Page 9 of 18
Cricket Communications, Inc.
Version: 3Q08 – Two-Way CMRS ICA – Wireless 02/12/09
3.4.1 WSP agrees to provide Trunk forecasts to AT&T LOUISIANA to assist in the planning and provisioning of
Interconnection Trunk Groups and Facilities.
3.4.2 WSP will provide a Trunk forecast to AT&T LOUISIANA prior to initial implementation, and WSP will provide
subsequent forecasts to AT&T LOUISIANA upon request by AT&T LOUISIANA, as often as twice per year.
The forecasts shall include yearly forecasted Trunk quantities (which include measurements that reflect
actual Tandem Local Interconnection and InterLATA Trunks, End Office Local Interconnection Trunks, and
Tandem subtending Local Interconnection end office equivalent Trunk requirements) for a minimum of three
years, i.e., the current year and the following two years.
3.4.3 WSP will provide revised Trunk forecasts to AT&T LOUISIANA whenever there is a difference of 25% or
more in trunking demand than reflected in previously submitted forecasts.
3.4.4 Trunk forecasts shall include yearly forecasted Trunk quantities by Tandem and subtending End Offices.
Identification of each Trunk will be by the “from” and “to” Common Language Location Identifiers (CLLI), as
described in Telcordia Technologies documents BR 795-100-100 and BR 795-400-100.
3.4.5 The Parties agree to review with each other the submitted forecasts.
3.5 Trunk Provisioning:

3.5.1 In conjunction with Trunk forecasting as described in Section 3.4 above, WSP will be responsible for
ordering all Interconnection Trunk Groups, with concurrence from AT&T LOUISIANA.
3.5.2 WSP shall submit orders to AT&T LOUISIANA to establish, add, change, or disconnect Trunks, using AT&T
LOUISIANA’s applicable ordering system. Two-way Trunk Groups may only be used for the delivery of
traffic in both directions.
3.5.3 WSP’s orders that comprise a major project that directly affects AT&T LOUISIANA will be jointly planned
and coordinated. Major projects are those that require the coordination and execution of multiple orders, or
order-related activities between and among AT&T LOUISIANA and WSP’s work groups, including, but not
limited to, the initial establishment of Trunk Groups in an area, designated NPA-NXX relocations, re-homes,
Facility grooming or major network rearrangements.
3.5.4 Due dates for the installation of Trunk Groups covered by this Attachment shall be based on each of AT&T
LOUISIANA’s intra-state Switched Access Services intervals.
3.5.5 Trunk Servicing:
3.5.5.1 The Parties will jointly manage the capacity of Interconnection Trunk Groups. A Trunk Group
Service Request (“TGSR”) will be sent by AT&T LOUISIANA to notify WSP to establish or make
modifications to existing Trunk Groups. WSP will issue an ASR or WSR, as applicable, to AT&T
LOUISIANA’s Wireless Access Service Center, to begin the provisioning process as required
below:
3.5.5.1.1 Within ten (10) business days after receipt of the TGSR or other notification; or
3.5.5.1.2 At any time as a result of WSP’s own capacity management assessment.
3.5.5.2 Upon review of the TGSR, if a Party does not agree with the resizing, of the Interconnection Truck
Groups the Parties will schedule a joint planning discussion to take place and conclude within
twenty (20) business days of WSP’s receipt of the TGSR. At the joint planning discussion, the
Parties will resolve and mutually agree to the disposition of the TGSR.
3.5.5.3 If the Parties cannot agree on the resizing of the Interconnection Trunk Groups at the joint planning
discussion, then either Party may invoke the dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement.
Further, if AT&T LOUISIANA does not receive an ASR or WSR, as applicable, from WSP, or if
WSP does not respond to the TGSR by scheduling a discussion with the other Party within the
