Rate Center. The specific geographic point and corresponding geographic area that are associated with one or more particular NPA-NXX Codes that have been assigned to a LEC for its provision of Exchange Services. The geographic point is identified by a specific Vertical and Horizontal (V&H) coordinate that is used to calculate distance-sensitive end user traffic to/from the particular NPA-NXXs associated with the specific Rate Center.
Rate Center. A Rate Center is the finite geographic point identified by a specific V&H coordinate which is used by the ILEC to measure, for billing purposes, distance- sensitive transmission services associated with the specific rate center; provided that a Rate Center cannot exceed the boundaries of the ILEC Exchange Area as defined by the Commission.

Final - 11/I 9/2007 22 FMTC - Sprint Interconnection Agreement 25 of 55 General Terms and Conditions 2.40 SIGNALING SYSTEM 7 (SS7). The common channel out-of-band signaling protocol developed by the Consultative Committee for International Telephone and Telegraph (CCITT) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). ILEC and CLEC currently utilize this out-of-band signaling protocol. SWITCHED ACCESS SERVICE. The offering of transmission and switching services for the purpose of the origination or termination of toll traffic. Switched Access Services include, but may not be limited to, Feature Group A, Feature Group B, Feature Group D, 700 access, 8XX access, and 900 access.
Rate Center. The geographic area to which a particular NXX Code has been assigned under the Central Office Code (NXX) Assignment Guidelines issued by ATIS, as revised from time to time.
Rate Center. The specific geographic point and corresponding geographic area that are associated with one or more particular NPA-NXX Codes that have been assigned to a LEC for its provision of Exchange Services. The geographic point is identified by a specific Vertical and Horizontal (V&H) coordinate that is used to calculate distance-sensitive end user traffic to/from the particular NPA-NXXs associated with the specific Rate Center. Reverse Billing The process whereby the CMRS pays usage charges for land-to-mobile calls in lieu of the end/landline customer paying toll. Routing Point Denotes a location that a LEC has designated on its network as the homing (routing) point for traffic that terminates to Exchange Services provided by the LEC that bear a certain NPA-NXX designation. The Routing Point is used to calculate airline mileage for the distance-sensitive transport element charges of Switched Access Services. Pursuant to Telcordia Technologies Practice BR795-100-100, the Routing Point may be an end office location, or a "LEC Consortium Point of Interconnection." The Routing Point must be in the same LATA as the associated NPA-NXX.

Service Switching Point (SSP) A Signaling Point that can launch queries to databases and receive/interpret responses used to provide specific customer services.
Rate Center. The geographic point and corresponding geographic area which are associated with one or more particular NPA-NXX codes which have been assigned to Verizon (or MCIm) for its provision of Telephone Exchange Service.
Rate Center. The specific geographic point (the "rating point") and corresponding geographic area that is associated with one or more particular NPA-NXX Codes that have been assigned to a Carrier for its provision of Telecommunications Services. The geographic point is identified by a specific vertical and horizontal (V&H) coordinate that is used to calculate distance-sensitive end-user traffic to/from the particular NPA-NXXs associated with the specific Rate Center. Ri,qht-of-way (ROW) The right to use the land or other property of another party to place poles, conduits, cables, other structures and equipment, or to provide passage to access such structures and equipment. A ROW may run under, on, or above public or private property (including air space above public or private property) and may include the right to use discrete space in buildings, building complexes, or other locations.
