DS3 Payment Example:
Assumed Number of DS1 local interconnection facilities: 61
Assumed DS3 tariff rate billed to Cricket by AT&T LOUISIANA: $575/DS3/month
Assumed Facility Factor: 22.45%
Assumed multiple service arrangement discount: 20%
Payment = ($575) *(61/28)*(22.45%)*(1-20%) = $224.98
2.3.8 Each Party reserves the right to discontinue the use of any shared Facilities arrangement, by invoking the
dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement, regardless of who provides the Facilities, i.e., one of the
Parties or a Third-Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision does not negate any obligations
either Party may have regarding such Facilities, such as, but not limited to, financial obligations for an
agreed upon term and notice provisions.
2.3.9 When a Party uses its own Facilities (either through self-provisioning, or through the purchase of Facilities
from the other Party or from Third Parties) to deliver one-way Section 251(b)(5) Calls traffic from its network
to the POI, such Party shall provide such Facilities at its sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Parties agree to deliver Third Party Traffic in addition to Section 251(b)(5) Calls traffic on a
land-to-mobile one-way Facility, then WSP shall be responsible for a portion of the facility cost, based on the
quarterly percentage provided by AT&T LOUISIANA.
2.4 Ancillary Services Traffic:
2.4.1 When delivering Ancillary Services traffic to AT&T LOUISIANA, WSP shall provide Facilities and
connections in each LATA dedicated solely for Ancillary Services traffic. Ancillary Service traffic requires a
dedicated Facility. The connection used must be an Ancillary Services Connection.
2.4.2 For the provision of 911 and/or E911 Services, WSP may provide its own Facilities or purchase Facilities
from a Third Party to connect its network with AT&T LOUISIANA’s E911 Selective Router. Alternatively,
WSP may purchase appropriate Facilities from AT&T LOUISIANA’s applicable tariffs.
2.4.3 This Section 2.4.3 applies only in states where Type 2-C interfaces are available from AT&T LOUISIANA.
As a further alternative in such states, WSP also may purchase Facilities employing a Type 2-C interface
from AT&T LOUISIANA, at rates found in the applicable AT&T LOUISIANA tariff.
3.0 Interconnection Trunking
3.1 This Section 3 describes the required and optional Interconnection Trunk Groups for Section 251(b)(5) Calls,
Switched Access Services traffic, Mass Calling, 911/E911, Operator Services and Directory Assistance traffic.
3.1.1 AT&T LOUISIANA and WSP exchange traffic over their networks in connection with WSP’s Authorized
Services, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. WSP shall deliver all Interconnection traffic
destined to terminate on AT&T LOUISIANA’s network through Interconnection Trunks obtained pursuant to
this Agreement. The exchange of one-way Paging Traffic between the Parties’ respective networks is not
authorized under this Agreement. If the Parties have one-way Paging Traffic to exchange, a separate oneway
Paging interconnection agreement must be negotiated and executed for such traffic.
