Common use of Operator Services Clause in Contracts

Operator Services. Upon AT&T's request, and where technically feasible, GTE shall route local Operator Services calls (0+, 0-) dialed by AT&T Customers directly to the AT&T Local Operator Services platform, unless AT&T requests otherwise pursuant to Section 28.7.1. Such traffic shall be routed over trunk groups specified by AT&T which connect GTE end offices and the AT&T Local Operator Services platform, using standard Operator Services dialing protocols of 0+ or 0-. Where intraLATA presubscription is not available, GTE will provide the functionality and features within its local switch (LS), to route AT&T Customer dialed 0- and 0+ intraLATA calls to the AT&T designated line or trunk on the Main Distributing Frame (MDF) or Digital Cross Connect (DSX) panel via Modified Operator Services (MOS) Feature Group C signaling. Where intraLATA presubscription is available, AT&T Customer dialed 0- and 0+ intraLATA calls will be routed to the intraLATA PIC carrier's designated operator services platform. In all cases, GTE will provide post-dial delay no greater than that provided by GTE for its end user customers. For switches lacking the existing capacity and capability to provide the customized rerouting described in this Section 28, GTE shall develop alternative forms of customized routing. AT&T shall pay GTE's costs, if any, pursuant to the pricing standards of Section 252(d) of the Act and in such amounts or levels as determined by the Commission for implementation of such routing.
