SCOPE
3.4
This Agreement is intended inter alia to describe and enable specific
traffic exchange and Reciprocal Compensation arrangements between the
Parties. This Agreement does not obligate either Party to provide
arrangements not specifically provided for herein.
This Agreement sets forth the terms, conditions, and rates under which the
Parties agree to interconnect the CMRS network of VZW and the
Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (ILEC) network of Albion for
purposes of exchanging Local Traffic, provided that the service provided
by VZW to its customer is a two-way mobile service as derIDed in 47
C. 9 153(27). This Agreement does not cover VZW one-way paging
service traffic or fixed wireless. VZW does not currently provide fixed
wireless services in Albion s Local Service Area, VZW agrees that it will
provide Albion prior notice of its intent to launch fixed wireless services
in Albion s Local Service Area. Upon Albion s receipt of such notice, the
Parties agree to negotiate an appropriate agreement or an Amendment to
this Agreement, which will address the exchange of such traffic.
This Agreement relates to the exchange of traffic between Albion and
VZW. VZW represents that it is a CMRS provider of telecommunications
services to subscribers in MTA No. 36 (Salt Lake City). Additions or
changes to VZW's NPAlNXXs will be as listed in Telcordia s Local
Exchange Routing Guide ("LERG") under Operating Company Number
OCN") 6565 in Idaho.
Albion s NPAINXX(s) are listed in the LERG under OCN 2213.
Any amendment, modification, or supplement to this Agreement must be
in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each Party.
Traffic Exchange Agreement between A TC and VZW
SERVICE AGREEMENT
4.3
Description of Arrangements.This Agreement provides for the following
interconnection and arrangements between the networks of Albion and
VZW. Additional arrangements that may be agreed to in the future will be
delineated in Attachment B to this Agreement. An NP AlNXX assigned to
VZW shall be treated as Local Service Area traffic and included in any
EAS calling scope, or similar program, to the same extent as any other
incumbent LEC's NPAlNXX in the same rate center provided that VZW
assigns numbers from such NP AlNXX to customers within the Local
Service Area of Albion and VZW has network facilities to serve such
customers.
Indirect Interconnection:The Parties agree to interconnect their
networks indirectly via third party LEC ("Third Party Tandem
Provider ) in order to exchange Local Traffic, and that the originating
Party is responsible for any transit fees imposed by the Third Party
Tandem Provider. This arrangement of indirect interconnection will be
subject to renegotiation if by change of law or for any other reason the
Third Party Tandem Provider no longer offers the transiting service.
Direct Interconnection:Where the total Local Traffic exchanged between
VZW and Albion s specific Tandem Office Switch or specific End Office
Switch exceeds 500 000 mobile-to-Iand minutes of use per month for three
consecutive months VZW and Albion shall work cooperatively to
implement direct interconnection arrangements and amend this Agreement
as required. VZW may also request an amendment to establish a direct
interconnection regardless of the volume of traffic exchanged. For direct
interconnection, the POI shall be any technically feasible point on
Albion s network, including points on Albion s network, if any, that
extend beyond Albion s service area boundary.
COMPENSATION
Traffic Subject to Reciprocal Compensation.
Reciprocal Compensation is applicable for Transport and Termination of
Local Traffic as defined in 9 1.17 and is related to the exchange of traffic
described in 9 4 and in Attachment B, as applicable. For the purposes of billing
compensation for Local Traffic, billed minutes will be based upon actual usage
recorded and/or records/reports provided by the transiting carrier. Measured
usage begins when the terminating recording switch receives answer supervision
from the called end-user and ends when the terminating recording switch receives
or sends disconnect (release message) supervision, whichever occurs first. The
measured usage is aggregated at the end of the measurement cycle and rounded to
a whole minute. Billing for Local Traffic shall be based on the aggregated
Traffic Exchange Agreement between A TC and VZW
measured usage less traffic recorded as local that is deemed Non-Local Traffic
based on the default factor provided in 9 5.3(e).
The rate for Reciprocal Compensation shall be $0.0175 per minute.
The Parties agree to bill each other for Local Traffic as described in this
Agreement unless the Local Traffic exchanged between the Parties is balanced
and falls within an agreed upon threshold ("Traffic Balance Threshold"). The
Parties agree that for purposes of this Agreement, the Traffic Balance Threshold
is reached when the Local Traffic exchanged, both directly and indirectly, falls
between 55% / 45% in either the wireless-to-Iandline or landline-to-wireless
direction. When the actual usage data for three (3) consecutive months indicates
that the Local Traffic exchanged, both directly and indirectly, falls within the
Traffic Balance Threshold, then either Party may provide the other Party a written
request, along with verifiable information supporting such request, to eliminate
billing for Reciprocal Compensation per minute. Upon written consent by the
Party receiving the request, which shall not be withheld unreasonably, there will
be no billing for Reciprocal Compensation on a going forward basis unless
otherwise agreed to by both Parties, in writing. The Parties' agreement to
eliminate billing for Reciprocal Compensation carries with it the precondition
regarding the Traffic Balance Threshold discussed above. As such, the two points
have been negotiated as one interrelated term containing specific rates and
conditions, which are non-separable for purposes of 9 16 hereof.
Traffic Subject to Switched Access Compensation.
Access charges apply to all Non-Local Traffic originated on VZW'
network and delivered to Albion for termination to its customers as described in 9
4 and Attachment B , as applicable. VZW shall compensate Albion at Albion
applicable access tariff rates for all VZW-originated Non-Local Traffic only to
the extent that such VZW-originated Non-Local Traffic is not handed off to an
Interexchange Carrier for delivery to Albion.
Calculation of Payments and Billing.
(a)VZW will compensate Albion for Local and Non-Local Traffic
delivered to Albion for termination to its customers, as prescribed
and at the rates provided in 99 5.1 and 5.2. Albion will
compensate VZW for Local Traffic originated by Albion
customers on Albion s network and delivered to VZW, for
termination to its customers, as prescribed in 9 4 and at the rate
provided in 9 5.
(b)VZW shall prepare a monthly billing statement to Albion
reflecting the calculation of Reciprocal Compensation due VZW.
Albion shall prepare a monthly billing statement to VZW, which
will separately reflect the calculation of Reciprocal Compensation
Traffic Exchange Agreement between A TC and VZW
(c)
(d)
(e)
(f)
Switched Access Compensation, and total compensation due
Albion. Billing shall be based on actual measured usage, when
available. To the extent VZW does not have the capability to bill
based on actual measured usage, Albion may provide the actual
measured usage for use by VZW. If actual measured usage is not
available, the Parties agree that usage from the third-party transit
provider may be used for billing. Alternatively, if VZW does not
measure or cannot obtain the landline-to-wireless usage data from
Albion or from the third-party transit provider, then VZW may bill
using a factor that is based on each Party s proportion of
originating Local Traffic to total Local Traffic exchanged between
the Parties. This estimated percentage is referred to as the Traffic
Factor and is listed below. The Parties agree to review the Traffic
Factor on a periodic basis and, if warranted by the actual usage
revise the Traffic Factor appropriately.
Landline-to- Wireless 30%
Wireless-to- Landline 70%
Albion will prepare its bill in accordance with its existing CABS /
SECABS billing system. VZW will prepare its bill in accordance
with its existing process for billing Reciprocal Compensation using
the following formula:
VZW shall use the Albion mobile-to-Iand MODs (Minutes of Use)
to calculate the land-to-mobile MOUs by dividing the mobile-to-
land MOUs by 70% to arrive at 100% of the total traffic. The
mobile-to-Iand minutes are then subtracted from the 100% value to
arrive at the 30% land-to-mobile minutes VZW would bill Albion.
(Ex.: 100 000 MOUs are determined to be mobile-to-Iand. 100 000
is divided by 70% to arrive at 142 857 MOUs total traffic
exchanged. 100 000 is then subtracted from 142 857 to arrive at
the land-to-mobile MODs of 42 857 that VZW will bill Albion.
The Parties will make an effort to conform to current and future
OBF (CABS BaS) standards, insofar as is reasonable.
Recognizing that Albion has no way of measuring Non-Local
Traffic, and in the event that VZW does not track the usage
information required to identify the Non-Local Traffic originated
or terminated by Albion, both Parties agree to use a default factor
of 0% as an estimate of Non-Local Traffic. The actual recorded
usage shall be the basis for billing, when available and verifiable.
Each Party may request to inspect, during normal business hours
the records which are the basis for any monthly bill issued by the
Traffic Exchange Agreement between A TC and VZW
other Party and to request copies thereof provided that the
requested records do not exceed twelve (12) months in age from
the date the monthly bill containing said record information was
issued.
(g)
No Party shall bill the other Party for traffic that is older than
twelve (12) months or that predates this Agreement.
NOTICE OF CHANGES
If a Party contemplates a change in its network, which it believes will materially
affect the inter-operability of its network' with the other Party, the Party making the
change shall provide at least ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change to
the other Party, provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to changes
necessitated by emergencies or other circumstances outside the control of the Party
modifying its network.
GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES
7.4
Each Party is individually responsible to provide facilities within its
network which are necessary for routing, transporting and, consistent with

industry standard format, and to terminate the traffic it receives in that
acceptable industry standard format to the proper address on its network.
The Parties are each solely responsible for participation in and compliance
with national network plans, including The National Network Security
Plan and The Emergency Preparedness Plan. Neither Party shall use any
service related to or use any of the services provided in this Agreement in
any manner that prevents other persons from using their service or
destroys the normal quality of service to other carriers or to either Party
customers, and subject to notice and a reasonable opportunity of the
offending Party to cure any violation, either Party may discontinue or
refuse service if the other Party violates this provision.
Each Party is solely responsible for the services it provides to its
customers and to other Telecommunications Carriers.
