Common use of Interconnection Facility Options Clause in Contracts

Interconnection Facility Options. 7.1.1 This Section describes the Interconnection of Qwest's network and SBCT's network for the purpose of exchanging Exchange Service (EAS/Local traffic), Exchange Access (IntraLATA Toll) and Jointly Provided Switched Access (InterLATA and IntraLATA) traffic. Qwest will provide Interconnection at any technically feasible point within its network, including but not limited to, (i) the line-side of a local switch (i.e., local switching); (ii) the trunk side of a local switch, (iii) the trunk connection points for a tandem switch, (iv) central office cross-connection points, (v) out-of-band signaling transfer points necessary to exchange traffic at these points and access call-related databases, and (vi) points of access to unbundled network elements. Section 9 of this Agreement describes Interconnection at points (i), (iv), (v), and (vi), although some aspects of these Interconnection points are described in Section 7. "Interconnection" is as described in the Act and refers, in this Section of the Agreement, to the connection between networks for the purpose of transmission and routing of telephone Exchange Service traffic and exchange access traffic at points (ii) and (iii) described above.
