ATTACHMENT 1 - INTERCONNECTION
The Parties hereto, agree to interconnect their facilities and networks for the transport of Local Traffic as
follows:
SECTION 1. lnterconnectionTrunkinqArranqements
1.1 The Parties will interconnect their networks directly or indirectly as specified in the terms and
conditions contained herein. POls set forth in this Attachment, may be modified from time to time by either
Party only with the written consent of the other Party. CLC will agree to establish each POI at a
technically feasible point on Frontier's network.
1.2 Direct lnterconnection is required at one or more of the following locations:
a) POI at the Frontier local tandem office, wfiere available, which will provide switched lnterconnection to
Frontier End Users served by subtending host and remote offices
b) Except as provided in 1.3 below, a POI will be at the Frontier Host Office, which will provide switched
lnterconnection to Frontier's End Users' served by that host office and subtending remote offices.
1.3 The Parties agree to exchange traffic indirectly subject to 1.3.1 below.
1.3.1 The Parties agree that a direct interconnection is mutually beneficial and desirable when the volume
of traffic exchanged between the Parties equals or exceeds a DS1 level over three (3) consecutive
months. lf such level of indirect traffic is reached between CLC 's network and a given Frontier end
office, the Parties agree, to negotiate in good faith the mutual need for a direct interconnection between
CLC 's network and the affected Frontier end office, when either Party makes such request for direct
interconnection. ln order for CLC to establish a POl, a request will need to be submitted using the POI
Request Form located at http:/iwholesale.frontier.com/wholesale.
1.3 Each Party will be responsible for the engineering and construction of its own network facilities on
its side of the POl, however, should Frontier be required to modify its network to accommodate the
lnterconnection request made by CLC, CLC agrees to pay Frontier reasonable charges for such
modifications. lf CLC uses a third party network to reach the POl, CLC will bear all third party CLC
charges for facilities and traffic in both directions on its side of the POl.
1.4 CLC will be responsible for establishing separate trunk groups for:
.4.1 lntraLATA Trunk Group - allows access to all codes which subtend the interconnected
Frontier tandem.
1.4.2 lnterLATA Trunk Group- enables lnterexchange Carriers to originate and terminate traffic
from/to CLC or for CLC and Frontier to exchange traffic that is not served by the Frontier tandem
CLC is interconnected too.
1.4.2.'l For all FGD and un-queried 8YY traffic, originated by CLC , CLC agrees to
provide Frontier with applicable meet point billing records.
1.4.4 CLC 's services as an interexchange service provider are subject to Frontier's access
tariffs.
1.4.5 Connecting CLC 's switch to the applicable E911 routers. lf CLC purchases such
services from Frontier, they will be provided at full applicable tariff rates. For all 9 1 1 /E91 1 traffic
originating from CLC , it is the responsibility of CLC and the appropriate state or local public
Page | 21
Agreement Number: 14-CLC CTCID-000
safety answering agency to negotiate the manner in which 91 1/E91 1 traffic from CLC will be
processed.
1.5 The Parties mutually agree that all lnterconnection facilities will be sized according to mutual
forecasts and sound engineering practice, as mutually agreed to by the Parties. The Parties further agree
that all equipment and technical lnterconnections will be in conformance with all generally accepted
industry standards with regard to facilities, equipment, and services.
1.6 lnterconnection will be provided via two-way trunks. The only compensation or other
responsibility for payment for terminating traffic from the POI onward shall be Reciprocal Compensation, if
applicable and/or Transit Service charges where a Frontier tandem is used to reach a third party's
network and/or Switched Access charges where CLC is acting as an lnterexchange CLC . The mutually
agreed upon technical and operational interfaces, procedures, grade of service and performance
standards for lnterconnection between the Parties will conform with all generally accepted industry
standards with regard to facilities, equipment, and services. All lnterconnection facilities and trunking will
be ordered using industry standard ASR as referenced in Frontier's Local Service Provider Guide.
1.7 CLC will not expect Frontier's local end office switches to act as a tandem on CLC 's behalf nor
will Frontier expect CLC 's local end office switches to act as a tandem on Frontier's behalf.
1.8 This Agreement is applicable only to Frontier's serving areas. Frontier will not be responsible for
lnterconnections or contracts relating to any CLC 's lnterconnection with any other service provider or
telecommunications CLC .
1.9 lf CLC provides service using an NPA-NXX assigned to a rate center where Frontier provides
extended area service or an applicable regulatory authority approved optional calling plan, and CLC
chooses to indirectly interconnect by using the tandem switching facilities of a third party, Frontier will
have no obligation to route and rate traffic to CLC 's NPA-NXX as an EAS call or pursuant to an optional
calling plan unless CLC has established a trunking and transiting arrangement for this traffic with Frontier
and the other telecommunications CLC (s) utilizing the trunk and providing transiting service for the traffic.
1 .10 lf a CLC End User customer ports a number from CLC to another CLEC and Frontier routes a
call to that ported number to CLC , CLC will route the call to the new CLEC to the tandem the new CLEC
is listed as subtending in the LERG and may assess Frontier charges to recover costs incurred in
performing applicable queries and in routing the non-queried call.
1.11 Signaling Systems and Administration
1.11.1 The Parties will, where Frontier has the capability, interconnect their networks using SS7
signaling associated with all lnterconnection trunk groups as defined in Telcordia GR-246 "Bell
Communications Research Specification of Signaling Systems 7 (SS7) and GR-905, "Common
Channel Signaling Network lnterface Specification (CLC SNIS) Supporting lnterconnection,
Message Transfer Part (MTP), and lntegrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) User Part (ISUP)
"including ISDN User Part ("lSUP") for trunk signaling and Transaction Capabilities Application
Part ("TCAP") for CLC S-based features in the lnterconnection of their networks. For glare
resolution, Frontier will have priority on odd trunk group member circuit identification codes, and
CLC will have priority on even trunk group member circuit identification codes, unless otherwise
mutually agreed.

SECTION 4. Reciprocal Compensation for the Transport and Termination of lnterchanqed
Traffic.
4.1 The Parties agree to exchange ISP Bound Traffic on a bill and keep basis between the Parties
such that neither Party owes the other Party any compensation for the origination, transport or termination
of such traffic. The preceding sentence applies only to the exchange of traffic between these Parties and
a separate determination of what ISP Bound Traffic was exchanged between Frontier and any other party
adopting this Agreement under 47 U.S.C. S 252(i) shall be required in order to determine the appropriate
compensation of ISP-Bound Traffic between Frontier and any such other party.
4.1.1 Neither Party expects to terminate material amounts of Local Traffic to the other Party,
and to the extent the Parties terminate Local Traffic they expect the volume of Local Traffic each
Party terminates to be comparable, thereby justiffing the use of combined trunks for Local Traffic
and ISP Bound Traffic under Attachment 1, Section 1.4. As such it will not be possible to identify
Local Traffic and the Parties will reciprocally compensate each other using bill and keep.
4.2 The Parties will exchange Enhanced Services traffic other than ISP-Bound Traffic on a bill and
keep basis.
4.2.1 The fact that ISP Bound Traffic and de minimus amounts of Local Traffic are
compensated for on a bill and keep basis shall not change the compensation set forth in this
Agreement for any other traffic or services, including but not limited to facilities for lnterconnection
under Section 1 of this Attachment 1, Access Services traffic, wireless traffic, and Transit Service
traffic.
4.3 VolP Traffic. VolP Traffic exchanged pursuant to this Agreement will be governed by the default
provisions of USF/ICC Transformation Order FCC 1 1-1 61 (rel. November 18, 201 1) as such order may be
revised, reconsidered, modified or changed in the future. When such revisions, reconsiderations,
modifications or changes are effective, such provisions shall be automatically incorporated into this
Agreement. For clarity, and subject to any future revisions, reconsiderations, modifications or changes in
the USF/ICC Transformation Order, interexchange VolP traffic terminated to either Party is subject to
access charges based on the appropriate access tariff, and local VolP traffic terminated to either Party is
subject to the reciprocal compensation provisions of this Agreement. The Parties agree access charges
will comply with all FCC mirroring and default phase-down requirements
SECTION 5. Transit Service
5.1 CLC shall compensate Frontier for Transit Service as follows:
CLC shall pay Frontier a Transit Service charge as set forth in Attachment 7, Pricing for Transit Service
originated by CLC to any third party CLC , or terminated to CLC from a third-party lncumbent Local
Exchange CLC when interconnected to a Frontier tandem
5.1 .1 Each Party acknowledges that Frontier does not have any responsibility to pay any
charges for termination of any transit traffic originating from a non-Party's network.
