity of trunk
port terminations needed to meet the binding forecast are available on
the agreed upon due date, ITC/\DeltaCom shall pay to BellSouth a non-
recurring charge of $305.00 for the first DS1 trunk port and a non-
recurring charge $152.50 for each additional DS1 trunk port forecasted
in a trunk group (i.e. between an A to Z location or BellSouth switch
location to an ITC/\DeltaCom switch location)
4.4.4.5 If, within 180 days of the installation of the trunks, 60 percent of
the capacity of the trunks is not being utilized, ITC/\DeltaCom will
pay BellSouth a percentage of the total monthly recurring trunk and
facility charges as set forth in BellSouth's tariffs for the percentage
of the trunks' capacity that is not being utilized.
4.4.4.6 If, within 360 days of the installation of the trunks, 85 percent of
the capacity of the trunks is not being utilized, ITC/\DeltaCom will
pay BellSouth a percentage of the total monthly recurring trunk and
facility charges as set forth in BellSouth's tariffs for the percentage
of the trunks' capacity that is not being utilized.
4.4.4.7 If, within 405 days of the installation of the trunks, the trunks are
not being utilized to 85 percent of the capacity of the trunks, the
excess trunks may be disconnected by BellSouth.
4.4.4.8 Utilization on BellSouth reciprocal interconnection trunk groups
associated with a binding forecast shall be measured monthly and shall
be measured at the time consistent busy hour. The charges as a result
of under-utilization as described in the preceding section shall apply
monthly.
4.4.4.9 Except in the instance of underutilization by ITC/\DeltaCom in Section
4.4.4.5 , neither Party shall charge the other for nonrecurring trunk
and recurring, if applicable, trunk charges associated with a binding
forecast.
4.4.4.10 Where BellSouth installs additional facilities on an interconnection
trunk group associated with a binding forecast, ITC/\DeltaCom will not
be subject to underutilization penalties as set for in this Section
4.4.4.
4.5 COMMON CHANNEL SIGNALING. Both Parties shall provide LEC-to-LEC Common
Channel Signaling ("CCS") to each other, where available, in
conjunction with all traffic in order to enable full interoperability
of CLASS
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 18
features and functions except for call return. All CCS signaling
parameters will be provided, including automatic number identification
("ANI"), calling party number ("CPN"), originating line information
("OLI"), calling company category, charge number, etc. All privacy
indicators will be honored, and each Party will cooperate with the
other on the exchange of Transactional Capabilities Application Part
("TCAP") messages to facilitate full interoperability of CCS-based
features between the respective networks. Where available, network
signaling information such as Carrier Identification Parameter (CCS
platform), at the standard tariff rates, and CIC/OZZ information
(non-CCS environment) will be provided wherever such information is
needed for call routing or billing. The Parties will follow all
Ordering and Billing Forum (OBF) adopted standards pertaining to
CIC/OZZ codes. Where CCS is not available, in-band multi-frequency (MF)
wink start E&M channel Associated signaling will be provided. Such MF
arrangements will require a separate trunk group between
ITC/\DeltaCom's switch and one specified BellSouth switch.
ITC/\DeltaCom shall establish CCS interconnection with BellSouth signal
transfer points (STPs) in each LATA, either directly or via an
intermediary STP provider.
4.5.1 Where the interconnection is via B-link connections, charges for the
SS7 interconnection elements are as follows: 1) Port Charge - BellSouth
will not xxxx an STP port charge nor will BellSouth agree to pay a port
charge; 2) SS7 Network Usage - BellSouth will xxxx SS7 Network Usage
and will agree to pay usage billed by ITC/\DeltaCom (to the extent that
a flat rate surrogate charge is billed by ITC/\DeltaCom, it will not
exceed BellSouth's charge); 3) SS7 Link- BellSouth will xxxx for only
two links of each quad ordered. Application of these charges in this
manner reflects the reciprocal use of the two parties signaling
networks.
4.5.2 Where the interconnection is via A-link connections, charges for the
SS7 interconnection elements are as follows: 1) Port Charge- BellSouth
will xxxx an STP port charge and does not agree to pay a termination
charge at ITC/\DeltaCom's end office; 2) SS7 Network Usage- BellSouth
will xxxx for usage on its SS7 network and will not agree to pay for
any usage billed by ITC/\DeltaCom; 3) Link- BellSouth will xxxx full
charges for each link in the A link pair and will not agree to pay
ITC/\DeltaCom for any portion of those links
4.5.3 Call Information. BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom will send and receive 10
digits for local traffic. BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom shall exchange
the proper call information, i.e., originated call company number and
destination call company number, CIC, and OZZ, including all proper
translations for routing between networks and any information necessary
for billing.
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 19
4.5.4 Each Party is responsible for requesting Interconnection to the other
Party's CCS network, where SS7 signaling on the trunk group(s) is
desired. The Parties shall establish Interconnection at the STP.
4.5.5 Where available and upon the request of the other Party, each Party
shall cooperate to ensure that its trunk groups are configured
utilizing the B8ZS ESF protocol for 64 kbps clear channel transmission
to allow for ISDN interoperability between the Parties' respective
networks.
4.5.6 All originating Toll Free Service calls for which BellSouth performs
the Service Switching Point (SSP) function (e.g., performs the database
query) shall be delivered by ITC/\DeltaCom using GR-394 format over the
transit trunk group. Carrier Code "0110" and Circuit Code of "08" shall
be used for all such calls. In the event ITC/\DeltaCom becomes a toll
free service provider, BellSouth shall deliver traffic using the GR-394
format over a trunk group designated for Toll Free Service.
4.5.7 All originating Toll Free Service calls for which ITC/\DeltaCom
performs the SSP function, if delivered to BellSouth, shall be
delivered by ITC/\DeltaCom using GR-394 format over the transit trunk
group for calls destined to IXCs, or shall be delivered by
ITC/\DeltaCom using GR-317 format over the Local Interconnection Trunk
Group for calls destined to end offices that directly subtend BellSouth
access tandems.
5.0 PARITY
Interconnection shall be equal in quality to that provided by the
Parties to themselves or to any subsidiary, affiliate, or other party.
Equal in quality means that interconnection facilities shall meet the
same technical criteria and service standards that are used within the
Parties' own networks, such as probability of blocking in peak hours
and transmission standards.
5.1 The Parties shall provide Interconnection (i) in accordance with the
requirements of this Attachment 3, (ii) in conformance with the
Performance Standards listed in Attachment 10, and (iii) as required by
the applicable state Commission and the FCC.
5.2 Local Dialing Parity
Each party shall provide local dialing parity, meaning that each
party's customers will not have to dial any greater number of digits
than the other Party's customers to complete the same call. In
addition, under equivalent interconnection arrangements, ITC/\DeltaCom
local service customers will experience at least the same quality as
bellsouth local service customers regarding post-dial delay, call
completion rate and transmission quality.

6.0 INTERCONNECTION COMPENSATION
6.1 COMPENSATION FOR CALL TRANSPORTATION AND TERMINATION FOR LOCAL TRAFFIC
AND INTER-CARRIER COMPENSATION FOR ISP-BOUND TRAFFIC
6.1.1 Local Traffic is defined as any telephone call that originates and
terminates in the same Local Access and Transport Area ("LATA") as that
term is defined in 47 U.S.C. ss. 153(25) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended.
6.1.2 Subject to the Parties agreement to the terms of Sections 1.2 through
1.2.8, 1.3.2, 3.3.3, and 6.1 through 6.1.9,the Parties will compensate
each other on a mutual and reciprocal basis for the transport and
termination of Local Traffic at the following rates:
1/1/01 - 12/31/01 $.00175 per MOU
1/1/02 - 12/31/02 $.00150 per MOU
The Parties recognize and agree that they negotiated these annual rates
together as a complete rate structure to apply over the full term of
this Agreement and that the Parties would not have mutually agreed to
accept a single annual rate in any single year.
6.1.3 The Parties have been unable to agree upon whether dial up calls to
Internet Service Providers ("ISPs") should be considered Local Traffic
for purposes of this Agreement. Dial-up Calls are defined as calls to
an ISP that are dialed by using a local dialing pattern (7 or 10
digits) by the calling party to an ISP server located in the LATA
(hereinafter referred to as "ISP-bound traffic"). However, without
prejudice to either Party's position concerning the application of
reciprocal compensation to ISP-bound traffic, the Parties agree for
purposes of this Agreement only to compensate each other for the
delivery of ISP-bound traffic at the same per minute of use rates set
forth in Paragraph 6.1.2. It is expressly understood and agreed that
this inter-carrier compensation mechanism for ISP-bound traffic is
being established in consideration for: (1) the waiver and release by
each Party for any and all claims for reciprocal compensation for
ISP-bound traffic exchanged between the Parties prior to January 1,
2001, which is hereby given; and (2) the terms and conditions in
Sections 1.2 through 1.2.8, 1.3.2, 3.3.3, and 6.1 through 6.1.9.
6.1.4. The Parties recognize and agree that the FCC, courts of competent
jurisdiction, or state commissions with jurisdiction over the Parties
will issue subsequent decisions on ISP-bound traffic ("Subsequent
Decisions"). Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the
contrary, the inter-carrier compensation mechanism established in
Section 6.1.3 shall continue at the rates set forth in Section 6.1.2
through December 31, 2002 without regard to such Subsequent Decisions.
6.1.5 ITC/\DeltaCom hereby waives its rights under this Agreement as well as
under Section 252(i) of the 1996 Act and applicable FCC regulations to
elect rates, terms, and conditions from any other approved
interconnection agreement executed by BellSouth as

they relate to: (a) Local Interconnection arrangements described in
Section 1 of Attachment 3 to this Agreement; (b) Multiple Tandem Access
described in Section 3 of Attachment 3 to this Agreement; and (c)
Interconnection Compensation described in Section 6 of Attachment 3 to
this Agreement. Accordingly, during the term of this Agreement,
ITC/\DeltaCom agrees that it will not seek to elect such rates, terms,
or conditions from another interconnection agreement, regardless of
when that interconnection agreement was entered into by BellSouth and
regardless of when ITC/\DeltaCom became aware of the existence of such
agreement. Nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver of
ITC/\DeltaCom's rights to elect any rates, terms, and conditions to
take effect after December 31, 2002.
6.1.6 The Parties recognize and agree that the compensation for the transport
and termination of Local Traffic set forth in Section 6.1.2 and the
inter-carrier compensation mechanism for ISP-bound traffic set forth in
Section 6.1.3 are intended to allow each Party to recover costs
associated with such traffic. The Parties agree to act in good faith in
seeking compensation under Section 6.1.2 and Section 6.1.3 of this
Agreement and to refrain from taking any action, whether directly or
indirectly, for the primary purpose of generating compensation from the
other Party. For example, the Parties recognize and agree that such
compensation will not be billed and shall not be paid for a call placed
by an end user customer, or placed on behalf of an end user customer,
to establish or maintain a network connection if: (1) such call is not
recognized by industry practice to constitute traffic (voice or data)
which results from a telephone call; (2) the end user customer does not
control the dialed number destination and content of that call; and (3)
the primary purpose of that call is to generate the payment of
compensation as a result of establishing or maintaining the network
connection.
6.1.7 In Order No. PSC-00-0537-FOF-TP in Docket 990750-TP dated March 15,
2000, the Florida Public Service Commission approved a reciprocal
compensation rate of $.009 per minute of use for inclusion in the
interconnection agreement between BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom. Upon
BellSouth's motion for reconsideration, the Florida Commission directed
that the Parties mediate their dispute over the appropriate reciprocal
compensation rate. In consideration for the resolution of this dispute,
BellSouth hereby agrees to prepay compensation to ITC/\DeltaCom for the
Local Traffic to be transported and terminated to ITC/\DeltaCom and the
ISP-bound traffic to be handled by ITC/\DeltaCom during 2001 and 2002
based upon ITC/\DeltaCom's good-faith forecast of the amount of such
traffic during this period. The compensation that BellSouth will prepay
is Twenty Four Million Dollars ($24,000,000) for 2001 and an amount not
to exceed Twenty Four Million Dollars ($24,000,000) for 2002. Such
prepaid compensation is subject to the reconciliation process and the
cap set forth in Sections 6.1.7.1, 6.1.7.2, and 6.1.7.3 respectively,
and the change in control provision set forth in Section 6.1.7.4.
6.1.7.1 The prepayment of compensation pursuant to Section 6.1.7 shall not
relieve ITC/\DeltaCom of the obligation to render monthly invoices to
BellSouth reflecting the total minutes of Local Traffic transported and
terminated to ITC/\DeltaCom and the minutes of ISP-bound traffic
handled by ITC/\DeltaCom for which compensation is being sought from
BellSouth. Not later than July 30, 2001, the Parties agree to review
these
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 22
invoices to verify the minutes of Local Traffic transported and
terminated to ITC/\DeltaCom and the minutes of ISP-bound traffic
handled by ITC/\DeltaCom during the first six months of 2001. A similar
review will be conducted as soon as practicable in December 2001 for
the preceding three month-period ("December 2001 Review"). Subsequent
reviews will be conducted quarterly in 2002. As part of these reviews,
ITC/\DeltaCom agrees to provide BellSouth upon request whatever
information may be reasonably necessary to verify the minutes of use
for which compensation is being sought from BellSouth. If, as a result
of these reviews, the Parties determine that ITC/\DeltaCom's actual
minutes of use for Local Traffic and ISP-bound traffic are below the
forecasted amounts for such traffic, ITC/\DeltaCom will refund promptly
to BellSouth the prepaid compensation attributable to the difference
between the actual and forecasted minutes of use. If, as a result of
these reviews, the Parties determine that ITC/\DeltaCom's actual
minutes of use for Local Traffic and ISP-bound traffic exceed the
forecasted amounts, BellSouth will pay promptly to ITC/\DeltaCom
compensation attributable to the difference between the actual and
forecasted minutes of use, subject to the cap set forth in Section
6.1.7.3. Any dispute that may arise during this reconciliation process
shall be handled pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures under
this Agreement.
6.1.7.2 The specific amount of reciprocal compensation to be prepaid by
BellSouth for the Local Traffic to be transported and terminated to
ITC/\DeltaCom and the ISP-bound traffic to be handled by ITC/\DeltaCom
during 2002 will be determined as a result of the December 2001 Review.
As part of this review, the Parties will calculate the Prepayment
Threshold by: (a) calculating the total minutes of use of Local Traffic
and ISP-bound traffic originated by BellSouth for which ITC/\DeltaCom
is seeking compensation during September, October, and November 2001;
(b) multiplying these total minutes by the rate of $.0015 per minute of
use; and (c) annualizing the results by applying a factor of four. If
the Prepayment Threshold is equal to or exceeds Twenty One Million Six
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($21,600,000), BellSouth will prepay
compensation to ITC/\DeltaCom for the Local Traffic to be transported
and terminated to ITC/\DeltaCom and the ISP-bound traffic to be handled
by ITC/\DeltaCom during 2002 in the amount of Twenty Four Million
Dollars ($24,000,000). If the Prepayment Threshold is less than Twenty
One Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($21,600,000), BellSouth will
prepay compensation to ITC/\DeltaCom for the Local Traffic to be
transported and terminated to ITC/\DeltaCom and the ISP-bound traffic
to be handled by ITC/\DeltaCom during 2002 in the amount of the
Prepayment Threshold.
6.1.7.3 Notwithstanding the prepayment of compensation by BellSouth and
notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary,
BellSouth's total liability for compensation to ITC/\DeltaCom for the
transport and termination of Local Traffic and for the handling of
ISP-bound traffic shall not exceed Twenty Seven Million and Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($27,500,000) for 2001 and Twenty Nine Million
and Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($29,500,000) for 2002. ITC/\DeltaCom
agrees that once the cap has been met in a particular year that it will
not seek to collect compensation from BellSouth, whether directly or
indirectly, for the transport and termination of Local Traffic and for
the handling of ISP-bound traffic. The Parties agree that no
compensation will be due from
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 23
BellSouth for resold services purchased by ITC/\DeltaCom from
BellSouth, even if ITC/\DeltaCom purchases such services on behalf of
or for the use of another entity, whether or not affiliated with
ITC/\DeltaCom. Further, the Parties agree that no compensation will be
due from ITC/\DeltaCom to BellSouth for transport and termination of
Local Traffic over resold services.
6.1.7.4 DeltaCom hereby agrees that it will not dissolve, consolidate,
reorganize, merge or sell all or substantially all of its stock or
assets without the prior written consent of BellSouth, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event BellSouth consents to
a dissolution of ITC/\DeltaCom, and prior to such dissolution taking
effect, ITC/\DeltaCom shall reimburse BellSouth all unaccrued amounts
of compensation prepaid by BellSouth pursuant to Section 6.1.7 as of
the effective date of such dissolution. In the event BellSouth consents
to a consolidation, reorganization or merger of ITC/\DeltaCom or an
acquisition of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of
ITC/\DeltaCom, BellSouth shall have the option to either continue
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or elect to be
reimbursed by ITC/\DeltaCom or its successor interest for all unaccrued
amounts of compensation prepaid by BellSouth pursuant to Section 6.1.7
as of the effective date of such consolidation, reorganization, merger,
or acquisition. In the event BellSouth elects to exercise its option of
reimbursement as a result of consolidation, reorganization, merger or
acquisition described herein, this Agreement shall be deemed amended as
of the effective date of such consolidation, reorganization, merger, or
acquisition to delete Section 6.1.7 in its entirety, such that: (a) the
rates set forth in Section 6.1.2 for the transport and termination of
Local Traffic and the delivery of ISP-bound traffic shall continue in
effect for all applicable minutes of use during the applicable period
of time following such consolidation, reorganization, merger, or
acquisition; (b) compensation for such minutes of use shall be paid by
BellSouth to such successor in interest to this Agreement based upon
actual minutes of use during the applicable time period; and (c) the
cap set forth in Section 6.1.7.3 shall be eliminated and of no effect.
Prior to the effective date of any consolidation, reorganization,
merger, or acquisition described herein, ITC/\DeltaCom shall take all
necessary steps to bind its successor in interest to the terms of this
Section.
6.1.7.5 However, in the event BellSouth does not consent to a ITC/\DeltaCom
dissolution, consolidation, reorganization, merger or sale of all or
substantially all of ITC/\DeltaCom's stock or assets, ITC/\DeltaCom may
refund to BellSouth all unaccrued amounts prepaid to ITC/\DeltaCom as
described in Section 6.1.7 and proceed with such dissolution,
consolidation, reorganization, merger or sale of all or substantially
all of ITC/\DeltaCom's stock or assets. However, in this event, this
Agreement shall be deemed amended as of the effective date of such
consolidation, reorganization, merger, or acquisition to delete Section
6.1.7 in its entirety, such that: (a) the rates set forth in Section
6.1.2 for the transport and termination of Local Traffic and the
delivery of ISP-bound traffic shall continue in effect for all
applicable minutes of use during the applicable period of time
following such consolidation, reorganization, merger, or acquisition;
(b) compensation for such minutes of use shall be paid by BellSouth to
such successor in interest to this Agreement based upon actual minutes
of use during the applicable time period; and (c) the cap set forth in
Section 6.1.7.3 shall be eliminated and of no effect.
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 24
6.1.7.6 BellSouth may from time to time elect to apply a portion of the
prepayment described in this Section against other amounts due from
BellSouth to ITC/\DeltaCom for services provided by ITC/\DeltaCom to
BellSouth between the date of this Agreement and December 31, 2002.
BellSouth's election as described in this paragraph shall not affect
BellSouth's obligation to pay in full all amounts when due for services
provided to BellSouth by ITC/\DeltaCom, including, without limitation
the obligation of payment of reciprocal compensation as provided in
this Section 6.1.6 and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
therein.
6.1.8 Neither Party shall represent switched access services traffic as Local
Traffic for purposes of payment of reciprocal compensation.
6.1.9 Local traffic is defined in Section 6.1.1 as any call that originated
and terminates within the same LATA and therefore is subject to
reciprocal compensation. All other traffic including transit traffic is
subject to switched access charges as defined by the parties'
respective tariffs. Notwithstanding the above, any mandated local
calling areas shall be subject to reciprocal compensation and not
access charges
7. TRANSMISSION AND ROUTING OF EXCHANGE ACCESS TRAFFIC
The Parties shall jointly provide Tandem-transported Switched Exchange
Access Services to Interexchange Carriers to enable such Interexchange
Carriers to originate and terminate traffic from/to ITC/\DeltaCom's End
Users, and to originate and terminate traffic to/from BellSouth's End
Users.
8.0 NXX TRANSLATIONS IMPLEMENTATION
It shall be the responsibility of each Party to program and update its
switches and network systems pursuant to the local exchange routing
guide (LERG) and other switched telecommunications industry guidelines
to recognize and route traffic to the other Party's assigned NXX codes.
Neither Party shall impose any fees or charges whatsoever on the other
Party for such activities.
8.1 Testing and inputting of the translations in the BellSouth databases of
ITC/\DeltaCom's NXXs' should be the same as BellSouth's own.
8.2.1 Each Party will translate NXXs according to industry guidelines,
including the terminating LATA in which the NXXs/rate center is
located.
8.3 The Parties will cooperate and implement industry solutions for number
conservation, e.g. number pooling.
9.0 MEET-POINT BILLING ARRANGEMENTS
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 25
9.1 MEET-POINT BILLING
When BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom provide an access service connection
between an interexchange carrier ("IXC") and each other, each party
will provide its own access services to the IXC on a multi-xxxx,
multi-tariff meet-point basis. Each party will xxxx its own access
services rates to the IXC with the exception of the interconnection
charge. The interconnection charge will be billed by the party
providing the end office function. The Parties will use the Multiple
Exchange Carrier Access Billing guidelines to establish meet point
billing for all applicable traffic, including traffic terminating to
ported numbers. 30-day billing periods will be employed for these
arrangements. The recording party agrees to provide to the initial
billing company, at no charge, the switched access detailed usage data
within no more than sixty (60) days after the recording date. The
initial billing company will provide the switched access summary usage
data to all subsequent billing companies within 10 days of rendering
the initial xxxx to the IXC. Each company will notify the other when it
is not feasible to meet these requirements so that the customers may be
notified for any necessary revenue accrual associated with the
significantly delayed recording or billing. As business requirements
change data reporting requirements may be modified as necessary.
9.2 In the event that either Party fails to provide switched access
detailed usage data to the other Party within 90 days after the
recording date and the receiving Party is unable to xxxx and/or collect
access revenues due to the sending Party's failure to provide such data
within said time period, then the Party failing to send the data as
specified herein shall be liable to the other Party in an amount equal
to the unbillable or uncollectible revenues. Each Party will provide
complete documentation to the other to substantiate any claim of
unbillable access revenues. A negotiated settlement will be agreed upon
between the Parties.
9.3 Each company will retain for a minimum period of sixty (60) days,
access message detail sufficient to recreate any data which is lost or
damaged by their company or any third party involved in processing or
transporting data.
9.4 Each company agrees to recreate the lost or damaged data within five
(5) days of notification by the other or by an authorized third party
handling the data.
9.5 Each company also agrees to process the recreated data within five (5)
days of receipt at its data processing center.
9.6 All claims should be filed with the other company with 120 days of the
receipt of the date of the unbillable usage.
9.7 The Initial Billing Company shall keep records of its billing
activities relating to jointly-provided Intrastate and Interstate
access services in sufficient detail to permit the Subsequent Billing
Company to, by formal or informal review or
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 26
audit, to verify the accuracy and reasonableness of the
jointly-provided access billing data provided by the Initial billing
Company. Each company agrees to cooperate in such formal or informal
reviews or audits and further agrees to jointly review the findings of
such reviews or audits in order to resolve any differences concerning
the findings thereof.
9.8 The billing percentages shall be calculated by the Parties according to one
of the methodologies specified for such purposes in the MECAB document and
filed by the Parties, if applicable, in the National Exchange Carrier
Association ("NECA") FCC Tariff No. 4.
9.9 Switched Access Traffic shall be defined in accordance with either
Party's Commision approved Access Tariffs.
10. TRANSIT TRAFFIC SERVICE
10.1 Transit Traffic Service is defined as the tandem switching, transport
and delivery by one Party of (1) Local Traffic, IntraLATA Toll Traffic
and InterLATA Toll Traffic originated from the other Party and
terminating to a third party carrier, and (2) Local Traffic, IntraLATA
Toll Traffic and InterLATA Toll Traffic originated from a third party
carrier and terminating to the other Party. The Parties shall provide
Transit Traffic Service to ITC/\DeltaCom in accordance with this
Section 10. Rates for Transit Traffic Service for Local Traffic shall
be the applicable call transport and termination charges for Local
Traffic, as set forth in Attachment 11 to this Agreement. Rates for
Transit Traffic Service for IntraLATA Toll Traffic and InterLATA Toll
Traffic (i.e., Switched Access Traffic) shall be the applicable call
transport and termination charges as set forth in the providing Party's
Intrastate or Interstate switched access tariff, as filed and effective
with the FCC or appropriate State Commission. Billing associated with
all Transit Traffic Service shall be pursuant to MECAB procedures.
Wireless Type 1 traffic shall not be treated as transit traffic from a
routing or billing perspective. Wireless Type 2A traffic from a third
Party carrier to ITC/\DeltaCom shall not be treated as transit traffic
from a routing or billing perspective until the transiting Party and
the wireless carrier have the capability to meet point xxxx properly in
accordance with MECAB guidelines. Where ITC/\DeltaCom has a direct
connection (via a cross connect between collocation spaces in a
BellSouth central office or otherwise) to a third party carrier,
ITC/\DeltaCom and that third party carrier shall not utilize Transit
Traffic Service from BellSouth.
10.2 The delivery of traffic originated by ITC/\DeltaCom which transits the
BellSouth network and is transported to another carrier's network is
excluded from any BellSouth billing guarantees and will be delivered at
the rates as set forth in Attachment 11 to this Agreement.
ITC/\DeltaCom is responsible for establishing any necessary agreements
or the placement of any necessary valid orders with the terminating
carrier for the receipt of this traffic through the BellSouth network.
BellSouth will not be liable for any compensation to the terminating
carrier as a result of providing Transit Traffic Service.
10.3 The Parties shall compensate each other for Transit Traffic Service as
follows:
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 27
10.3.1 For Local Traffic and IntraLATA Toll Traffic originating from
ITC/\DeltaCom that is delivered over the Transit Traffic
Service, ITC/\DeltaCom will pay to BellSouth the applicable
Tandem Switching and/or Interoffice Transport charges set
forth in Attachment 11 to the Agreement. Charges for services
provided by the Parties to a third party carrier(s) shall be
assessed on a meet point basis, consistent with the terms of
Section 9 hereof.
10.3.2 Except as provided in Section 10.3.3 hereafter, transit
charges shall be assessed upon the originating carrier, and
shall not be imposed on the terminating carrier.
10.3.3 Transit charges associated with the provision of toll-free
services (e.g. 800/888/877) shall be imposed upon the
terminating carrier and shall not be assessed on the
originating carrier.
11.0 PACKET SWITCHED NETWORK INTERCONNECTION/FRAME RELAY
The Parties agree to interconnect their local data services networks
for the exchange of Frame Relay Services ("FRS") traffic.
11.1 The following provisions will apply only to Frame Relay Service and
Exchange Access Frame Relay Service in those states where traffic is
being exchanged between ITC/\DeltaCom and BellSouth Frame Relay
Switches in the same LATA.
11.1.1 The Parties agree to establish two-way Frame Relay facilities between
their respective Frame Relay Switches to the mutually-agreed upon Frame
Relay Service point(s) of interconnection ("POIs") within the LATA. All
POIs shall be within the same Frame Relay Network Serving Area as
defined in Section A40 of BellSouth's General Subscriber Services
Tariff.
11.1.2 Upon the request of either Party, such interconnection will be
established where BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom have Frame Relay Switches
in the same LATA. Where there are multiple Frame Relay switches in the
central office of a Party, an interconnection with any one of the
switches will be considered an interconnection with all of the switches
at that central office for purposes of routing packet traffic.
11.1.3 The Parties agree to provision local and IntraLATA Frame Relay Service
and Exchange Access Frame Relay Service (both intrastate and
interstate) over Frame Relay Trunks between the respective Frame Relay
switches and the POIs.
11.1.4 The Parties agree to assess each other reciprocal charges for the
facilities that each provides to the other according to the Percent
Local Circuit Use ("PLCU") factor PLCU, determined as follows:
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 28
(i) Frame Relay framed packet data is transported within
Virtual Circuits ("VC"). For the purposes of calculating the
PLCU, if all the data packets transported within a VC remain
within the LATA, then consistent with the local definitions in
this Agreement, the traffic on that VC is local ("Local VC").
(ii) If the originating and terminating locations of the two
way packet data traffic are not in the same LATA, the traffic
on that VC is interLATA.
(iii) The PLCU shall be determined by dividing the total
number of Local VCs, by the total number of VCs on each Frame
Relay facility at the end of the reporting period. The Parties
agree to renegotiate the method for determining PLCU, at
either Parties' request, and within 90 days, if either Party
notifies the other that it has found that this method does not
adequately represent the PLCU.
(iv) If there are no VCs on a facility when it is billed, the
PLCU will be zero.
11.1.5 BellSouth will provide the Frame Relay Trunk(s) between the Parties'
respective Frame Relay Switches. The Parties will be compensated as
follows- BellSouth will invoice, and ITC/\DeltaCom will pay, the total
non-recurring and recurring charges for the trunk facility.
ITC/\DeltaCom will then invoice, and BellSouth will pay, an amount
calculated by multiplying the BellSouth billed charges for the trunk
facility by one-half of ITC/\DeltaCom's PLCU.
11.1.16 Each Party will provide a Frame Relay network-to-network interface
("NNI") port to the other Party for each trunk facility provided
pursuant to 11.1.5 above. Compensation for NNI ports shall be based
upon the NNI rates set forth in the BellSouth F.C.C Tariff No. 1.
Pursuant to that tariff, ITC/\DeltaCom may select a month-to-month or
term rate structure for the NNI ports BellSouth provides to
ITC/\DeltaCom. Whatever rate structure ITC/\DeltaCom selects shall be
deemed to be the same rate structure that applies to the NNI port
ITC/\DeltaCom provides to BellSouth. There shall be no termination
liability to either party for the local portion of the NNI port as
determined by the ITC/\DeltaCom PLCU at the time of termination.
11.1.7 Compensation for the NNI ports shall be calculated as follows:
11.1.7.1 For NNI ports provided by BellSouth to ITC/\DeltaCom,
BellSouth will invoice, and ITC/\DeltaCom will pay, the
total nonrecurring and recurring charges for the NNI port.
ITC/\DeltaCom will then invoice, and BellSouth will pay, an
amount calculated by
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 29
multiplying the BellSouth billed non-recurring and recurring
charges for the NNI port by one-half of ITC/\DeltaCom's
PLCU.
11.1.7.2 For NNI ports provided by ITC/\DeltaCom to BellSouth,
ITC/\DeltaCom will invoice, and BellSouth will pay, the
total non-recurring and recurring charges for the NNI port.
BellSouth will then invoice, and ITC/\DeltaCom will pay, an
amount determined as follows: ITC/\DeltaCom's combined
interLATA and local usage will be calculated by subtracting
one-half of ITC/\DeltaCom's PLCU factor from one hundred
percent. The difference will then be multiplied by the total
charges initially billed by ITC/\DeltaCom for the NNI port.
BellSouth will then invoice, and ITC/\DeltaCom will pay,
this amount to BellSouth.
11.1.8 A Permanent Virtual Circuit ("PVC") is a logical channel from a frame
relay network interface (e.g., NNI or User Network Interface) to
another frame relay network interface. A PVC is created when a Data
Link Channel Identifier ("DLCI") is mapped together with another DLCI.
Neither Party will charge the other Party any DLCI or Committed
Information Rate ("CIR") charges for the PVC from its Frame Relay
switch to its own subscriber's premises.
11.1.9 For the PVC between the ITC/\DeltaCom and BellSouth Frame Relay
switches, compensation for the DLCI and CIR charges are based upon the
rates in the BellSouth FCC Tariff No. 1. Compensation for PVC and CIR
rate elements shall be calculated as follows:
11.1.10 For PVCs between the BellSouth Frame Relay switch and the
ITC/\DeltaCom Frame Relay switch, BellSouth will invoice, and
ITC/\DeltaCom will pay, the total nonrecurring and recurring DLCI and
CIR charges. If the VC is a Local VC, ITC/\DeltaCom will invoice and
BellSouth will pay, 100% of the DLCI and CIR charges initially billed
by BellSouth for that PVC. If the VC is not local, no compensation
will be paid to ITC/\DeltaCom for the PVC.
11.1.11 Each Party will compensate the other Party for any applicable Feature
Change or Transfer of Service Charges as set forth in BellSouth's
Tariff F.C.C. No. 1. The Parties agree to limit the sum of the CIR for
the VCs on a given NNI port to not more than two times the port speed.
11.1.12 Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement does not address
or alter in any way either Party's provision of Exchange Access Frame
Relay Service or interLATA Frame Relay Service. All charges by each
Party to the other for carriage of Exchange Access Frame Relay Service
or interLATA Frame Relay Service are included in the BellSouth access
tariffs.
Florida
ATTACHMENT 3 PAGE 30
11.1.13 Until such time as BellSouth obtains authority to provide in-region,
interLATA service, ITC/\DeltaCom will identify and report its PLCU to
BellSouth on a quarterly basis.
11.1.14 Either Party may request a review or audit of the various service
components, including but not limited to a Party's determination of
its PLCU, consistent with the provisions of section E2 of the
BellSouth State Access Services tariffs or Section 2 of the BellSouth
FCC No. 1 Tariff.
11.1.15 If during the term of this Agreement, BellSouth obtains authority to
provide in-region, interLATA service, the Parties shall renegotiate
the provisions of Section 11.1.5, 11.1.7, 11.1.8-11.1.10, and 11.1.13
to account for BellSouth's PLCU. In the event the parties are unable
to reach agreement within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date
BellSouth receives interLATA authority, the matter shall be resolved
pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in this
agreement.
11.1.16 If during the term of this Agreement, BellSouth makes available, to an
affiliate or any other telecommunications carrier, Frame Relay
interconnection on rates, terms and conditions different than those
provided for in this Section 11, then ITC/\DeltaCom shall be entitled,
at its option, to replace any part of this Section 11 with such rates,
terms, and conditions.

of the Collocation Space shall be dependent upon the modification
requested and ITC/\DeltaCom will be notified of the applicable fee within
the same time intervals as set forth in Section 6.2 below. Where the
subsequent application does not require provisioning or construction work
by BellSouth, no Subsequent Application Fee will be required and the
prepaid fee shall be refunded to ITC/\DeltaCom. The fee for an application
where the modification requested has limited effect (i.e., does not
require capital expenditure by BellSouth) shall be the Subsequent
Application Fee as set forth In Exhibit A. All other modifications shall
require a Subsequent Application Fee assessed at the applicable
Application Fee. In the event such modifications require the assessment of
a full Application Fee as set forth in Exhibit A, the outstanding balance
shall be due by ITC/\DeltaCom within 30 calendar days following
ITC/\DeltaCom's receipt of a xxxx or invoice from BellSouth.
6.2 APPLICATION RESPONSE. In addition to the notice of space
availability pursuant to Section 2.1, BellSouth will respond within ten
(10) business days of receipt of an Application whether the Application is
Bona Fide, and if it is not Bona Fide, the items necessary to cause the
Application to become Bona Fide. When space has been determined to be
available, BellSouth will provide a comprehensive written response within
thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of a complete application. When
multiple applications are submitted within a fifteen calendar day window
within the same state, BellSouth will respond to the applications as soon
as possible, but no later than the following: within thirty (30) calendar
days for applications 1-5; within thirty-six (36) calendar days for
applications 6-10; within forty-two (42) calendar days for applications
11-15. Response intervals for multiple applications submitted by
ITC/\DeltaCom within the same timeframe for the same state in excess of 15
must be negotiated. All negotiations shall consider the total volume from
all requests from telecommunications companies for collocation. The
Application Response will detail whether the amount of space requested is
available or if the amount of space requested is not available, the amount
of space that is available. The response will also include the
configuration of the space. When
Florida
Attachment 4

Order must be received by BellSouth no later than thirty (30) calendar
days after BellSouth's response to ITC/\DeltaCom's Application/Inquiry. If
ITC/\DeltaCom makes major changes to its application in light of
BellSouth's written Application Response, BellSouth will be required to
re-evaluate and respond to the change(s). In this event, BellSouth's
provisioning interval will not start until the re-evaluation and response
to the change(s) is complete and the Bona Fide Firm Order is received by
BellSouth and all appropriate fees and duties have been executed. If
BellSouth needs to reevaluate ITC/\DeltaCom's application as a result of
changes requested by ITC/\DeltaCom to ITC/\DeltaCom's original application,
then BellSouth will charge ITC/\DeltaCom a fee based upon the additional
engineering hours required to do the reassessment. Major changes such as
requesting additional space or adding additional equipment may require
ITC/\DeltaCom to resubmit the application with an application fee.
6.3.1 BellSouth will establish a firm order date, per
request, based upon the date BellSouth is in receipt of a Bona Fide Firm
Order. BellSouth will acknowledge the receipt of ITC/\DeltaCom's Bona Fide

7.1 NON-RECURRING FEES. In addition to the Application Fee
referenced in Section 6, preceding, ITC/\DeltaCom shall remit payment of a
Cable Installation Fee and one-half (1/2) of the estimated Space
Preparation Fee, as applicable, coincident with submission of a Bona Fide
Firm Order. The outstanding balance of the actual Space Preparation Fee
shall be due thirty (30) calendar days following ITC/\DeltaCom's receipt of
a xxxx or invoice from BellSouth. Once the installation of the initial
equipment arrangement is complete, a subsequent application fee may apply
(as described in Subsection 7.4), when ITC/\DeltaCom requests a
modification to the arrangement.
7.2 DOCUMENTATION. BellSouth shall provide documentation to
establish the actual Space Preparation Fee. The Space Preparation Fee will
be pro rated as prescribed in Section 6, preceding.
7.3 CABLE INSTALLATION. Cable Installation Fee(s) are assessed
per entrance fiber placed.
7.4 FLOOR SPACE. The floor space charge includes reasonable
charges for lighting, heat, air conditioning, ventilation and other
allocated expenses associated with maintenance of the Central Office but
does not include amperage necessary to power ITC/\DeItaCom's equipment.
When the Collocation Space is enclosed, ITC/\DeltaCom shall pay floor space
charges based upon the number of square feet so enclosed. When the
Collocation Space is not enclosed, ITC/\DeItaCom shall pay floor space
charges based upon the following floor space calculation: [(depth of the
equipment lineup in which the rack is placed) + (0.5 x maintenance aisle
depth) + (0.5 x wiring aisle depth)] X (width of rack and spacers). For
purposes of this calculation, the depth of the equipment lineup shall
consider the footprint of equipment racks plus any equipment overhang.
BellSouth will assign unenclosed Collocation Space in conventional
equipment rack lineups where feasible. In the event ITC/\DeltaCom's
collocated equipment requires special cable racking, isolated grounding or
other treatment which prevents placement within conventional equipment
rack lineups, ITC/\DeltaCom shall be required to request an amount of floor
space sufficient to accommodate the total equipment arrangement. Floor
space charges are due beginning with the date on which BellSouth releases
the Collocation Space for occupancy or on the date ITC/\DeltaCom first
occupies the Collocation Space, whichever is sooner.
7.5 POWER. BellSouth shall supply --48 Volt (-48V) DC power for
ITC/\DeltaCom's Collocation Space within the central office premises and
shall make available AC power at ITC/\DeltaCom's option for Adjacent

ampere per month based upon the certified vendor engineered and installed
power feed fused ampere capacity. Rates include redundant feeder fuse
positions (A&B) and cable rack to ITC/\DeltaCom's equipment or space
enclosure. When obtaining power from a BellSouth Battery Distribution Fuse
Bay, fuses and power cables (A&B) must be engineered (sized), furnished
and installed by ITC/\DeltaCom's certified vendor. When obtaining power
from a BellSouth Power Board, power cables (A&B) must be engineered
(sized), furnished and installed by ITC/\DeltaCom's certified power vendor.
ITC/\DeltaCom's certified vendor must also provide a copy of the
engineering power specification prior to the Commencement Date. In the
event BellSouth shall be required to construct additional DC power plant
or upgrade the existing DC power plant in a Central Office as a result of
ITC/\DeltaCom's request to collocate in that Central Office ("Power
Attachment 4
15
Plant Construction"), ITC/\DeltaCom shall pay its pro-rata share of costs
associated with the Power Plant Construction. The determination of whether
Power Plant Construction is necessary shall be within BellSouth's sole,
but reasonable, discretion. BellSouth shall comply with all BellCore
(Telcordia) and ANSI Standards regarding power cabling, including BellCore
(Telcordia) Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) StandardGR-63-CORE.
BellSouth will notify ITC/\DeltaCom of the need for the Power Plant
Construction and will estimate the costs associated with the Power Plant
Construction if BellSouth were to perform the Power Plant Construction.
The costs of power plant construction shall be pro-rated and shared among
all who benefit from that construction. ITC/\DeltaCom shall pay BellSouth
one-half of its prorata share of the estimated Power Plant Construction
costs prior to commencement of the work. ITC/\DeltaCom shall pay BellSouth
the balance due (actual cost less one-half of the estimated cost) within
thirty (30) days of completion of the Power Plant Construction.
ITC/\DeltaCom has the option to perform the Power Plant Construction
itself; provided, however, that such work shall be performed by a
BellSouth certified contractor and such contractor shall comply with
BellSouth's guidelines and specifications. Where the Power Plant
Construction results in construction of a new power plant room, upon
termination of this Agreement ITC/\DeltaCom shall have the right to remove
its equipment from the power plant room, but shall otherwise leave the
room intact. Where the Power Plant Construction results in an upgrade to
BellSouth's existing power plant, upon termination of this Attachment,
such upgrades shall become the property of BellSouth.
7.5.2 Charges for AC power will be assessed per breaker
ampere per month based upon the certified vendor engineered and installed
power feed fused ampere capacity. Rates include the provision of
commercial and standby AC power. When obtaining power from a BellSouth
Distribution Fuse Bay, Power Board or Service Panel, fuses and power
cables must be engineered (sized), furnished and installed by
ITC/\DeltaCom's certified vendor. ITC/\DeltaCom's certified vendor must also
provide a copy of the engineering power specification prior to the
Commencement Date. Charges for AC power shall be assessed pursuant to the
rates specified in Exhibit A. AC power voltage and phase ratings shall be
determined on a per location basis.
7.6 SECURITY ESCORT. A security escort will be required as set
forth in Section 5.8. ITC/\DeltaComRates for a security escort are assessed
in one-half (1/2) hour increments according to the schedule appended
hereto as Exhibit A.
7.7 RATE "TRUE-UP." The Parties agree that the prices reflected
as interim herein shall be "trued-up" (up or down) based on final prices
either determined by further agreement or by an effective order, in a
proceeding involving BellSouth before the regulatory authority for the
state in which the services are being performed or any other body having
jurisdiction over this agreement (hereinafter "Commission"). Under the
"true-up" process, the interim price for each service shall be multiplied
by the volume of that service purchased to arrive at the total interim
amount paid for that service ("Total Interim Price"). The final price for
that service shall be multiplied by the volume purchased to arrive at the
total final amount due ("Total Final Price"). The Total Interim Price
shall be compared with the Total Final Price. If the Total Final Price is
more than the Total Interim Price, ITC/\DeltaCom shall pay the difference
to BellSouth. If the Total Final Price is less than the Total Interim
Price, BellSouth shall pay the difference to ITC/\DeltaCom. Each party
shall keep its own records upon which a "true-up" can be based and any
final payment from one party to the other shall be in an amount agreed
upon by the Parties based on such records. In the event of any
disagreement as between the records or
Florida
Attachment 4
16
the Parties regarding the amount of such "true-up," the Parties agree that
the Commission shall be called upon to resolve such differences.
7.8 OTHER. If no rate is identified in the contract, the rate for
the specific service or function will be negotiated by the parties upon
request by either party. Payment of all other charges under this Agreement
shall be due thirty (30) days after receipt of the xxxx (payment due

damage, to terminate this Attachment, and if either party shall so elect,
by giving the other written notice of termination, both parties shall
stand released of and from
Florida
Attachment 4
20
further liability under the terms hereof. If the Collocation Space shall
suffer only minor damage and shall not be rendered wholly unsuitable for
ITC/\DeltaCom's permitted use, or is damaged and the option to terminate is
not exercised by either party, BellSouth covenants and agrees to proceed
promptly without expense to ITC/\DeltaCom, except for improvements not the
property of BellSouth, to repair the damage. BellSouth shall have a
reasonable time within which to rebuild or make any repairs, and such
rebuilding and repairing shall be subject to delays caused by storms,
shortages of labor and materials, government regulations, strikes,
walkouts, and causes beyond the control of BellSouth, which causes shall
not be construed as limiting factors, but as exemplary only. ITC/\DeltaCom
may, at its own expense, accelerate the rebuild of its collocated space
and equipment provided however that a certified vendor is used and the
necessary space preparation has been completed. Rebuild of equipment must
be performed by a BellSouth Certified Vendor. If ITC/\DeltaCom's
acceleration of the project increases the cost of the project, then those
additional charges will be incurred by ITC/\DeltaCom. Where allowed and
where practical, ITC/\DeltaCom may erect a temporary facility while
BellSouth rebuilds or makes repairs. In all cases where the Collocation
Space shall be rebuilt or repaired, ITC/\DeltaCom shall be entitled to an
equitable abatement of rent and other charges, depending upon the
unsuitability of the Collocation Space for ITC/\DeltaCom's permitted use,
until such Collocation Space is fully repaired and restored and
ITC/\DeltaCom's equipment installed therein (but in no event later than
thirty (30) days after the Collocation Space is fully repaired and
restored) Where ITC/\DeltaCom has placed an Adjacent Arrangement pursuant
to section 3.4, ITC/\DeltaCom shall have the sole responsibility to repair
or replace said Adjacent Arrangement provided herein. Pursuant to this
section, BellSouth will restore the associated services to the Adjacent
Arrangement.
13. EMINENT DOMAIN
13.1 If the whole of a Collocation Space shall be taken by any
public authority under the power of eminent domain, then this Attachment
shall terminate as of the day possession shall be taken by such public
authority and rent and other charges for the Collocation Space shall be
paid up to that day with proportionate refund by BellSouth of such rent
and charges as may have been paid in advance for a period subsequent to
the date of the taking. If any part of the Collocation Space shall be
taken under eminent domain, BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom shall each have the
right to terminate this Attachment and declare the same null and void, by
written notice of such intention to the other party within ten (10) days
after such taking.
14. NONEXCLUSIVITY
14.1 ITC/\DeltaCom understands that this Agreement is not
exclusive and that BellSouth may enter into similar agreements with other
parties. Assignment of space pursuant to all such agreements shall be
determined by space availability and made on a first come, first served
basis.
15. NOTICES
15.1 Except as otherwise provided herein, any notices or demands
that are required by law or under the terms of this Agreement shall be
given or made by ITC/\DeltaCom or BellSouth in writing and shall be given

ACCESS TO NUMBERS AND NUMBER PORTABILITY
1.0 Non-Discriminatory Access to Telephone Numbers
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or otherwise
adversely affect in any manner either Party's right to employ, or to
request and be assigned, any Central Office (NXX) Codes pursuant to the
Central Office Code Assignment Guidelines, as may be amended from time
to time, or to establish by Tariff or otherwise, Rate Center and Rating
Points corresponding to such NXX Codes. BellSouth will provide number
portability to ITC/\DeltaCom and their customers with minimum
impairment of functionality, quality, reliability and convenience.
1.1 During the term of this Agreement, the Parties shall contact Lockheed
Xxxxxx for the assignment of numbering resources. In order to be
assigned a Central Office Code, the Parties will be required to
complete the Central Office Code (NXX) Assignment Request and
Confirmation Form (Code Request Form) in accordance with Industry
Numbering Committee's Central Office Code (NXX) Assignment Guidelines
(INC 95-0407-008).
1.2 It shall be the responsibility of each Party to
program and update its own switches and network
systems in accordance with the Local Exchange Routing
Guide ("LERG") in order to recognize and route
traffic to the other Party's assigned NXX Codes at
all times.
2.0 Local Number Portability
2.1 The Parties shall provide Local Number Portability ("LNP") on a
reciprocal basis to each other to the extent technically feasible, and
in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations as prescribed
from time to time by the FCC and/or the Commission.
2.2 Local Number Portability
2.2.1 Deployment of LNP. LNP allows End Users to keep their
existing Telephone Line Numbers ("TLNs") when switching LECs. The
Parties shall implement and deploy the Location Routing Number
("LRN") solution for permanent LNP in accordance with orders,
rulings and policies regarding LNP issued by the North American
Numbering Committee ("NANC"), the FCC and applicable state
commissions, including without limitation, the FCC prescribed
permanent LNP geographic deployment schedules.
2.2.2 Description of LNP. LNP uses the industry standard LRN that
assigns a unique 10-digit number to each Wire Center. To support
LNP, LRN data is stored, and LNP is provisioned on Advanced
Intelligent Network ("AIN") elements that replace the dialed TLN
with the LRN so that LNP calls can be routed to the proper Wire
Center for connection to the dialed party. To obtain the LRN data
and properly provision LNP services, carriers must be connected
to independently
ATTACHMENT 5
PAGE 2
operated Regional Number Portability Administration Centers
("NPACs") which will manage LNP services and provide LNP call
routing data to carriers.
2.2.3 Once LNP is implemented, either Party will withdraw its
Interim Number Portability ("INP") offerings, subject to (i)
provision of reasonable advance notice to the other Party; and
(ii) coordination to allow the seamless and transparent
conversion of INP customers to LNP. Once LNP is implemented in an
end office pursuant to FCC or state Commission orders, rules or
regulations, with advance written notice, either Party must
withdraw its INP offerings. The transition from existing INP
arrangements to LNP shall occur within 120 days from the date LNP
is implemented in the end office serving the telephone number.
Neither Party shall charge the other Party for conversion from
INP to LNP. The Parties shall comply with any INP/LNP transition
processes established by the FCC and State Commissions and
appropriate industry number portability work groups.
2.2.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that
the FCC has determined once LNP has been deployed pursuant to the
FCC's orders, rules and regulations, that all local exchange
carriers (LECs) have the duty to provide LNP. Therefore, either
Party, at any time, may seek appropriate legal or regulatory
relief concerning the transition from INP to LNP or other related
issues.
2.2.5 CHARGES. The Parties agree to compensate each other for
providing LNP in accordance with pertinent rules, orders and
charges adopted or approved by the FCC, and effective Tariffs
filed in accordance with such FCC requirements. Such charges
shall be itemized and clearly designated as "LNP charges."
2.2.6 The Parties will exchange SS7 TCAP messages as required for
the implementation of Customer Local Area Signaling Services
(CLASS) or other features available.
2.3. INTERIM NUMBER PORTABILITY
2.3.1 SERVICE PROVIDER NUMBER PORTABILITY
2.3.1.1 DEFINITION. Until an industry-wide permanent solution
can be achieved, BellSouth shall provide Service Provider
Number Portability ("SPNP"). SPNP is an interim service
arrangement whereby an end user who switches subscription of
his local exchange service from BellSouth to ITC/\DeltaCom, or
vice versa, is permitted to retain the use of his existing
assigned telephone number, provided that the end user remains
at the same location for his local exchange service. or
changes locations and service providers but stays within the
same serving wire center of his existing number.
2.3.1.2 METHODS OF PROVIDING NUMBER PORTABILITY. SPNP is
available through either remote call forwarding or direct
inward dialing trunks, at the election of ITC/\DeltaCom.
Remote call forwarding (SPNP-RCF) is an existing switch-based
ATTACHMENT 5
PAGE 3
BellSouth service that redirects calls within the telephone
network. Direct inward dialing trunks (SPNP-DID) allow calls
to be routed over a dedicated facility to the ITC/\DeltaCom
switch that serves the subscriber. SS7 Signaling is required
for the provision of either of these services.
2.3.2 SPNP-DID is available from BellSouth on a per DS0, DS1, or DS3
basis. Where SPNP-DID is technically feasible and is provided
on a DS1 or a DS3 basis, the applicable channelization rates
are those specified in Attachment 11 hereto, incorporated
herein by this reference. SPNP is available only for basic
local exchange service.
2.4 SPNP is available only where ITC/\DeltaCom or BellSouth is currently
providing, or will begin providing concurrent with provision of SPNP,
basic local exchange service to the affected end user. SPNP for a
particular telephone number is available only from the central office
originally providing local exchange service to the end user. SPNP for a
particular assigned telephone number will be disconnected when any end
user, Commission, BellSouth, or ITC/\DeltaCom initiated activity (e.g.,
a change in exchange boundaries) would normally result in a telephone
number change had the end user retained his initial local exchange
service.
2.4.1 SPNP-RCF, as contemplated by this Agreement, is a
telecommunications service whereby a call dialed to an SPNP-RCF
equipped telephone number is automatically forwarded to an
assigned seven- or ten- digit telephone number within the local
calling area as defined in BellSouth's General Subscriber
Services Tariff. The forwarded-to number shall be specified by
ITC/\DeltaCom or BellSouth, as appropriate. The forwarding
company will provide identification of the originating telephone
number, via SS7 signaling, to the receiving Party. Identification
of the originating telephone number to the SPNP-RCF end user
cannot be guaranteed, however. SPNP-RCF provides a single call
path for the forwarding of no more than one simultaneous call to
the receiving Party's specified forwarded-to number. Additional
call paths for the forwarding of multiple simultaneous calls are
available on a per path basis at separate rates in addition to
the rates for SPNP-RCF.
2.4.2 SPNP-DID service, as contemplated by this Agreement,
provides trunk side access to end office switches for direct
inward dialing to the other company's premises equipment from the
telecommunications network to lines associated with the other
company's switching equipment and must be provided on all trunks
in a group arranged for inward service. A SPNP-DID trunk
termination charge, provided with SS7 Signaling only, applies for
each trunk voice grade equivalent. In addition, direct facilities
are required from the end office where a ported number resides to
the end office serving the ported end user customer. The rates
for a switched local channel and switched dedicated transport
apply as contained in Attachment 11 hereto. Transport mileage
will be calculated as the airline distance between the end office
where the number is ported and the Point of Interface ("POI")
using the V&H coordinate method. SPNP-DID must be
ATTACHMENT 5
PAGE 4
established with a minimum configuration of two channels and one
unassigned telephone number per switch, per arrangement for
control purposes. Transport facilities arranged for SPNP-DID may
not be mixed with any other type of trunk group, with no outgoing
calls placed over said facilities. SPNP-DID will be provided only
where such facilities are available and where the switching
equipment of the ordering company is properly equipped. Where
SPNP-DID service is required from more than one wire center or
from separate trunk groups within the same wire center, such
service provided from each wire center or each trunk group within
the same wire center shall be considered a separate service. Only
customer-dialed sent-paid calls will be completed to the first
number of a SPNP-DID number group; however, there are no
restrictions on calls completed to other numbers of a SPNP-DID
number group. Interface group arrangements provided for
terminating the switched transport at the Party's terminal
location are as set forth in of BellSouth's Intrastate Access
Services Tariff, ss. E6.1.3.A as amended from time to time.
2.4.3 The calling Party shall be responsible for payment of the
applicable charges for sent-paid calls to the SPNP number. For
collect, third-Party, or other operator-assisted non-sent paid
calls to the ported telephone number, BellSouth or ITC/\DeltaCom
shall be responsible for the payment of charges under the same
terms and conditions for which the end user would have been
liable for those charges. Either company may request that the
other block collect and third company non-sent paid calls to the
SPNP-assigned telephone number. If a company does not request
blocking, the other company will provide itemized local usage
data for the billing of non-sent paid calls on the monthly xxxx
of usage charges provided at the individual end user account
level. The detail will include itemization of all billable usage.
Each company shall have the option of receiving this usage data
on a daily basis via a data file transfer arrangement. This
arrangement will utilize the existing industry uniform standard,
known as EMI standards, for exchange of billing data. Files of
usage data will be created daily for the optional service. Usage
originated and recorded in the sending BellSouth XXX will be
provided in unrated or rated format, depending on processing
system. ITC/\DeltaCom usage originated elsewhere and delivered
via CMDS to the sending BellSouth XXX shall be provided in rated
format.
2.4.4 Each company shall be responsible for obtaining
authorization from the end user for the handling of the
disconnection of the end user's service, the provision of new
local service and the provision of SPNP services. Each company
shall be responsible for coordinating the provision of service
with the other to assure that its switch is capable of accepting
SPNP ported traffic. Each company shall be responsible for
providing equipment and facilities that are compatible with the
other's service parameters, interfaces, equipment and facilities
and shall be required to provide sufficient terminating
facilities and services at the terminating end of an SPNP call to
adequately handle all traffic to that location and shall be
solely responsible to ensure that its facilities, equipment and
services do not interfere with or impair any facility, equipment,
or service of the other company or
ATTACHMENT 5
PAGE 5
any of its end users. In the event that either company determines
in its reasonable judgment that the other company will likely
impair or is impairing, or interfering with any equipment,
facility or service or any of its end users, that company may
either refuse to provide SPNP service or may terminate SPNP
service to the other Party after providing appropriate notice.
2.4.5 Each company shall be responsible for providing an
appropriate intercept announcement service for any telephone
numbers subscribed to SPNP services for which it is not presently
providing local exchange service or terminating to an end user.
Where either company chooses to disconnect or terminate any SPNP
service, that company shall be responsible for designating the
preferred standard type of announcement to be provided.
2.4.6 Each company shall be the other company's single point of
contact for all repair calls on behalf of each company's end
user. Each company reserves the right to contact the other
company's customers if deemed necessary for maintenance purposes.
2.4.7 Neither company shall be responsible for adverse effects on
any service, facility or equipment from the use of SPNP services.
End-to-end transmission characteristics may vary depending on the
distance and routing necessary to complete calls over SPNP
facilities and the fact that another carrier is involved in the
provisioning of service. Therefore, end-to-end transmission
characteristics cannot be specified by either company for such
calls. Neither company shall be responsible to the other if any
necessary change in protection criteria or in any of the
facilities, operation, or procedures of either renders any
facilities provided by the other company obsolete or renders
necessary modification of the other company's equipment.
2.4.8 For terminating IXC traffic ported to either Party which
requires use of either Party's 's tandem switching, the tandem
provider will xxxx the IXC tandem switching and its portion of
the transport, and the other Party will xxxx the IXC local
switching, the carrier common line, the interconnection charge,
and its portion of the transport. If the tandem provider is
unable to provide the necessary access records to permit the
other company to xxxx the IXC directly for terminating access to
ported numbers, then the tandem provider will xxxx the IXC full
terminating switched access charges at the tandem provider's
rate, keep the, tandem switching and its portion of transport,
and remit the local switching, the interconnection charge, the
other Party's portion of transport at the tandem provider's rate,
CCL revenues to the other Party. If an intraLATA toll call is
delivered, the delivering Party will pay terminating access rates
to the other Party. This subsection does not apply in cases where
SPNP-DID is utilized for number portability.
2.4.9 If, through an effective order, the Federal Communications
Commission ("FCC") issues regulations pursuant to 47 U.S.C. ss.
251 to require number portability different than that provided
pursuant to this section, the Parties will comply with any such
order.
ATTACHMENT 5
PAGE 6
2.4.10 Charges for INP shall be as specified in Attachment 11,
provided that interim rates will be replaced or trued-up in
accordance with regulatory requirements.
2.5 INP Requirements
2.5.1 Either Party shall notify the other of any technical or
capacity limitations that would prevent use of a requested INP
implementation in a particular End Office or Wire Center.
2.5.2 Either Party shall pass all Calling Party Number ("CPN") or
Automatic Number Identification ("ANI") information to and from
the ported number, whenever technically feasible.
2.5.3 BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom shall cooperate in resolving all
service calls involving the other Party's service, to avoid
unnecessary service outages.
2.6 LNP Cutover Procedures.
2.6.1 BellSouth will ensure that the disconnect order is
completed for all ported numbers once the NPAC notification of
ITC/\DeltaCom's Activate Subscription Version has been received
by BellSouth. If BellSouth receives such notice by 12:00 noon, it
will complete the disconnect the same business day. If BellSouth
receives such notice after 12:00 noon, it will complete the
disconnect the next business day.
2.6.2 For an LNP Coordinated Cutover Environment (where the loop is
being purchased by ITC/\DeltaCom as an unbundled Network Element
at the time of LNP implementation), BellSouth shall use best
efforts to update switch translations, where necessary, within
fifteen (15) minutes after receiving the activate message from
NPAC. For an LNP Non-Coordinated Cutover Environment (where the
Loop is supplied by ITC/\DeltaCom) BellSouth shall use best
efforts to update switch translations, where necessary, within
fifteen (15) minutes after receiving the activate message from
NPAC.
2.7 Number Portability Through NXX Migration
2.7.1 Where either Party has activated an entire NXX for a single
End User, or activated 25% or more of the numbers available in an
NXX for a single End User with the remaining numbers in that NXX
either reserved for future use or otherwise unused, if such End
User chooses to receive service from the other Party, the other
Party shall cooperate with the second Party to have the entire
NXX reassigned in the Local Exchange Routing Guide ("LERG") (and

ORDERING AND PROVISIONING
1. ORDERING AND PROVISIONING
1.1 BellSouth shall provide ordering and provisioning services to
ITC/\DeltaCom that are equal to the ordering and provisioning services
BellSouth provides to itself, any affiliates or subsidiaries or any
other CLEC where technically feasible and shall provide reasonable
assistance to ITC/\DeltaCom as necessary for ITC/\DeltaCom to
understand how to implement and use all of the OSS functions available
to it. BellSouth shall provide information, assistance and access to
training at rates as may be specified by BellSouth as necessary to
provide ITC/\DeltaCom with nondiscriminatory access to BellSouth's OSS.
BellSouth shall make available one free seat per year for each OSS
system (e.g. LENS, TAG, EDI, and TAFI). Additional training shall be
available at rates specified by BellSouth. BellSouth shall provide
ITC/\DeltaCom with nondiscriminatory access to its Operations Support
Systems ("OSS") as necessary to access pre-ordering information, place
orders, and obtain maintenance and repair, of both Resale Services and
Unbundled Network Elements ("UNEs"). Detailed guidelines for ordering
and pre-ordering are set forth in the Ordering Guide for manual
ordering and the Local Exchange Ordering Guide for electronic ordering.
Except where otherwise required by Commission order, where practicable,
BellSouth will notify ITC/\DeltaCom of changes to ordering and
preordering interfaces and business rules via the appropriate BellSouth
web site thirty days prior to such changes. Where thirty (30) days
advance notice is not practicable, BellSouth will use its best efforts
to provide such notification via the appropriate web site within one
(1) day of BellSouth's decision to implement the changes or as soon as
possible. In addition, BellSouth will use its best efforts, through the
account team assigned to ITC/\DeltaCom and upon ITC/\DeltaCom's
request, to provide such notices via e-mail to the address specified by
ITC/\DeltaCom.
1.2 All changes implemented by the Change Control Process ("CCP") shall be
followed by the Parties. Upon request of ITC/\DeltaCom for electronic
access to the pre-ordering, ordering/provisioning, maintenance/repair
and billing functions described herein, BellSouth shall make available
to ITC/\DeltaCom the following interfaces, without limitation: (i) for
ordering, an electronic interface utilizing the Electronic Data
Interchange ("EDI") protocol, consistent with the most recent industry
standards for such systems established by the Ordering and Billing
Forum ("OBF") and the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry
Solutions ("ATIS") as determined by the Electronic Interface Change
Control Process ("EICCP"); (ii) for pre-ordering and ordering, a
-human-to-machine interface known as the Local Exchange Navigation
System ("LENS"), and the machine-to-machine interface known as
Telecommunications Access Gateway ("TAG"); (iii) facsimile-based and
e-mail-based interfaces; (iv) BellSouth's Trouble Analysis and
Facilitation Interface ("TAFI"), T I /M I machine-to-machine interface,
and Electronic Communication Trouble Administration ("ECTA") interface
for maintenance and repair; or (v) any other mutually agreeable method.
Each such interface shall be made available to support the ordering of
both Resale services and UNEs (provided that as of the date hereof LENS
does not support UNE ordering), and

4.6.18 USE OF FACILITIES. When a customer of a ITC/\DeltaCom elects
to discontinue service and transfer service to another local
exchange carrier, including BellSouth, BellSouth shall have
the right to reuse the facilities provided to CLEC by
BellSouth for retail or resale service, unbundled loop and/or
unbundled port for that customer. In addition, BellSouth may
disconnect and reuse facilities when the facility is in a
denied state and BellSouth has received an order to establish
new service or transfer of service from a customer or a
customer's CLEC at the same address served by the denied
facility. In the event of such reuse of facilities, BellSouth
and ITC/\DeltaCom shall coordinate such transition to avoid
any service outage to the end users.
4.6.18.1 Upon receipt of a service order, BellSouth will do the
following:
4.6.18.1.1 Process disconnect and reconnect orders to

ability to have BellSouth end offices AIN triggers initiated
via an electronic service order from ITC/\DeltaCom.
4.6.21 ITC/\DeltaCom may order from BellSouth multiple individual
UNEs on a single order without the need for ITC/\DeltaCom to
send an order for each such UNE, if such UNEs are (i) for a
single type of service, (ii) for a single location and (iii)
for the same account.
4.6.22 BellSouth shall recognize ITC/\DeltaCom as the Customer of
Record for all UNEs ordered by ITC/\DeltaCom and shall send
all notices, invoices and pertinent Customer information
directly to ITC/\DeltaCom.
4.6.23 Within two (2) hours of ITC/\DeltaCom's request, BellSouth
shall use its best efforts to perform cooperative testing with
ITC/\DeltaCom (including trouble shooting to isolate any
problems) to test UNEs purchased by ITC/\DeltaCom in order to
identify any performance problems.
4.6.24 Order Flow Through. Order Flow Through is defined as the
process whereby ITC/\DeltaCom's orders are transmitted
electronically through the gateway and accepted into
BellSouth's back office order systems without manual
intervention.
4.6.25 BellSouth will provide ITC/\DeltaCom with one line equipped
for Remote Call Forwarding in certain BellSouth switches as
set forth in this Section for ITC/\DeltaCom's use solely to
conduct verification testing of routing and translations
instructions in BellSouth's switches. Such verification is
intended to confirm that BellSouth has implemented proper
routing and translation instructions in the BellSouth switch
so that calls from end users served by such BellSouth switch
will be properly routed to NXX codes assigned to
ITC/\DeltaCom's switch. The Remote Call Forwarding line will
be equipped with one call path. Provision of such lines will
generally coincide with ITC/\DeltaCom's installation of new
switches where ITC/\DeltaCom assigns new NXX codes to such
switches. In such cases, the Remote Call Forwarding lines will
be provided to ITC/\DeltaCom in sufficient time for
ITC/\DeltaCom to perform its verification testing prior to NXX
code activation. Thereafter, ITC/\DeltaCom may use the Remote
Call Forwarding lines to perform NXX code verification
testing. Remote Call Forwarding lines will also be provided to
ITC/\DeltaCom as needed for verification testing relating to
existing switches. ITC/\DeltaCom will pay the same non-
recurring and recurring rates for these Remote Call Forwarding
lines as ITC/\DeltaCom pays for Remote Call Forwarding used in
conjunction with Interim Number Portability as set forth in
Attachment 11 of this Agreement.

1.0 PURPOSE
In the unlikely event of a disaster occurring that affects BellSouth's long-term
ability to deliver traffic to a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC),
general procedures have been developed to hasten the recovery process. Since
each location is different and could be affected by an assortment of potential
problems, a detailed recovery plan is impractical. However, in the process of
reviewing recovery activities for specific locations, some basic procedures
emerge that appear to be common in most cases.
These general procedures should apply to any disaster that affects the delivery
of traffic for an extended time period. Each CLEC will be given the same parity
consideration during an outage and service will be restored as quickly as
possible.
This document will cover the basic recovery procedures that would apply to every
CLEC.
2.0 SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT
When a problem is experienced, regardless of the severity, the BellSouth Network
Management Center (NMC) will observe traffic anomalies and begin monitoring the
situation. Controls will be appropriately applied to insure the sanity of
BellSouth's network; and, in the event that a switch or facility node is lost,
the NMC will attempt to circumvent the failure using available reroutes.
BellSouth's NMC will remain in control of the restoration efforts until the
problem has been identified as being a long-term outage. At that time, the NMC
will contact BellSouth's Emergency Control Center (ECC) and relinquish control
of the recovery efforts. Even though the ECC may take charge of the situation,
the NMC will continue to monitor the circumstances and restore traffic as soon
as damaged network elements are revitalized.
THE TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR THE BELLSOUTH NETWORK MANAGEMENT CENTER IN
ATLANTA, AS PUBLISHED IN TELCORDIA'S NATIONAL NETWORK MANAGEMENT DIRECTORY, IS
000-000-0000. THE TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR ITC/\DeltaCom's Switch Control Center is
000-000-0000.
3.0 IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM
During the early stages of problem detection, the NMC will be able to tell which
CLECs are affected by the catastrophe. Further analysis and/or first hand
observation will determine if the disaster has affected CLEC equipment only;
BellSouth equipment only or a combination. The initial restoration activity will
be largely determined by the equipment that is affected.
Once the nature of the disaster is determined and after verifying the cause of
the problem, the NMC will initiate reroutes and/or transfers that are jointly
agreed upon by the affected CLECs' Network Management Center and the BellSouth
NMC. The type and percentage of controls used will depend upon available network
capacity. Controls necessary to stabilize the situation will be invoked and the
NMC will attempt to re-establish as much traffic as possible.
EXHIBIT A
OF ATTACHMENT 6
PAGE 4
For long term outages, recovery efforts will be coordinated by the Emergency
Control Center (ECC). Traffic controls will continue to be applied by the NMC
until facilities are re-established. As equipment is made available for service,
the ECC will instruct the NMC to begin removing the controls and allow traffic
to resume.
3.1 SITE CONTROL
In the total loss of building use scenario, what likely exists will be a smoking
pile of rubble. This rubble will contain many components which could be
dangerous. It could also contain any personnel on the premises at the time of
the disaster. For these reasons, the local fire marshal with the assistance of
the police will control the site until the building is no longer a threat to
surrounding properties and the companies have secured the site from the general
public.
During this time, the majority owner of the building should be arranging for a
demolition contractor to mobilize to the site with the primary objective of
reaching the cable entrance facility for a damage assessment. The results of
this assessment would then dictate immediate plans for restoration, both short
term and permanent.
In a less catastrophic event, i.e., the building is still standing and the cable
entrance facility is usable, the situation is more complex. The site will
initially be controlled by local authorities until the threat to adjacent
property has diminished. Once the site is returned to the control of the
companies, the following events should occur.
An initial assessment of the main building infrastructure systems (mechanical,
electrical, fire & life safety, elevators, and others) will establish building
needs. Once these needs are determined, the majority owner should lead the
building restoration efforts. There may be situations where the site will not be
totally restored within the confines of the building. The companies must
individually determine their needs and jointly assess the cost of permanent
restoration to determine the overall plan of action.
Multiple restoration trailers from each company will result in the need for
designated space and installation order. This layout and control is required to
maximize the amount of restoration equipment that can be placed at the site, and
the priority of placements.
Care must be taken in this planning to insure other restoration efforts have
logistical access to the building. Major components of telephone and building
equipment will need to be removed and replaced. A priority for this equipment
must also be jointly established to facilitate overall site restoration.
(Example: If the AC switchgear has sustained damage, this would be of the
highest priority in order to regain power, lighting, and HVAC throughout the
building.)
If the site will not accommodate the required restoration equipment, the
companies would then need to quickly arrange with local authorities for street
closures, rights of way or other possible options available.
EXHIBIT A
OF ATTACHMENT 6
PAGE 5
3.2 ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
In the worse case scenario, many environmental concerns must be addressed. Along
with the police and fire marshal, the state environmental protection department
will be on site to monitor the situation.
Items to be concerned with in a large central office building could include:
1. Emergency engine fuel supply. Damage to the standby equipment and
the fuel handling equipment could have created "spill" conditions that
have to be handled within state and federal regulations.
2. Asbestos containing materials that may be spread throughout the
wreckage. Asbestos could be in many components of building, electrical,
mechanical, outside plant distribution, and telephone systems.
3. Lead and acid. These materials could be present in potentially large
quantities depending upon the extent of damage to the power room.
4. Mercury and other regulated compounds resident in telephone
equipment.
5. Other compounds produced by the fire or heat.
Once a total loss event occurs at a large site, local authorities will control
immediate clean up (water placed on the wreckage by the fire department) and
site access.
At some point, the companies will become involved with local authorities in the
overall planning associated with site clean up and restoration. Depending on the
clean up approach taken, delays in the restoration of several hours to several
days may occur.
In a less severe disaster, items listed above are more defined and can be
addressed individually depending on the damage.
In each case, the majority owner should coordinate building and environmental
restoration as well as maintain proper planning and site control.
4.0 THE EMERGENCY CONTROL CENTER (ECC)
The ECC is located in the Colonnade Building in Birmingham, Alabama. During an
emergency, the ECC staff will convene a group of pre-selected experts to
inventory the damage and initiate corrective actions. These experts have
regional access to BellSouth's personnel and equipment and will assume control
of the restoration activity anywhere in the nine state area.
EXHIBIT A
OF ATTACHMENT 6
PAGE 6
In the past, the ECC has been involve with restoration activities resulting from
hurricanes, ice storms and floods. They have demonstrated their capabilities
during these calamities as well as during outages caused by human error or
equipment failures. This group has an excellent record of restoring service as
quickly as possible.
During a major disaster, the ECC may move emergency equipment to the affected
location, direct recovery efforts of local personnel and coordinate service
restoration activities with the CLECs. The ECC will attempt to restore service
as quickly as possible using whatever means are available; leaving permanent
solutions, such as the replacement of damaged buildings or equipment, for local
personnel to administer.
Part of the ECC's responsibility, after temporary equipment is in place, is to
support the NMC efforts to return service to the CLECs. Once service has been
restored, the ECC will return control of the network to normal operational
organizations. Any long-term changes required after service is restored will be
made in an orderly fashion and will be conducted as normal activity.
5.0 RECOVERY PROCEDURES
The nature and severity of any disaster will influence the recovery procedures.
One crucial factor in determining how BellSouth will proceed with restoration is
whether or not BellSouth's equipment is incapacitated. Regardless of who's
equipment is out of service, BellSouth will move as quickly as possible to aid
with service recovery; however, the approach that will be taken may differ
depending upon the location of the problem.
5.1 CLEC OUTAGE
For a problem limited to one CLEC (or a building with multiple CLECs), BellSouth
has several options available for restoring service quickly. For those CLECs
that have agreements with other CLECs, BellSouth can immediately start directing
traffic to a provisional CLEC for completion. This alternative is dependent upon
BellSouth having concurrence from the affected CLECs.
Whether or not the affected CLECs have requested a traffic transfer to another
CLEC will not impact BellSouth's resolve to re-establish traffic to the original
destination as quickly as possible.
5.2 BELLSOUTH OUTAGE
Because BellSouth's equipment has varying degrees of impact on the service
provided to the CLECs, restoring service from damaged BellSouth equipment is
different. The outage will probably impact a number of Carriers simultaneously.
However, the ECC will be able to initiate immediate actions to correct the
problem.
EXHIBIT A
OF ATTACHMENT 6
PAGE 7
A disaster involving any of BellSouth's equipment locations could impact the
CLECs, some more than others. A disaster at a Central Office (CO) would only
impact the delivery of traffic to and from that one location, but the incident
could affect many Carriers. If the Central Office is a Serving Wire Center
(SWC), then traffic from the entire area to those Carriers served from that
switch would also be impacted. If the switch functions as an Access Tandem, or
there is a tandem in the building, traffic from every CO to every CLEC could be
interrupted. A disaster that destroys a facility hub could disrupt various
traffic flows, even though the switching equipment may be unaffected.
The NMC would be the first group to observe a problem involving BellSouth's
equipment. Shortly after a disaster, the NMC will begin applying controls and
finding reroutes for the completion of as much traffic as possible. These
reroutes may involve delivering traffic to alternate Carriers upon receiving
approval from affected carriers and notification of the CLECs involved. In some
cases, changes in translations will be required. If the outage is caused by the
destruction of equipment, then the ECC will assume control of the restoration.
5.2.1 LOSS OF A CENTRAL OFFICE
When BellSouth loses a Central Office, the ECC will
a) place specialists and emergency equipment on notice;
b) inventory the damage to determine what equipment and/or functions
are lost;
c) move containerized emergency equipment and facility equipment to the
stricken area, if necessary;
d) begin reconnecting service for Hospitals, Police and other emergency
agency customers of CLECs and BellSouth in a nondiscriminatory manner
in accordance with NSEP-TSP guidelines; and
e) begin restoring service to CLECs and other customers.
5.2.2 LOSS OF A CENTRAL OFFICE WITH SERVING WIRE CENTER FUNCTIONS
The loss of a Central Office that also serves as a Serving Wire Center (SWC),
will be restored as described in section 5.2.1.
5.2.3 LOSS OF A CENTRAL OFFICE WITH TANDEM FUNCTIONS
When BellSouth loses a Central Office building that serves as an Access Tandem
and as a SWC, the ECC will
a) place specialists and emergency equipment on notice;
b) inventory the damage to determine what equipment and/or functions
are lost;
c) move containerized emergency equipment and facility equipment to the
stricken area, if necessary;
EXHIBIT A
OF ATTACHMENT 6
PAGE 8
d) begin reconnecting service for Hospitals, Police and other emergency
agency customers of CLECs and BellSouth in a nondiscriminatory manner
in accordance with NSEP-TSP guidelines; and
e) redirect as much traffic as possible to the alternate access tandem
(if available) for delivery to those CLECs utilizing a different
location as a SWC;
f) begin aggregating traffic to a location near the damaged building.
From this location, begin re-establishing trunk groups to the CLECs for
the delivery of traffic normally found on the direct trunk groups.
(This aggregation point may be the alternate access tandem location or
another CO on a primary facility route.)
g) begin restoring service to CLECs and other customers.
5.2.4 LOSS OF A FACILITY HUB
In the event that BellSouth loses a facility hub, the recovery process is much
the same as above. Once the NMC has observed the problem and administered the
appropriate controls, the ECC will assume authority for the repairs. The
recovery effort will include
a) placing specialists and emergency equipment on notice;
b) inventorying the damage to determine what equipment and/or functions
are lost;
c) moving containerized emergency equipment to the stricken area, if
necessary;
d) reconnecting service for Hospitals, Police and other emergency
agency customers of CLECs and BellSouth in a nondiscriminatory manner
in accordance with NSEP-TSP guidelines; and
e) restoring service to CLECs and other customers. If necessary,
BellSouth will aggregate the traffic at another location and build
temporary facilities. This alternative would be viable for a location
that is destroyed and building repairs are required.
5.3 COMBINED OUTAGE (CLEC AND BELLSOUTH EQUIPMENT)
In some instances, a disaster may impact BellSouth's equipment as well as the
CLECs'. This situation will be handled in much the same way as described in
section 5.2.3. Since BellSouth and the CLECs will be utilizing temporary
equipment, close coordination will be required.
6.0 T1 IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURES
EXHIBIT A
OF ATTACHMENT 6
PAGE 9
During the restoration of service after a disaster, BellSouth may be forced to
aggregate traffic for delivery to an CLEC. During this process, T1 traffic may
be consolidated onto DS3s and may become unidentifiable to the Carrier. Because
resources will be limited, BellSouth may be forced to "package" this traffic
entirely differently then normally received by the CLECs. Therefore, a method
for identifying the T1 traffic on the DS3s and providing the information to the
Carriers is required.

BILLING AND BILLING ACCURACY CERTIFICATION
1. PAYMENT AND BILLING ARRANGEMENTS
1.1 BILLING. Currently, BellSouth provides billing through the
Carrier Access Billing System (CABS) and through the Customer
Records Information System (XXXX) depending on the particular
service(s) that ITC/\DeltaCom requests. BellSouth will xxxx
and record in accordance with this agreement those charges
ITC/\DeltaCom incurs as a result of ITC/\DeltaCom purchasing
from BellSouth Network Elements, Combinations, and Local
Services, as set forth in this agreement. BellSouth will
format all bills in CBOS Standard or CLUB/EDI format,
depending on the type of service ordered. BellSouth's bills to
ITC/\DeltaCom for unbundled network elements and resold
services purchased by ITC/\DeltaCom shall include the item,
quantity and price of such purchased services. For those
services where standards have not yet been developed,
BellSouth's billing format will change as necessary when
standards are finalized by the Ordering and Billing Forum
(OBF).
1.1.1 If ITC/\DeltaCom requests multiple billing media or
additional copies of bills BellSouth will provide these
at a reasonable cost.
1.2 MASTER ACCOUNT. If ITC/\DeltaCom has not already done so,
after receiving certification as a local exchange company from
the appropriate regulatory agency, ITC/\DeltaCom will provide
the appropriate BellSouth service center the necessary
documentation to enable BellSouth to establish a master
account for resold services. Such documentation shall include
the Application for Master Account, proof of authority to
provide telecommunications services, an Operating Company
Number ("OCN") assigned by the National Exchange Carriers
Association ("NECA") and a tax exemption certificate, if
applicable. To the extent applicable, BellSouth shall maintain
an account under which ITC/\DeltaCom shall xxxx BellSouth for
services provided pursuant to this Agreement.
1.3 PAYMENT RESPONSIBILITY. Payment of all charges will be the
responsibility of ITC/\DeltaCom or BellSouth as applicable.
ITC/\DeltaCom and BellSouth shall make payment to each other
for all services billed. Neither Party shall be responsible
for payments not received by the other Party's customers.
Neither Party shall become involved in billing disputes that
may arise between the other Party and its customers. Payments
made by either Party as payment on account shall be credited
to an accounts receivable master account and not to an end
user's account.
1.4 PAYMENT DUE. The payment shall be due by the next xxxx date
(i.e., same date in the following month as the xxxx date)
("Payment Due Date") and is
ATTACHMENT 7
PAGE 2
payable in immediately available funds. Payment is considered
to have been made when received.
1.4.1 If the payment due date falls on a Sunday or on a
Holiday which is observed on a Monday, the payment due
date shall be the first non-Holiday day following such
Sunday or Holiday. If the payment due date falls on a
Saturday or on a Holiday which is observed on Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, the payment due date
shall be the last non-Holiday day preceding such
Saturday or Holiday. If payment is not received by the
payment due date, a late payment penalty, as set forth
in Section 1.7, below, shall apply.
1.5 TAX EXEMPTION. Upon proof of tax exempt certification, the
total amount billed shall not include any taxes due from the
end user. The Retail Service provider shall be solely
responsible for the computation, tracking, reporting and
payment of all federal, state and/or local jurisdiction taxes
associated with the services resold to the end user.
1.6 MISCELLANEOUS. As the customer of record for resold services,
ITC/\DeltaCom shall be responsible for, and remit to
BellSouth, all charges applicable to its resold services for
emergency services (E911 and 911) and Telecommunications Relay
Service (TRS) as well as any other charges of a similar
nature.
1.7 LATE PAYMENT. If any portion of the payment is received by the
billing party after the payment due date as set forth
preceding, or if any portion of the payment is received in
funds that are not immediately available to the billing party,
then a late payment penalty shall be due to the billing party.
The late payment penalty shall be the portion of the payment
not received by the payment due date times a late factor. The
late factor shall be as set forth in Section A2 of BellSouth's
General Subscriber Service Tariff, Section B2 of BellSouth's
Private Line Service Tariff or Section E2 of the Intrastate
Access Tariff or the applicable ITC/\DeltaCom tariff as
appropriate.
1.8 ACCESS CHARGES FOR RESOLD SERVICES. Any switched access
charges associated with interexchange carrier access to the
resold local exchange lines will be billed by, and due to,
BellSouth. No additional charges are to be assessed to
ITC/\DeltaCom.
1.9 END USER COMMON LINE CHARGE FOR RESOLD SERVICES. Pursuant to
47 CFR Section 51.617, BellSouth will xxxx ITC/\DeltaCom end
user common line charges identical to the end user common line
charges BellSouth bills its end users.
ATTACHMENT 7
PAGE 3
1.10 DISCONTINUING SERVICE. The procedures for discontinuing
service to ITC/\DeltaCom or BellSouth are as follows:
1.10.1 Each party reserves the right to suspend or terminate
service for nonpayment in accordance with applicable
state and federal regulations.
1.10.2 If payment of account is not received by the xxxx xxx
in the month after the original xxxx xxx, the billing
Party may provide written notice to the other Party
that additional applications for service will be
refused and that any pending orders for service will
not be completed if payment is not received by the
fifteenth day following the date of the notice. In
addition the billing party may, at the same time, give
thirty days notice to the person designated by the
other party to receive notices of noncompliance, to
discontinue the provision of existing services at any
time thereafter.
1.10.3 In the case of such discontinuance, all billed charges,
as well as applicable termination charges, shall become
due.
1.10.4 If the billing party does not discontinue the provision
of the services involved on the date specified in the
thirty days notice and the other Party's noncompliance
continues, nothing contained herein shall preclude the
billing party's right to discontinue the provision of
the services without further notice.
1.10.5 If payment is not received or satisfactory arrangements
made for payment by the date given in the written
notification, the billed party's services may be
discontinued. Upon discontinuance of service on the
billed party's account, service to the billed party's
end users will be denied. The billing party will
reestablish service at the request of the end user or
the other Party upon payment of the appropriate
connection fee and subject to the billing party's 's
normal application procedures. The billed party is
solely responsible for notifying the end user of the
proposed service disconnection.
1.10.6 If within fifteen days after an end user's service has
been denied no contact has been made in reference to
restoring service, the end user's service shall be
disconnected.
1.11 DEPOSIT POLICY. Either Party may be required to provide
information regarding credit worthiness. If either Party
repeatedly fails to pay undisputed billed charges by the
Payment due date or its financial condition deteriorates
materially, such party may be required to provide information
regarding credit worthiness. Based on the results of the
credit
ATTACHMENT 7
PAGE 4
analysis, the Party providing services reserves the right to
secure the account with a suitable form of security deposit.
Such security deposit may take the form of an irrevocable
Letter of Credit or in its sole discretion some other form of
security acceptable to the Party providing service. Any such
security deposit shall in no way release the customer from its
obligation to make complete and timely payments of its xxxx.
Such security may be required prior to the inauguration of
service. If, in the sole opinion of the Party providing
service, circumstances so warrant and/or gross monthly billing
has increased beyond the level initially used to determine the
level of security, the Party providing service reserves the
right to request additional security. Interest on a security
deposit shall accrue and be refunded in accordance with the
terms in the appropriate tariff of the Party providing
service.
2. BILLING AND BILLING ACCURACY CERTIFICATION
2.1 At the option of ITC/\DeltaCom, BellSouth and ITC/\DeltaCom
shall mutually agree upon a billing quality assurance program
for all billing elements covered in this Agreement that shall
eliminate the need for post-billing reconciliation.
Appropriate terms for access to any BellSouth documents,
systems, records, and procedures for the recording and billing
of charges shall be part of that program.
2.2 As part of the billing quality assurance program, BellSouth
and ITC/\DeltaCom will develop standards, measurements, and
performance requirements for a local billing measurements
process. On a regular basis the billing party will provide the
other party with mutually agreed upon performance measurement
data that substantiates the accuracy, reliability, and
integrity of the billing process for local billing. In return,
each party shall pay all bills received from the other party
in full by the payment due date.
2.3 Local billing discrepancies will be addressed in an orderly
manner via a mutually agreed upon billing exemption process.
2.3.1 Each party agrees to notify the other Party upon
identifying a billing discrepancy. The Parties shall
endeavor to resolve any billing discrepancy within
sixty (60) calendar days of the notification date. A
mutually agreed upon escalation process shall be
established for resolving local billing discrepancies
as part of the billing quality assurance program.
2.3.2 Closure of a specific billing period shall occur by
joint agreement of the Parties whereby the Parties
agree that such billing period is closed to any further
analysis and financial transactions except those
resulting from regulatory mandates. Closure will take
place
ATTACHMENT 7
PAGE 5
within a mutually agreed upon time interval from the
Xxxx Date. The month being closed represents those
charges that were billed or should have been billed by
the designated Xxxx Date.
3. BILLING DISPUTES
3.1 Where the parties have not agreed upon a billing quality
assurance program, billing disputes shall be handled pursuant
to the terms of this section. Provided, that nothing herein
shall preclude either party from filing complaints, at any
time, in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions
included in the General Terms and Conditions to the Agreement.
3.2 Each Party agrees to notify the other Party upon the discovery
of a billing dispute. In the event of a billing dispute, the
Parties will endeavor to resolve the dispute within sixty (60)
calendar days of the Xxxx Date on which such disputed charges
appear. Resolution of the dispute is expected to occur at the
first level of management resulting in a recommendation for
settlement of the dispute and closure of a specific billing
period. If the issues are not resolved within the allotted
time frame, the following resolution procedure will begin.
3.3 If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days of the
Xxxx Date, the dispute will be escalated to the second level
of management for each of the respective Parties for
resolution. If the dispute is not resolved within ninety (90)
days of the Xxxx Date, the dispute will be escalated to the
third level of management for each of the respective Parties
for resolution.
If the dispute is not resolved within one hundred and twenty
(120) days of the Xxxx Date, the dispute will be escalated to
the fourth level of management for each of the respective
Parties for resolution.
3.4 If a Party disputes a charge and does not pay such charge by
the payment due date, such charges shall be subject to late
payment charges as set forth in the Late Payment Charges
provision of this Attachment. If a Party disputes charges and
the dispute is resolved in favor of such Party, the other
Party shall credit the xxxx of the disputing Party for the
amount of the disputed charges along with any late payment
charges assessed no later than the second Xxxx Date after the
resolution of the dispute. Accordingly, if a Party disputes
charges and the dispute is resolved in favor of the other
Party, the disputing Party shall pay the other Party the
amount of the disputed charges and any associated late payment
charges assessed no later than the second xxxx payment due
date after the resolution of the dispute. In no event,
however, shall any late payment charges be assessed on any
previously assessed late payment charges.

4. XXX HOSTING
4.1 XXX Hosting, Credit Card and Third Number Settlement System
(CATS) and Non-Intercompany Settlement System (NICS) services
provided to ITC/\DeltaCom by BellSouth will be in accordance
with the methods and practices regularly adopted and applied
by BellSouth to its own operations during the term of this
Agreement, including such revisions as may be made from time
to time by BellSouth.
4.2 ITC/\DeltaCom shall furnish all relevant information required
by BellSouth for the provision of XXX Hosting, CATS and NICS.
4.3 Applicable compensation amounts will be billed by BellSouth to
ITC/\DeltaCom on a monthly basis in arrears. Amounts due from
one Party to the other (excluding adjustments) are payable
within thirty (30) days of receipt of the billing statement.
4.4 ITC/\DeltaCom must have its own unique XXX code. Requests for
establishment of XXX status where BellSouth is the selected
CMDS interfacing host, require written notification from
ITC/\DeltaCom to the BellSouth XXX Hosting coordinator at
least eight (8) weeks prior to the proposed effective date.

NOTES:
1 In states where a specific NRC for customer transfer, feature
additions and changes is not stated, the applicable NRC from the
appropriate tariff applies.
2 Geographically Deaveraged UNE Zones and applicable rates have
been established for certain services, as shown in this
Agreement. Where Geographically Deaveraged UNE Zones and
applicable rates are established, Statewide rates are obsolete.
Further, BellSouth is in the process of enhancing its billing
systems in order to accomodate this Geographically Deaveraged UNE
Zone Rate Structure. Until these enhancements are accomplished,
estimated to be mid 2001, the UNE Zone 1 rate will be billed for
all services residing in Zones 1, 2, 3 or 4, i.e., Rates for
services residing in UNE Xxxxx 0, 0 xxx XXX Xxxx 4, where
applicable, will not be billed. Once billing enhancements are
complete, all applicable UNE Zone rates reflected in this
Agreement will be billed. Reference Internet Website
xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxx_xxxx/
docs/interconnection/deavuzns.pdf to view Geographically
Deaveraged UNE Zone Designations by Central Office. There will be
no retroactive true-up for Zones 2,
3 The recurring interim and nonrecurring interim rates in TN for
2-Wire analog VG (SL1) for Line Sharing is for a stand-alone loop
purchased by CLEC-1 to provide both analog voice service and xDSL
services or in the event CLEC-1 wishes to continue providing xDSL
services to an end-user who terminates its BellSouth-provided
voice service. These rates apply when CLEC-1 purchases the
splitter from BellSouth.
4 If no rate is identified in the contract, the rate for the
specific service or function will be as ordered by the Commision.
If the Commission has not ordered a rate then the rates will be
as set forth in applicable BellSouth tariff or as negotiated by
the Parties upon request by either Party.
5 The prices that ITC/\DeltaCom shall pay to BellSouth for Network
Elements and Other Services are as set forth in Attachment 11. It
is the intent of the Parties that where applicable state
commissions have approved rates for network elements and other
services set forth in this Agreement as of the date of the date
hereof, such rates have been included in Attachment 11.

rates are established, Statewide rates are obsolete. Further, BellSouth is in the process of
enhancing its billing systems in order to accomodate this Geographically Deaveraged UNE Zone
Rate Structure. Until these enhancements are accomplished, estimated to be mid 2001, the UNE
Zone 1 rate will be billed for all services residing in Zones 1, 2, 3 or 4, i.e., Rates for
services residing in UNE Xxxxx 0, 0 xxx XXX Xxxx 4, where applicable, will not be billed.
Once billing enhancements are complete, all applicable UNE Zone rates reflected in this
Agreement will be billed.

to view Geographically Deaveraged UNE Zone Designations by Central Office.
7 In the absence of ordered OSS rates by a state commission, BellSouth will offer regionwide rates
8 There is not a unique combination USOC. CLEC should submit the loop and port USOCs.
9 Rates in TN and FL are interim and shall be trued-up when final rates are ordered.

Notes :
Interim rates subject to true-up
1 Geographically Deaveraged UNE Zones and applicable rates have been
established for certain services, as shown in this Agreement. Where
Geographically Deaveraged UNE Zones and applicable rates are
established, Statewide rates are obsolete. Further, BellSouth is in
the process of enhancing its billing systems in order to
accomodate this Geographically Deaveraged UNE Zone Rate Structure.
Until these enhancements are accomplished, estimated to be mid
2001, the UNE Zone 1 rate will be billed for all services residing
in Zones 1, 2, 3 or 4, i.e. Rates for services residing in UNE
Xxxxx 0, 0 xxx XXX Xxxx 4, where applicable, will not be billed.
Once billing enhancements are complete, all applicable UNE Zone
rates reflected in this Agreement will be billed. Reference

or function will be as set forth in applicable BellSouth tariff or as
negotiated by the Parties upon request by either Party.
1 Until the FCC issues its order implementing a cost recovery mechanism
for permanent number portability, the Company will track its costs of
providing interim SPNP with sufficient detail to verify the costs.
This will facilitate the Florida PSCs consideration of the recovery of
these costs in Docket 950737-TP. (FL)
2 BellSouth and CLEC will each bear their own costs of providing remote
call forwarding as an interim number portability option. (KY)
