In the event OneEighty fails to submit an ASR for Two-Way
Interconnection Trunks in conformance with this section , Verizon may
bill OneEighty for the excess Interconnection Trunks at the applicable
Verizon rates.
2.4.13 Because Verizon will not be in control of when and how many Two-Way
Interconnection Trunks are established between its network and
OneEighty's network, Verizon s performance in connection with these
Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups shall not be subject to any
performance measurements and remedies under this Agreement, and
except as otherwise required by Applicable Law, under any FCC or
Commission approved carrier-to-carrier performance assurance
guidelines or plan.
2.4.14 Upon three (3) months prior written notice and with the mutual
agreement of the Parties, either Party may withdraw its traffic from a
Two-Way Interconnection Trunk group and install One-Way
Interconnection Trunks to the other Party's relevant POI , provided that
if a Party has failed to comply with this Agreement with regard to Two-
Way Interconnection Trunks the other party may upon three (3)
months prior written notice and without mutual agreement of the non-
complying Party, withdraw its traffic from a Two-Way Interconnection
Trunk group and install One-Way Interconnection Trunks to the non-
complying Party's relevant POL
2.4.15 OneEighty will rQute its traffic to Verizon over the End Office and
Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunks in accordance with SR-TAP-
000191 , including but not limited to those standards requiring that a
call from OneEighty to a Verizon End Office will first be routed to the
End Office Interconnection Trunk group between OneEighty and the
Verizon End Office.
2.4.16 When the Partiesimplernent TWo-Way Interconnection Trunks, theParties will work cooperatively to calculate a Proportionate Percentage
of Use ("PPU") factor for each facility on which the Two-Way
Interconnection Trunks ride, based on the total number of minutes of
traffic that each Party sends over the Two-Way Interconnection Trunks
riding on that facility. OneEighty will pay a percentage of Verizon
monthly reclirring charges for each facility on which the Two-WayInterconnection Trunks ride equal to OneEighty s percentage of use ofthat facility as shown by the PPU. The PPU shall not be applied tocalculate the charges for any portion of a facility that is on OneEighty
side of OneEighty , which charges shall be solely the financial
responsibility of One Eighty. During thefirstfull calendar quarter (and
any partial calendar quarter preceding such first full calendar quarter)
after the first Two-Way Interconnection Trunk is established on a
facility, the PPU for that facility will be fifty percent (50%) for each
Party. For each calendar quarter thereafter, the Parties shall
recalculate the PPU using actual traffic usage data for the preceding
calendar quarter.
Non-recurring charges for the facility on which the Two-Way
Interconnection Trunks ride shall be apportioned as follows: (a) for the
portion OfthefacHity on Verizon s sideofthe OneEighty-, OneEighty
shall payfrfty percent (50%) ofthe Verizon non-recurring charges;
and, (b) for the portion of the facility on OneEighty's side of the
OneEighty-OneEighty shall be solely responsible for the non-
recurring charges.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4., if
OneEighty fails to provide OneEighty-IPs in accordance with this
Agreement, OneEighty will be responsible for one hundred percent
(100%) of all recurring and non-recurring charges associated with
Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups until OneEighty establishes
such OneEighty-IPs.
Alternative Interconnection Arrangements
In addition to the foregoing methods of Interconnection, and subject to mutual
agreement of the Parties, the Parties may agree to establish an End Point Fiber
Meet arrangement, which may include a SONET backbone with an optical
interface at the OC-n level in accordance with the terms of this Section. The
Fiber Distribution Frame at the OneEighty location shall be designated as the
POI for both Parties.
The establishment of any End Point Fiber Meet arrangement is expressly
conditioned upon the Parties' reaching prior written agreement on routing,
appropriate sizing and forecasting, equipment, ordering, provisioning,maintenance, repair, testing, augment, and compensation , procedures andarrangements, reasonable distance limitations, and on any other arrangementsnecessary to implement the End Point Fiber Meet arrangement.
Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties, End Point Fiber Meet arrangements
shall be used only for the termination of Reciprocal Compensation Traffic
Measured Internet Traffic, and IntraLATA Toll Traffic.

Traffic Measurement and Billing overhlterconnection Trunks
6.2
Verizon ICA
For billing purposes, each Party shall pass Calling Party Number (CPN)
information on at least ninety-fIVe percent (95%) of calls carried over the
Interconnection Trunks.
1 As used in this Section 6
, "
Traffic Rate" means the applicable Reciprocal
Compensation Trafiicrate Measured Internet Traffic rate, intrastate
Switched Exchan'ge Access Service rate, interstate Switched
Exchange Access Service rate; orintrastatelinterstate Tandem Transit
Traffic rate, as provided in the Pricing Attachment, an applicable Tariff
, for Measured Internet Traffic, the FCC Internet Order.
If the originating Party passes CPN on ninety-five percent (95%) or more
of its calls, the receiving Party shall bill the originating Party the Traffic
Rate applicable to eaCh relevant minute oftraffic for which CPN is
passed. For any remaining (up to 5%) caHswithout CPN information
the receiving Partysl1ahbill the Originating Party for such traffic at the
Traffic Rate applicable to each relevant minute of traffic, in directproportion to the minutes of use of calls passed with CPN information.
If the originating Party passes CPN on less than ninety-five percent
(95%) of its calls and the originating Party chooses to combine
Reciprocal Compensation Traffic and Toll Traffic on the same trunk
group, the receiving Party shall bill the higher of its interstate Switched
Exchange Access Service rates or its intrastate Switched Exchange
Access Services rates for all traffic that is passed without CPN , unlessthe Parties agree that other rates should apply to such traffic.
At such time as a receiving Party has the capability, on an automated basis, touse such CPN to classify traffic delivered over Interconnection Trunks by the
other Party by Traffic Rate type (e., Reciprocal Compensation Traffic/Measured
Internet Traffic, intrastate Switched Exchange Access Service, interstateSwitched Exchange Access Service, or intrastatelinterstate Tandem TransitTraffic), such receiving Party shall bill the originating Party the Traffic Rate
applicable to each relevant minute of traffic for whichCPN is passed. If the
6.4
Verizon ICA
receiving Party lacks the capability, on an automated basis, to use CPNinformation on an automated basis to classify traffic delivered by the other Party
by Traffic Rate type, the originating Party will supply Traffic Factor 1 and Traffic
Factor 2. The Traffic Factors shall be supplied in writing by the originating Party
within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date and shall be updated in writing by the
originating Party quarterly. Measurement of billing minutes for purposes of
determining terminating compensation shall be in conversation seconds (the time
in seconds that the Parties equipment is used for a completed call, measured
from the receipt of answer supervision to the receipt of disconnect supervision).
Measurement of billing minutes for ori.ginating toll free service access code (e.
800/888/877) calls shall be in accordance with applicable Tariffs. Determinations
as to whether traffic is Reciprocal Compensation Traffic or Measured Internet
Traffic shall be made in accordance with Section 7.1 below.
Each Party reserves the right to ?udit all Traffic, up to a maximum of two audits
per calendar year, to ensure that rates are being applied appropriately; provided
however, that either Party shall have theri.ght to conduct additional audit(s) if the
preceding audit disclosed material errors or discrepancies. Each Party agrees to
provide the necessary Traffic data in conjunction with any such audit in a timely
manner.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit either Party's ability to
designate the areas within which that Party's Customers may make calls which
that Party rates as "local" in its Customer Tariffs.

Forecastina Reauirements for Trunk Provisioning
Within ninety (90) days of executing this Agreement, OneEighty shall provide
Verizon a two (2) year traffic forecast. This initial forecast will provide the amount
of traffic to be delivered to and from Verizon over each of the Interconnection
Trunk groups over the next eight (8) quarters. The forecast shall be updated and
provided to Verizon on an a5-'-needed basis but no less frequently than
semiannually. All forecasts shall comply with the Verizon CLEC Interconnection
TrunkingForecast Guide. and shall include, at a minimum, Access Carrier
Terminal LocatiOn (ACTL) , traffic type (Reciprocal Compensation TrafficlToll
Traffic, Operator Services, 911 , etc.), code (identifies trunk group), A location/Z
location (CLLI codes forOneEighty-IPSand Verizon-IPs), interface type (e.
DS1), and trunks in service each year (cumulative).
14.Initial ForecastslTrunkina Reauirements. Because Verizon s trunking
requirements will, at least during an initial period, be dependent on the
Customer segments and service segments within Customer segments
to whom OneEighty decides to market its services, Verizon will be
largely dependent on OneEighty to provide accurate trunk forecasts for
both inbound (from Verizon) and outbound (to Verizon) traffic. Verizon
will, as an initial matter, provide the same number of trunks to
terminate Reciprocal Compensation Traffic to OneEighty as OneEighty
provides to terminate Reciprocal Compensation Traffic to Verizon. At
Verizon sdiscretion, when On~Eighty expressly identifies particular
situations that are ~xpectedto produce traffic that is substantially
skewed in either the inbound or outbound direction, Verizon will
provide the number of trunks OneEightysl.lggests; provided, however
that in all cases Verizon s provision of the forecasted number of trunks
to OneEighty is conditiqned on the following: that such forecast is
based on reasonable engineering criteria, there are no capacity
constraints, and OneEighty's previous forecasts have proven to be
reliable and accurate.
14.Monitorinaand Adiustinq Fore.casts. Verizon will, for ninety
(90) days, monitor traffic on each trunk group that it
establishes at OneEighty's suggestion or request pursuant
to the procedures identified in Section 14.3. At the end of
such ninety-(90) day period, Verizon may disconnect trunks
that, based on reasonable enQineering criteria and capacity
constraints, are not warranted by the actual traffic volume
experienced. If, after such initial ninety (90) day period for a
trunk group, Verizon determines that any trunks in the trunk
group in excess of two (2) DS~ 1 s are not warranted by
actual traffic volumes (considering engineering criteria for
busy Centium Call Second (Hundred Call Second) and
blocking percentages), then Verizon may hold OneEighty
financially responsible for the excess facilities.
In subsequent periods, Verizon may also monitor traffic for
ninety '(90) days on additional trunk groups that OneEighty
suggests or requests Verizon to establish. If, after any such
(90) day period, Verizon determines that any trunks in the
trunk group are hOt warranted by actual traffic volumes
(considering engineering criteria for busy hour Centium Call
Second (Hundred Call Second) and blocking percentages),
then Verizon may hold OneEighty financially responsible for
14.1.2
15.
the excess facilities. At any time during the relevant ninety-
(90) day period, OneEighty may request that Verizon
disconnect trunks to meet a revised forecast. In such
inst~ncesi Verizon may hold OneEighty financially
responsible for the disconnected trunks retroactive to the
start of the ninety (90) day period through the date such
trunks are disconnected.

Where a Party has activated an entire NXX for a single Customer, or activated atleast eighty percent (80%) of an NXXfor a single Customer, with the remaining
numbers in that NXX either reserved for future use by that Customer or otherwise
unused, if such Customer chooses to receive Telephone Exchange Service from
the other Party, the first Party shall cooperate with the second Party to have the
entire NXX reassigned inthe LERG (and associated industry databases, routingtables, etc.) to an End Office operated by the second Party. Such transfer will be
accomplished with appropriate coordination between the Parties and subject to
appropriate industry lead times for movements of NXXs from one switch to

Telecommunications Services fromVerizon with the primary intention of enabling
OneEighty to convert those Telecommunications Services to UNEs or
Combinations, or (ii)itself orders Telecommunications Services from Verizon
without taking delivery of those Telecommunications Services in order to induce
Verizon to construct facilities that OneEighty then converts to UNEs or
Combinations, then Verizon will provide written noticeto OneEighty that its
actions suggest that OneEighty is engaged in a pattern of bad faith conduct. IfOneEightyfaHs to respond to this notice ina manner that is satisfactory to
Venzoh WitHin fifteen (15) Business Days, tHen Verizon shall have the tight, withthirty (30) calendar days advance written notice to OneEig'hty, to institute an
embargo on provision of new services and facilities to OneEighty. This embargo
shall remain in effect until OneEighty provides Verizon with adequate assurances
that the bad faith conduct shall cease. Should OneEighty repeat the pattern of
conduct following the removal of the service embargo, then Verizon may elect to
treat the conduct as an act of material breach in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement that address default.
OneEighty may use a UNE or Combination only for those purposes for which
Verizon is required by Applicable Law to provide such UNE or Combination to
OneEighty. Without limiting the foregoing, OneEighty may use a UNE or
Combination (a) only to provide a Telecommunications Service and (b) to provide
Exchange Access services only to the extent that Verizon is required by
Applicable Law to provide such UNE or Combination to OneEighty in order to
allow OneEighty to provide such Exchange Access services.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:1.4
1.4.1 To the extent Verizon is required by a change in Applicable Law to
provide to OneEighty a UNE or Combination that is not offered under
this Agreement to OneEighty as of the Effective Date, the termsconditions and prices for such UNE or Combination (including, but not
limited to, the terms and conditions defining tne UNE or Combination
and stating when and where the UNE or Combination will be available
and how it will be used , and terms, conditions and prices for pre-
ordering, ordering, provisioning, repair, maint~nance and billing) shall
be as provided in an applicable Verizon Tariff, or, in the absence of an
applicable Verizon Tariff, as mutually agreed in writing by the Parties.
1.4.2 Verizon shall not be obligat~d to provide to OneEighty, and OneEighty
shall not request from Verizon, access to a proprietary advanced
intelligent network service.
Without limiting Verizon srights pursuant to Applicable Law or any other section
of this Agreement to terminate its provision of a UNE or a Combination, if Verizon
provides a UNE or Combination to OneEighty, and the Commission, the FCC, a
court or other govemmental body of appropriate jurisdiction determines or has
determined that Verizon is not required by Applicable Law to provide such UNE
or Combination, Verizon may terminate its provision of such UNE or Combination
to OneEighty. If Verizon terminates its provision of a UNE or a Combination to
OneEighty pursuant to this Section 1.5 and OneEighty elects to purchase other
services offered by Veriz.on in plaee of suCh UNE or Combination , then: (a)
Verizon shall reasQ'nably Gooperate with OneEighty to coordinate the termination
of such UNEor Combination and the instaHation of such ,services to minimize the
interruption of service to Customer-Sof OneEighty; and, (b). QneEighty shall pay
all applicable charges for such services, including, but not limited to, all
applicable Installation charges.

service order shall be prOvided in accordance with industry format and
specifications or such forniat and specifiCations as may be agreed to
by the Parties.
Verizon ICA
14.2 Verizon is conducting a mechanizE!d survey of existing Loop facilities, ona Central Office by Central Office basis, to identify those Loops that
meet the applicable technical characteristics established by Verizon for
compatibility with ADSL, HDSL, IDSL, SDSL and BRIISDN signals.
The result~of this survey will be stored in a mechanized database and
made available to QneEjghty as the proc~ is completed in each
Central Office. OneEig.hty mustutiUze this mechanized loop
qualification database, where available, in advance of submitting a
valid electronic transmittal service order for an ADSL, HDSL, IDSL
SDSL or BRI ISDN Loop. Charges for mechanized loop qualification
information are set forth.in the Pricing Attachment.
14.3 If the Loop is not listedinth,E! mechanized database described in Section
14., OneEighty must request a manual loop qualification prior to
submitting a valid electronic service order for an ADSL, HDSL, SDSL
IDSL, or BRIISDNLoop. The rates for manual loop qualification are
set forth in the Pricing Attachment. In general, Verizon will complete a
manual loop qualification request within three Business Days, although
Verizon may require additional time due to poor record conditions
spikes in demand,or other unforeseen events.
14.4 If a query to the mechanizE!dIoop quaHfication dCitapase or manual loop
qualificationindiC?testhal?L.OPP does notquaJify (e., because it
does not meet thE! appli~ble. technical parameters~t forth in the Loop
descriptionsabove.), One.Eighty may,rE!quest anEngineering Query, as
descri~ed inse.ction 3.14.&, to determine whethe.r the result is due to
characteristi~, of ~hE! IQ9P itself (eog.specifi~ number and location of
bridged taps, the specific number of loael. qoi(s, or the gauge of the
cable).
14.5 If OneEighty submits aserviceorderfor an ADSL, HDSL, SDSL, IDSL
or BRIISDN Loop that has not been prequaHfied, Verizon will query
the service order back to OneEightyfQrqualification and will not accept
such service order until the Loop hasbeenprequalified on a
mechani:zedor manual basIs. If OneEig.htysubmits a service order for
an ADSL, HDSL, SDSL IDSL or BRI1SDN Loop that is, in fact, not
compatible with such services in'its existing condition, Verizon will
respond back to OneEighty with a "Nonqualified" indicator and with
inforrnatiQI'I showing whether the non-qualified result is due to the
presence of load coils, presence of digital loop carrier, or loop length
(including bridged tap).
14.6 Where OneEightyhas followed the prequalification procedure described
above and has determined that a Loop is not compatible with ADSL
HDSL, SDSL, lOSt, or BRIISDN service in its existing condition, it
may either request an Engineering Query to determine whether
conditioning may make the Loop compatible with the applicable
service; or ifOneEigl:1ty is already aware of the conditioning required
(e., whereOneEightyhas previously requested a qualification and
has obtai nee lOop Characteristics), OneEighty may submit a service
order for a DIgital ()esign'eclboop. Verizon will undertake to conditionor extend the LoopHnacCOi"dance with this Section 3.14 upon receipt of
OneEiQhty's valid, accurate and pre-qualified service order for a Digital
Designed Loop.
The Parties will make reasonable efforts to coordinate their respective roles in
order to minimize provisioning problems. In general, where conditioning or loop
Verizon ICA
extensions are requested by OneEighty, an interval of eighteen (18) Business
Days will be required by Verizon to complete the lOop analysis and the necessary
construction work involv~d in conditioning and/or extending the loop as follows:
15.1 Three (3) Business Days Will be required following receipt of OneEighty'
valid, accurate andpre-qualifiedser'vice order for a Digital Designed
Loop to analyze the Jdop and related plant records and to create an
Engineering Work Order.
15.2 Upon completion of an Engineering Work Order, Verizon will initiate the
construction order to perform the changes/modifications to the Loop
requested by OneEighty. Conditioning activities are, in most cases
able to be accomplIshed within fifteen (15) Business Days.
Unforeseen conditions may add to this interval.
After the engineering and conditioning tasks have been completed, the standard
Loop provisioning and instaUation process will be initiated, subject to Verizon
standard provisioning intervals.
If OneEighty requires a change in scheduling, it must contact Verizon to issue a
supplement to the original service order. If OneEighty cancels the request for
conditioning after a loop analysis has been completed but prior to the
commencement of constructlOriwork, OheEightyshall compensate Verizon for
an Engineerihg Work Order charge assetforth ih the Pricing Attachment. If
OneEightycancels the reqiJeStfor conditioning afterthe loop analysis has been
completed and after constructiOn work has started or is complete, OneEighty
shall compensate Verizon for an Engineering Work Order charge as well as the
charges associated with the conditioning tasks perforrhed as set forth in the
Pricing Attachment.
Conversion of Live Telephone Exchange Service to Analog 2W Loops.
17.1 The following coordInation procedures shall apply to "live" cutovers of
VerizonCustomerswho are converting their Telephone Exchange
Services to OneEighty Telephone Exchange Services provisioned over
Analog 2W unbundled Local LOOps ("Analog 2W Loops) to be provided
by Verizon to OneEighty:
17.Coordinated cutover charges shall apply to conversions of
live Telephone Exchange Services to Analog 2W Loops.
When an outside dIspatch is required to perform a
conversion, additional charges may apply. If OneEighty
does not request a coordinated cutover, Verizon will
processOneEighty's Order as a new installation subject to
applicable standard provisioning intervals.
OneEighty shall request Analog 2W Loops for coordinated
cutover from Verizen by delivering to Verizon a valid
electronic Local Service Request ("LSR"). Verizon agrees
to acceptfrom OneEighty the date and time for the
conversiOn designated on the LSR ("Scheduled Conversion
Time ), provided that such designation is within the regularly
scheduled operating hours oHhe Verizon Regional CLEC
Control Center ("RCCC") and subject to the availability of
Verizon s work force. In the event that Verizon s work force
is not available, OneEighty and Verizon shall mutually agree
on a New Conversion Time, as defined below. OneEighty
17.
shall designate the Scheduled Conversion Time subject to
Verizon standard provisioning intervals as stated in the
Verizon CLEC Handbook, as may be revised from time to
time. Within three (3) Business Days of Verizon s receipt ofsuch valid LSR, or as otherwise required by Applicable Law
Verizon shall provide OneEighty the scheduled due date for
conversion of the Analog 2W Loops covered by such LSR.
17.OneEighty shall provide dial tone at the OneEighty
Collocation site at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the
Scheduled Conversion Time.
17.1.4 Either Party may contact the other Party to negotiate a new
Scheduled Conversion Time (the "New Conversion Time
provided, however, that each Party shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide four (4) business hours
advance notice to the other Party ofits request for a New
Conversion Time. . Any Scheduled Conversion Time or New
Conversion Time may not be rescheduled more than one
(1) time in a Business Day, and any two New Conversion
Times for a particular Analog 2W Loop shall differ by at
least eight (8) hours, unless otherwise agreed to by the
Parties.
17.If the New Conversion Time is more than one (1) business
hour from the original Scheduled Conversion Time or from
the previous New Conversion Time, the Party requesting
such New Conversion Time shaH be subject to the following:
17.
17.If Verizon requests to reschedule outside of the
one (1) hour time frame above, the Analog 2W
Loops Service Order Charge for the original
Scheduled Conversion Time or the previous
New Conversion Time shall be waived upon
request from OneEighty; and
17.2 If OneEighty requests to reschedule outside the
one (1) hour time frame above, One Eighty shall
be charged an additional Analog 2W Loops
Service Order Charge for rescheduling the
conversion to the New Conversion Time.
If OneEighty is not ready to accept service at the Scheduled
Conversion Time or at a New Conversion Time, as
applicable, an additional Service Order Charge shall apply.
If Verizon is not available or ready to perform the
conversion within thirty (30) minutes ofthe Scheduled
Conversion Time or New Conversion Time, as applicable
Verizonand OneEighty will reschedule and, upon requestfrom OneEighty, Verizon will waive the Analog 2W Loop
Service Order Charge for the original Scheduled
Conversion Time.
17.The standard time interval expected from disconnection of a
live Telephone Exchange Service to the connection of the
Analog2W Loops to OneEighty is fifteen (15) minutes per
Analog 2W Loop for all orders consisting of twenty (20)
Verizon ICA
Analog 2W Loops or less. Orders involving more than
twenty (20) Loops will require a negotiated interval.
17.Conversions involving LNP will be completed according to
North American Numbering Council ("NANC") standardsvia thereg.ional Number Portability Administration Center
NPAC"
17.If OneEighty requires Analog 2W Loop conversions outside
of the regularly scheduled Verizon RCCC operating hours
such conversions shall be separately negotiated. Additional
charges (e.g. overtime labor charges) may apply for desired
dates and times outside of regularly scheduled RCCC
operating hours.
Verizon shall provide OneEightyaccess to its Loops at each of Verizon s WireCenters for Loops terminating in that Wire Center. In addition, if OneEighty
orders one or more Loops provisioned via Integrated Digital Loop Carrier or
Remote Switching technology deployed as a Loop concentrator, Verizon shall
where available, move the requested Loop(s) to a spare physical Loop, if one is
existing and available, atnoadditional charge to OneEighty. If, however, no
spare physical Loop is available, Verizon shall within three (3) Business Days of
OneEighty's request notify OneEighty of the lack of available facilities.
OneEighty may then at its discretion make a Network Element Bona Fide
Request pursuant to Section 14.3 to Verizon to provide the unbundled Local
Loop through the demultiplexing of the integrated digitized Loop(s). One Eighty
may also make a Network Element Bona Fide Request pursuant to Section 14.
for access to Unbundled Local Loops aUhe Loop concentration site point.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, standard provisioning
intervals shall not apply to Loops provided under this Section 3.18.

Line Sharing" is an arrangement by which Verizon facilitates OneEighty
provision of ADSL (in accordance with T1.413), Splitterless ADSL (in accordance
with T1.419), RADSL (in accordance with TR # 59), Multiple Virtual Line (MVL) (a
proprietary technology), or any other xDSL technology that is presumed to be
acceptable for shared line deployment in accordance with FCC rules, to a
particular Customer location over an existing copper Loop that is being used
simultaneously by Verizon to provide analog circuit-switched voice grade service
to that Customer by making available to OneEighty, solely for OneEighty's ownuse, the frequency range above the voice band on the same copper Loop
required by OneEighty to provide such services. This Section 4 addresses line
sharing over loops that are entirely copper loops.
Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 , Verizon shall provide Line
Sharing to OneEighty for OneEighty's provision of ADSL (in accordance with
T1.413), Splitterless ADSL (in accordance with T1.419), RADSL (in accordance
with TR # 59), MVL (a proprietary technology), or any other xDSL technology that
is presumed to be acceptable for shared line deployment in accordance with
FCC rules, in accordance with this Section 4 and the rates and charges provided
in the Pricing Attachment. Verizon shall provide Line Sharing to OneEighty in
accordance with, but only to the extent required by, Applicable Law. In order for
a Loop to be eligible for Line Sharing, the following conditions must be satisfied
for the duration of the Line Sharing arrangement: (i) the Loop must consist of a
copper loop compatible with an xDSL service that is presumed to be acceptable
for shared-line deployment in accordance with FCC rules; (ii) Verizon must be

Verizon ICA
providing simultaneous circuit-switched ,analog voice grade service to the
Customer served by the Loop in question; (Hi) the Verizon Customer's dial tonemust orig:inate from a Verizon End Office Switch inthe Wire Center where the
Line Sharing al'rangement iseeing Jequ~ted; and (iv) the xDSL technology to bedeployed, by OneEighty on that Loop must not significantly degrade the
performance of other services provided on that Loop.
Verizon shall make Line Sharing avaHaele to OneEighty at the rates and charges
set forth in the Pricing Attachment. In addition to the recurring and nonrecurring
charges shown in the Pricing Attachmeot for Line Sharing itself, the followingrates shown in the Pricing Attachment and in Verizon s applicable Tariffs are
among those that may apply to aUne Sharing arrangement: (i) prequalificationcharges to determine whether a Loop is xDSL compatible (Le., compatible withan xDSL service that is presl.Jm~d, to be acceptable for shared-line deployment inaccordance with FCC rules); (ii)engineering query charges, engineering work
order charg,, or Loop conditioning (Digital Designed Loop) charges; (Hi)
charges associated with Collocation activities requested by OneEighty; and (iv)
misdirected dispatch charges, charges for instaHation or repair, manualintervention surcharges, trouble isolation charges, and pair swap/line and stationtransfer charges.
The following ordering procedures shall apply to Line Sharing:
4.4.1 To determine whether a Loop qualifies for Line Sharing, the Loop must
firstbe prequalified to determine if it is xOSL compatible. OneEighty
must utilize the Lo.op qualification processes described in the terms
applicable to xOSL and DIgital Designed Loops to make this
determination.
4.4.2 OneEighty shall place orders for Line Sharing by delivering to Verizon a
valid electronic transmittal service order or other mutually agreed upon
type of service order. Such service order shall be provided
accordance with industry format and' specifications or such format and
specifications as may be agreed to by the Parties.
4.4.3 If the Loop is prequalified by OneEighty through the Loop prequalification
database, and if a positive response is received and followed by
receipt of One Eighty's valid, accurate and pre-qualified service order
for Line Sharing, Verizon will return an LSR confirmation within twenty-
four (24) hours (weekends and holidays excluded) for LSRs with less
than six (6) loops and within 72 hours (weekends and holidays
excluded) for LSRs with six (6) or more loops.
4.4.4 If the Loop requires qllCilifjcatibn manually or through an Engineering
Query, three (3) additional Business Days will generally be required to
obtain Loop qualification results before an order confirmation can be
returned foHow.ing receipt of OneEighty's valid, accurate request.Verizon may require additional time to complete the Engineering Query
where there are poor record conditions, spikes in demand, or otherunforeseen events.
4.4.If conditioning is required to make a Loop capable of supporting Line
Sharing and OneEighty orders such conditioning, then Verizon shall
provide such conditioning in accordance with the terms of thisAgreement pertaining to Digital Designed Loops; or if this Agreementdoes not contain provisions pertaining to Digital Designed Loops, thenin accordance with Verizon s generally available rates, terms and
Verizon ICA
conditions applicable to Digital Design Loops; provided , however, that
Verizon shall not be obligated to provide Loop conditioning if Verizon
establishes, in the manner required by Applicable Law, that such
conditioning is'likely to degrade significantly the voice-grade service
being provided to Verizon s Customers over such Loops.
4.4.6 The standard Loop provisioning and installation process will be initiated
for the Line Sharing arrangement only once the requested engineering
and conditioning tasks have been completed on the Loop. Scheduling
changes and charges associated with order cancellations after
conditioning work has been initiated are addressed in the terms
pertaining to Digital Designed Loops, as referenced in Section 4.4.5
above. The standard provisioning interval for the Line Sharing
arrangement shall be as set out in the Verizon Product Interval Guide;
provided that the standard provisioning interval for the Line Sharing
arrangement shall not exceed the shortest ofthe following intervals:
(a) siX (6) Business Days; (b) the standard provisioning interval for the
Line Sharing arrangement that is stated in anapplicabJe Verizon Tariff;
, (c) the standard provisioning interval for the Line Sharing
arrangement that is required by Applicable Law. The standard
provisioning interval for the Line Sharing arrangement shall commence
only once any requested engineering and conditioning tasks have
been completed. Line Sharing arrangements that require pair swaps
or line and station transfers in order to free-up facilities may have a
provisioning interval that is longer than the standard provisioning
interval for the Line Sharing, arrangement. In no event shall the Line
Sharing intervaJoffered to OneEighty be longer than the interval
offered to any similarly situated Affiliate of Verizon.
4.4.OneEighty must provide all required Collocation, CFA, Special Bill
Number (SBN) and NC/NGI information when a Line Sharing
Arrangement is ordered. Collocation augments required , either at the
Point of Termination (POT) Bay, Collocation node, or for splitter
placement, mustbe ordered using standard collocation applications
and procedures, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties or specified
in this Agreement.
4.4.8 The Parties recognize that Line Sharing is an offering that requires both
Parties to make reasonable efforts to coordinate their respective roles
in order to minimize provisioning problems and facility issues.
OneEighty will provide reasonable, timely, and accurate forecasts of its
Line Sharing requirements, including splitter placement elections and
ordering preferences. These forecasts are in addition to projections
provided for other stand~aloneunbundled Loop types.
To the extent required by Applicable Law, OneEighty shall provide Verizon with
information regarding the type of xDSL technology that it deploys on each shared
Loop. Where any proposed change in technology is planned on a shared Loop,
OneEighty must provide this information to Verizon in order for Verizon to update
Loop records and anticipate effects that the change may have on the voice grade
service and other Loops in the same or adjacent binder groups.
As described more fully in Verizon Technical Reference 72575, the xDSL
technology used by OneEighty fOr Line Share Arrangements shall operate within
the Power Spectral Density (P$D) limits set forth in T1.413-1998 (ADSL),T1.419-2000 (Splitterless ADSL), or TR59-1999 (RADSL), and MVL (a
proprietary technology) shall operate within the 0 to 4 kHz PSD limits of T1.413-
Verizon ICA
1998 and within the transmit PSD limits of T1.601-1998 for frequencies above 4
kHz, provided that the MVL P$D associated with audible frequencies above 4
kHz shall be sufficiently attenuated to preclude significantly degrading voice
services. OneEighty's deployment of additional Advanced Services shall be
subject to the applicable FCC Rules.
One Eighty may only access the high frequency portion of a Loop in a LineSharing arrangement through an established Collocation arrangement at the
Verizon Serving Wire Center that contains the End Office Switch through which
voice grade service is provided to Verizon s Customer. OneEighty is responsible
for providing, through one of the splitter options described below, a splitter at thatWIre Center that complies with ANSI specification T1.413, employs Direct
Current (DC) blocking capacitors or equivalent technology to assist in isolating
high bandwidth trouble resolution and maintenance to the high frequency portion
of the frequency spectll..lm, ~nd operates so that thearialog voice "dial tone
stCiYS active When the splitter card is removed for testing or maintenance.
OneEighty is also responsible for prOviding its own Digital Subscriber Line
Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) equipment in the Collocation arrangement and any
necessary Customer Provided Equipment (CPE) for the xDSL service it intends
to provide (including CPE splitters, filters and/or other equipment necessary for
the end user to receive separate voice and data services across the shared
Loop).
Two splitter configurations are available. In both configurations, the splitter mustbe provided by OneEighty and must satisfy the same NEBS requirements that
Verizon imposes on its own splitter equipment or the splitter equipment of any
Verizon Affiliate. OneEighty must designate which splitter option it is choosing
on the Collocation appliqation or augment. Regardless of the option selected
the splitter arrangements must be installed before OneEighty submits an order
for Line Sharing.
Splitter Option A (Splitter Option 1): Splitter in OneEighty
Collocation Area
In this configuration, the QneEighty-provided splitter (ANSI T1.413 or MVL
compliant) is provided, installed and maintained by OneEighty in its own
Collocation space within the Customer's serving End Office. The Verizon-
provided dial tone is routed through the splitter in the OneEighty Collocation
area. Any rearrangements will be the responsibility of OneEighty.
Splitter Option C (Splitter Option 2): Splitter in Verizon Area
In this configuration , Verizon inventories and maintains a One Eighty-providedsplitter (ANSI T1.413 or MVL compliant) in Verizon space within the Customer
serving End Office. The splitters will be installed shelf-at-a-time.
In those serving End Offices where Verizon employs the use of a POT Bay for
interconnection of OneEighty's Collocation arrangement with Verizon s networkthe splitter will be installed (mounted) in a relay rack between the POT Bay and
the MDF. The demarcation point is at the splitter end of the cable connecting the
POT Bay and the splitter. Installation of the splitter will be performed by Verizon
, at OneEighty's election , by a Verizon-approved vendor designated by
OneEighty.
In those serving End Offices where Verizon does not employ a POT Bay for
Verizon ICA
interconnection of OneEighty's Collocation arrangement with Verizon s network
the OneEighty provided splitter will be installed (mounted) in a relay rack
between the OneEighty Collocation arrangement and the MDF. The demarcation
point is at the splitter end of the cable connecting the OneEighty Collocation
arrangement and the splitter. Installation of the splitter will be performed by
Verizon, or, at OneEighty's election, by a Verizon-approved vendor designated
by OneEighty.
In either scenario, Verizon will control the splitter and will direct any required
activity. Where a POT Bay is emplOyed, Verizon will also perform all POT Bay
work required in this configuratipn. Verizon will provide a spUtter inventory to
OneEighty upon completion of the required work.
1 Where a new splitter is to be installed as part of an initial Collocation
implementation, the splitter installatiOn may be ordered as part of the
initial Collocation application. Associated Collocation charges
(application and engineering Jees) apply. OneEighty must submit a
new Collocation application, with the application fee, to Verizon
detailing its request. Except as otherwise required by Applicable Law
standard Collocation intervals will apply.
2 Where a new splitter is to be installed as part of an existing Collocation
arrangement, or where the existing Collocation arrangement is to be
augmented (e., with additional terminations at the POT Bay or
OneEighty's collocation arrangement to support Line Sharing), the
splitter installation or augment may be Ordered via an application for
Collocation augment. Associ~ted CollocatiOn charges (application and
engineering fees) apply. OneEighty must submit the application for
Collocation augment, with the application fee, to Verizon. Unless a
longer interval .is stated in Verizon s applicable Tariff, an interval of
seventy-six (76) Business Days shall apply.
OneEighty will have the following options for testing shared Loops:
In serving End Offices where Verizon employs a POT Bay for
interconnection of OneEighty Collocation arrangement with Verizon
network, the following options shaH be available to OneEighty.
Under Splitter Option A, OneEighty may conduct its own
physical tests of the shared Loop from OneEighty'
collocation area. If it chooses to do so, OneEighty may
supply and install a test head to facilitate such physical
tests, provided that: (a) the test head satisfies the same
NEBS requirements that Verizon imposes on its own test
head equiprnentor the test head equipment of any Verizon
Affiliate; and (b) the test head does not interrupt the voice
circuit to any greater degree than a conventional ML T test.
Specifically, the OneEighty-provided test equipment may
not interrupt an in-in~progress voice connection and must
automatically restore any circuits tested in intervals
comparable to ML T. This optional OneEighty-provided test
head will be installed iti OneEighty s COliocaton area
between the "line" port of thes,plitter and the POT Bay in
order to conduct remote physical tests of the shared Loop.
Verizon ICA
Under Splitter Option C, upon request by OneEighty, either
Verizon or, at OneEighty's election, a Verizon-approved
vendor selected byOneEighty will install a OneEighty-
provided test head to enable OneEighty to conduct remote
physical tests of the shared Loop. This optional OneEighty-
provided test head will be installed at a point between the
line" port ofthe splitter and the Verizon-provided test head
that is used by Verizon to conduct its own Loop testing.
The OneEighty-,-provided test head must satisfy the same
NEBS requirements that Verizon imposes on its own test
head equipment or the test head equipment of any Verizon
Affiliate, and may not interrupt the voice circuit to any
greater degree than a conventional ML T test. Specifically,
the OneEighty-provided test equipment may not interrupt an
in-progress voice connection and must automatically restore
any circuits tested in intervals comparable to ML T. Verizon
wiHinventory, control and maintain the OneEighty-providedtestheadand will direct all required activity.
Under either Splitter Option, if Verizon has installed its own
test head, Verizon will conduct tests of the shared Loop
using a Verizon-provided test head, and , upon request, will
provide these test results to OneEighty during normal
trouble isolation procedures in accordance with reasonable
procedures.
1.4 Under either Splitter Option, upon request by OneEighty,
Verjzon )/ViII make ML T access available to OneEighty via
RET AS after the service order has been completed.
OneEighty will utilize the circuit number to initiate a test.
In those serving End Offices where Verizon has not employed a POT
l3ayJor interconnection of OneEighty's Collocation arrangement with
Verizon s netWGrk OneEightywiH not be permitted to supply its own
test head. Instead, Verizon will make a testing system available to
OneEighty through use of the on-line computer interface test system at
www.verizon.comfwise.
3 The Parties wiHcontinue to work cooperatively on testing procedures.
To thIs end, in situations where OneEighty has attempted to use one or
more of the foregoing testing,of')tions but is still unable to resolve the
error or trouble on the shared Loop, Verizon and OneEighty will each
dispatch a technician to an agreed-upon point to conduct a joint meet
test to identify and resolve the error or trouble. Verizon may assess a
charge'for a misdirected dispatch only if the error or trouble is
determined to be one that OneEighty should reasonably have been
able to isolate and diagnose through one of the testing options
available to OneEightyabove. The Parties will mutually agree uponthe specific procedures for conducting joint meet tests.
8.4 V-erizon and OneEighty each have a responsibility to educate theCustomer regarding which service provider should be called for
problems with their respective service offerings. Verizon will retain
primary responsibility for voice band trouble tickets, including repairing
analog voice grade services and the physical line between the NID the Customer premise and the point of demarcation in the Central
Office. OneEighty will be responsible for repairing services it offers
Verizon ICA
over the Line Sharing arrangement. Each Party will be responsible for
maintaining its own equipment. If a splitter or test head that OneEighty
has proVided to Verizon malfunctions, OneEighty shall provide a
replacement splitter or test head to Verizon. Before either Party
initiates any activity on a shared Loop that may cause a disruption of
the service of the other Party, that Party shall first make a good faith
effort to notify the other Party of the possibility of a service disruption.
Verizon and OneEighty will work together to address Customer
initiated repair requests and to prevent adverse impacts to the
Customer.
5 When Verizon provides Inside Wire maintenance services to the
Customer, Verizon will only be responsible for testing and repairing the
Inside Wire for voice-grade services. Verizon will not test, dispatch a
technician, repair, or upgrade Inside Wire to clear trouble calls
associated with OneEighty's Advanced Services. Verizon will not repair
any CPE provided by OneEighty. Before a trouble ticket is issued to
Verizon, OneEighty shan validate whether the Customer is
experiencing a' trouble that arises from OneEighty's service. If the
problem reported is isolated to the analog voice-grade service provided
by Verizon, a trouble ticket may be issued to Verizon.
In the case of a trouble reported by the Customer on its voice-grade
service, if Verizon determines the reported trouble arises from
OneEighty's equipment, splitter problems, or OneEighty's activities
Verizon will:
Notify OneEighty and request that One Eighty immediately
test the trouble on OneEighty's service.
If the Customer's voice grade service is so degraded that
the Customer cannot originate or receive voice grade calls
and OneEighty has not cleared its trouble within a
reasonable time frame, Verizon may take unilateral steps to
temporarily restore the Customer's voice grade service if
Verizon determines in good faith that the cause of the voice
interruption is OneEighty's service.
Upon completion of the steps in 4.1 and 4., above
Verizon may temporarily remove the One Eighty-provided
splitter from the Customer's Loop and switch port if Verizon
determines in good faith that the cause of the voice
interruption is OneEighty's service.
Upon notification from OneEighty that the malfunction in
OneEighty's service has been cleared , Verizon will restore
OneEighty's service by restoring the splitter on the
Customer's Loop.
6.4
Upon completion of the above steps, OneEighty will be
charged a Trouble Isolation Charge (TIC) to recover
Verizon s costs of isolating and temporarily removing the
malfunctioning OneEighty service from the Customer s line
if the cause ofthe voice interruption was OneEighty'
service.
Verizon shall not be liable to OneEighty, the Customer, or
any .other person, for damages of any kind for disruptions to
OneEighty's service that are the result of the above steps
taken in good faith to restore the end user's voice-grade
POTS service, and OneEighty shall indemnify Verizon from
any Claims that result from such steps.
Line Splitting
CLECs may provide integrated voice and data services over the same Loop by engaging
in "Line Splitting" as set forth in paragraph 18 of the FCC's Line Sharing Reconsideration
Order (CC Dock~t Nos. 98.-147, 96-9~),teleased January 19, 2001. Any Line Splittingbetween two CLECs shall be accorT1plishedby prior negotiated arrangement betweenthose CLECs. To achieve a Line Splitting capability, CLECs may utilize supporting
Verizon ass to order and combine in a Line Splitting configuration an unbundled xDSL
capable Loop terminated to a collocated splitter and DSLAM equipment provided by a
participating CLEC, unbundled switching combinedwith shared transport, collocator-to-collocator connections, and available cross-connects, under the terms and conditions set
forth in their Interconnection Agreement(s). The participating CLECs shall provide any
splitters used in a Line Splitting configljration. CLECs seeking to migrate existing UNE
platform configurations to a Line Splitting configurationusirtg the same Network Elements
utilized in the pre-existing platform arrangement, or seek4ngto migrate a Line Sharing
arrangement to a Line Splitting configuration using the existing Loop, a Verizon Local
Switching Network Element, and the existing central office wiring configuration, may do
so consistent with such implementation schedules, terms, conditions and guidelines as
are agreed upon for such migrations in the ongoing DSL Collaborative in the State of
New York, NY PSCCase 00-O127, allowing for local jurisclictional and ass
differences.

caged collocation , which allows a single CLEC to lease caged floor
space to house its equipment within Verizon Premises.
1.2 Shared Caaed. A shared caged arrangement is a newly constructed
caged collocation arrangement that is jointly applied for and occupied
by two or more CLECs within a Verizon Premise. When two or more
Verizon ICA 111
Verizon ICA
CLECs request establishment and jointly apply for a new caged
collocation arrangement to be used as a shared caged arrangement
one of the participating CLECs must agree to be the host CLEC (HC)
and the other(s) to be the guest CLEC (GC). The HC and GC(s) are
solely responsible for determining whether to share a shared caged
collocation arrangement and if so, upon what terms and conditions.
The HC and GC(s) must each be interconnected to Verizon for the
exchange of traffic with Verizon and/or to access unbundled network
elements. Verizon will not issue separate billing for any of the rate
elements associated with the shared caged collocation arrangement
between the HC and the GC(s), but Verizon will provide the HC with
information on the proportionate share of the NRCs for each CLEC in
the shared arrangement. The HC will be responsible for ordering and
payment of all ,collocation applicable services ordered by the HC and
GC(s). The HC and GC will be responsible for ordering their own
unbundled network elements from Verizon. Verizon will separately billthe HC and/or GC(s) for unbundled network elements ordered. The
HC and GC(s) are Verizon s customers and have all the rights and
obligations applicable hereunder to CLECs purchasing collocation-
related services, including, without limitation , the obligation to pay all
applicable charges, whether or not the HC is reimbursed for all or any
portion of such charges by the guest(s) AUterms and conditions for
caged collocation as described in this Attachment will apply to shared
caged collocation requirements.
Subleased Caoed.Vacant space available in a CLEC's caged
collocation arrangement may be made available to a third party(s) for
the purpose of interconnection and/or for access to UNEs in Verizon
Premises via the subleasing collocation arrangement. The CLEC
subleases the floor space to the third party(s) pursuant to terms and
conditions agreed to by the CLEC and the third party(s) involved. The
CLEC and third party(s) must each be interconnected to Verizon for
the exchange of traffic with Verizon and/or to access unbundled
network elements. The CLEC is solely responsible for determining
whether to sublease a shared caged collocation arrangement and if so
upon what terms and conditions. Verizon will not issue separate billing
for any of the rate elements associated with the subleased caged
collocation arrangement between the CLEC and the third party(s). The
CLEC will be responsible for ordering and payment of all collocation
applicable services ordered by the CLEC and the third party(s). Each
CLEC and third party will be responsible for ordering their own
unbundled network elements from Verizon. Verizon will separately bill
the CLEC and third party/parties for unbundled network elements
ordered. The CLEC and third party(s) are Verizon s customers and
have all the rights and obligations applicable hereunder to CLECs
purchasing collocation-related services, including, without limitation
the obligation to pay all applicable charges, whether or not the CLEC is
reimbursed for all or any portion of such charges by the third party(s).
All terms and conditions for caged collocation as described in this
Attachment will apply to subleased caged collocation requirements.
1.4 Caaeless.Cageless collocation is a form of collocation in which CLECs
can place their equipment in Verizon Premises. A cageless collocation
arrangement allows a CLEC, using Verizon approved vendors, toinstall equipment in single bay increments in an area designated by
Verizon. The equipment location will be designated by Verizon and will
112
Verizon ICA
vary based on individual Verizon Premise configurations. CLEC
equipment will not share the same equipment bays with Verizon
equipment.
Adjacent.An adjacent collocation arrangement permits a CLEC to
construct or procure a structure on Verizon property for collocation for
the purposes of interconnection and/or access to UNEs in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Adjacent collocation
is only an option when the following conditions are met: (1) space is
legitimately exhausted in Verizon s Premise for caged and cageless
collocation; and (2) it is technically feasible to construct or procure a
hut or similar structure on Verizon property that adheres to local
building code, zoning requirements, and Verizon building standards.
OneEighty is responsible for complying with all zoning requirements
any federal, state or local regulations, ordinances and laws, andobtaining all associated permits. Verizon may, where required
participate in the zoning approval and permit acquisitions. OneEighty
may not take any action in establishing an adjacent structure that will
force VeriZon to violate any zoning requirements or any federal, state
or local regulations, ordinances, or laws.
Any construction by OneEighty on Verizon property must comply with
Verizon s technical specifications as they relate to environmental
safety and grounding requirements. Verizon will make available power
and physical collocation services to OneEighty in the same non-
discriminatory manner as it provides itself for its own remote
equipment buildings (REBs).
Virtual.Under virtual collocation, Verizon installs and maintains
OneEightyprovided equipment which is dedicated to the exclusive use
of the OneEighty in a collocation arrangement. Additional details on
Virtual Collocation are set forth in Section 1.
Microwave. Physical collocation of microwave transmission facilities will
be permitted on a first-come
, .
first-served basis except where such
collocation is not practical for technical reasons or because of space
limitations. Microwave collocation provides for the interconnection of
OneEighty or Verizon provided facilities, equipment and support
structures located in, on or aboVe the exterior walls and roof of Verizon
premises. Additional details on Microwave Collocation are set forth in
Section 1.10.
Orderino
Application.
Point of Contact.Verizon will establish points of contact for
OneEighty to contact to place a request for collocation. The
point of contact will provide OneEighty with general
information and requirements, including a list of engineering
and technical specifications, fire, safety, security policies
and procedures, and an application form.
Application ForrmlFe.. One Eighty requesting collocation
a Verizon Premise will be required to complete the
application form and submit the non-refundable engineering
fee set forth in Appendix A, described in Section 1., for
113
Verizon ICA
each Verizon Premise at which collocation is requested.
The application form will require OneEighty to provide all
engineering, floor space (where applicable), power
environmental and other requirements necessary for the
function of the service. OneEighty will provide Verizon withspecifications for any non-standard or special requirements
at the time of application. Verizon reserves the right to
assess the customer any additional charges on an
individual case basis ("ICB") associated with complying with
the requirements. Any such charges shall be noticed to
OneEighty.
Verizon will process collocation requests from CLECs on a
first-come, first-serve basis pursuant to Verizon s receipt of
a completed application form and the non-refundable
engineering fee.
Notification of Acceptance/Rejection . Verizon will notify
OneEighty in writing within eight (8) Business Days
following receipt of the completed application if OneEighty'
requirements cannot be accommodated as specified. If the
application is deficient, Verizon will specify in writing, within
eight (8) Business Days, the information that must be
provided by OneEightyin order to complete the application.
If OneEighty resubmits a revised application curing any
deficiencies in their original application within ten (10)
calendar days after being informed of them , OneEighty shall
retain its position within the collocation application queue.
Space Availability. Verizon will notify OneEighty, in writing, within eight
(8) Business Days following receipt of the completed application form
and non-refundable engineering fee if space is available at the
selected Verizon Premise. The response will be one of the following:
There is space and Verizon will proceed with the
arrangement.
There is no space. Verizon will proceed as described in
Section 1.4.
There is no readily available space, however, Verizon will
determine whether space can be made available and will
notify OneEighty within twenty (20) Business Days. At the
end of this period, Verizon will proceed as described in
10r 1.2 above.
1.2.Price Quote. Verizon shall provide OneEighty with a price quote for
collocation services required to accommodate OneEighty's requestwithin eight (8) Business Days of OneEighty's application date
provided that no ICBrates are required in the quote. OneEighty shall
have five (5) Business Days from receipt of the quote to inform
Verizon, in writing, of its intent to proceed with their collocation request
and pay fifty percent (50%) of the applicable Non-Recurring Charges
(NRCs), set forth in Appendix A as described in Section 1.
associated with the ordered collocation services. The remaining 50%
will be billed by Verizon upon completion of the collocation request.

Verizon ICA
2.4 (Intentionally Left Blank).
Auamentati.on.AU requests for an addition or change to an existing
collocation arrangement that has been inspected and turned over to
OneEighty is considered an augmentation. An augmentation request
will require the submission of a complet~ application form and a non-
refundable Engineering or Minor Augmenffee. A Minor Augment feemay not be required under the circumstances outlined below. The
definition of a major or minor augment is as follows:
Major Augments of collocation arrangements are those
requests that: (a) require ACor DC power; (b) add
equipment that generates more BTU's of heat, or (c)increase the floor space over what OneEighty requested in
its original application. A complete application and
Engineering Fee will be required when submitting a request
that requires a Major Augment.
Minor Augments of collocation arrangements will require the
submission of a complete 9Pplication form and the Minor
Augment Fee. Minor augments are those requests that: (a)
do not require additional DC and AC power, (b) do not add
equipmentthatg~neratesmore BTU's of heat, or (c) do notincrease floor space, over what OneEighty requested in its
original application. The requirements of a Minor Augment
request cannot exceed the capacity of the existing/proposed
electrical, power or HVAC system. Requests for additional
DSO, DS1 , and DS3 facility terminations to access
Verizon s unbundled network elements are included as
Minor Augments.
Minor Augments that require an augment fee are those
requests that require Verizon to perform a service or
function on behalf of OneEighty including but not limited to:
installation of Virtual equipment cards or software upgrades
removal of Virtual equipment, requests to pull cable from
exterior microwave facilities, and requests to terminate DSO
DS1 and DS3 cables.
Minor Augments that do not require a fee are those
augments performed solely by OneEighty, that do not
require Verizon to provide a service or function on behalf of
OneEighty, including but not limited to, requests to install
additional equipment in OneEighty collocation space. Prior
to the installation of the additional equipment, OneEightyagrees to provide Verizon an application form with an
updated equipment listing that includes the new equipment
to be installed in OneEighty's collocation arrangement.
Once the equipment list is submitted to Verizon, OneEightymay proceed with the augment. OneEighty agrees that
changes in equipment provided by OneEighty under this
provision will not exceed the engineering specifications for
power and HVAC as requested on original application. All
augments will be subject to Verizon inspection , inaccordance with term of this contract for the purpose of
ensuring compliance with Verizon safety standards.
115
Verizon ICA
Expansion. Verizon will not be required to construct additional space to
provide for OneEighty collocation when available space has been
exhausted. Where OneEighty seeks to expand its existing collocation
space, Verizon shall make contiguous space available to the extent
possible; provided, however, Verizon does not guarantee contiguous
sp(3ce to OneEighty to expand its existing collocation space.
OneEighty requests for expansion of existing space within a specific
Verizon Premise willrequire the submissiOn of an application form and
the appropriate Major Augment fee.
Relocation. OneEighty requests for relocation of the termination
equipment from one location to a different location within the same
Verizon Premise will be handled on an ICB basis. OneEighty will be
responsible for all costs associated with the relocation of its equipment.
Installation and Operation
Joint Planninq and Implementation Levels.Where conditioned space is
readily available, the implementation interval for Caged and Cageless
collocation requests is seventy-six (76) Business Days for all standard
requests which were properly forecast six (6) months prior to the
application date, subject to the conditions set forth. Should unique
circumstances arise such as major construction obstacles or special
OneEighty requirements, upon notification to OneEighty, a time
extension of no greater than fifteen (15) Business Days will apply.
Intervals for non-standard arrangements, including, but not limited to
Adjacent collocation shall be mutually agreed upon by OneEighty and
Verizon.
The following standard implementation milestones, in
Business Days, will apply unless OneEighty and Verizon
jointly decide otherwise:
Day 1: OneEighty submits completed
application and associated Engineering/Major
Augment Fee.
Day 9: Verizon notifies OneEighty that request
can be accommodated.
Day 14: OneEighty notifies Verizon of its intent
to proceed and submits 50% payment as set
forth in Section 1.
1.4 Day 76: Verizon and OneEighty attend a Joint
Inspection meeting and Verizon turns over the
collocatiOn space to the OneEighty.
Verizon and OneEighty shall work cooperatively in meeting these
milestones and deliverables as determined during the joint planning
process. Verizon will schedule a meeting with OneEighty to determine
engineering and network requirements. A preliminary schedule will be
developed outlining major milestones. OneEighty and Verizon control
various interim milestones they must complete in order to meet the
overall intervals. The interval clock will stop, and the final due date willbe adjusted accordingly, for each milestone OneEighty misses (day for
day). When Verizon becomes aware of the possibility of vendor
116
delays, Verizon will first contact OneEighty to attempt to negotiate a
new interval. Verizon and OneEighty shall conduct additional joint
planning meetings, as reasonably required , to ensure that all knownissues are discussed and to address any that may impact the
implementation process. Verizon will permit OneEighty to schedule
one escorted visit to OneEighty's collocation space during
construction. The applicable labor rates in Appendix A will be appliedfor the escorted visit
Prior to OneEighty beginning the installation of its
equipment, OneEighty must sign Verizon work completion
notice, indicating acceptance of the collocation space.
OneEighty may not install any equipment or facilities in the
collocation space until the receipt by Verizon of the work
completion notice. Prior to One Eighty beginning the
installation of equipment in a cage, bay or cabinet
OneEightyand Verizon must conduct a joint inspection of
the designated collocation space. Verizon shall notify
OneEighty of the date the collocation arrangement is ready
for the joint inspection. OneEighty has ten (10) Business
Days to meet Verizon at the site of the collocation
arrangement. Upon acceptance of the arrangement by
OneEighty, billing wHlbe initiated, access cards will be
issued and OneEighty may begin installation of equipment.
If OneEighty does not attend the joint inspection within the
specifredten (10) Business Days, Verizon will initiate billing
for all monthly and nonrecurring charges.
Unconditioned space conversion timeframes fall outside the
normal intervals and are negotiated on an individual case
basis based on negotiations with the site preparation
vendor(s). Verizon will use its best efforts to minimize the
additional time required to condition collocation space, and
will inform OneEighty of the time estimates as soon as
possible.
3.2 Forecastinq and Use of Data
Verizon ICA
Verizon will requeSt Caged and Cageless forecasts from
OneEighty on a semi-annualbasis, with each forecast
covering a two-year period. OneEighty will be required to
update the near-term (6-month) forecasted application
dates. Information requested will include central office
month applications are expected to be sent, requested in-service month, preference for Caged or Cageless
collocation, and square footage required.
Unforecasted demand will be given a lesser priority than
forecasted demand. Verizon will make every attempt to
meet standard intervals for unforecasted requests.
However, if unanticipated requests push demand beyond
Verizon s capacity limits, Verizon will negotiate longer
intervals as required (and within reason). In general, ifforecasts are received less than two (2) months prior to the
application date, the interval start day may be postponed asfollows:
117
No forecast: Interval Start Date commences two
(2) months after application date.
Forecast received one month prior to application
date: Interval Start Date commences two (2)
months after application date.
Forecast received two (2) months prior to
application date: Interval Start Date commences
one month after application date.
Any such interval adjustments will be discussed with
OneEighty at the time the application is received.
Collocation Capacity
Verizon s estimate of its present capacity (Le., no more than
an increase of 15% over the average number of
applications received for the preceding three months in a
particular geographic area) is based on current staffing and
current vendor arrangements. If the forecasts indicate
spikes in demand, Verizon will attempt to smooth the
demand via negotiations with the forecasting CLECs. If
Verizon and OneEighty fail to agree to smooth demand
Verizon will determine if additional expenditures would be
required to satisfy the spikes in demand and will work with
the Commission Staff to determine whether such additional
expenditure is warranted and to evaluate cost recovery
options.
If Verizon augments its workforce based on forecasts
Verizon reserves the right to hold CLECs accountable for
the accuracy of their forecasts.
Vendor Capacity. Verizon will continuously seek to improve vendor
performance for all premises work, including collocation. Since the
vendors require notice in order to meet increases in demand, Verizon
will share OneEighty actual and forecasted demand with appropriate
vendors, as required , subject to the appropriate confidentiality
safeguards. Verizon will seek assistance from the CLECs to resolve
vendor inability to meet demands.
Responsibility for Vendor Delays. No party shall be excused from their
obligations due to the acts or omissions of a Party s subcontractorsmaterial, men, suppliers or other third persons providing such products
or services to such Party unless such acts or omissions are the
product of a Force Majeure Event, or unless such delay or failure and
the consequences thereof are beyond the reasonable control and
without the fauJt or negligence of the Party claiming excusable delay or
failure to perform.
Space Preparation.
Verizon ICA
Caoe Construction . For caged collocation, OneEighty mayconstruct the cage with a standard enclosure if they are a
Verizon approved contractor or OneEighty may subcontract
this work to a Verizon approved contractor.
118
Verizon ICA
Site Selection/Power.Verizon shall designate the space
within its Premise wh~re OneEighty shall collocate its
equipment Verizon will assign collocation space to
OneEighty in a just, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory
manner. Verizon will allow OneEighty requesting caged or
cageless collocation to submit space preferences on the
Application Form prior to assigning caged and cageless
collocation space to OneEighty. Verizon will assign caged
and cageless space in accordance with the following
standards: (1 ) One Eighty's collocation costs cannot be
materially increased by the assignment; (2) OneEighty'
occup~tion and use of Verizon s premises cannot be
materially delayed,by the assignment; (3) The assignment
cannot impair the quality of service or impose other
limitations on the service OneEighty wishes to offer, and (4)
The assignment cannot reduce unreasonably the total
space available for caged and cageless collocation, or
preClude unreasonably, caged and cageless collocation
within Verizon s premises.
Verizon may assign caged and cageless collocation to
space separate from space housing Verizon s equipment
provided that each of the following conditions is met: (1)
Either legitimate security concerns, or operational
constraints unrelated to Verizon s or any of its affiliates' or
subsidiaries pompetitive concerns, warrant such separation;
(2) Any caged and cageless collocation space assigned to
an affiliate or subsidiary of Verizon is separated from space
housing Verizon s equipment; (3) The separated space will
be available in the same time frame as, or a shorter time
frame than, non-separated space; (4) The cost of the
separated space to OneEighty will not be materially higher
than the cost of non-separated space; and (5) The
separated space is comparable, from a technical and
engineering standpoint, to non-separated space.
Where applicable, Verizon shall provide, at the rates set
forth in Appendix A described in Section 1., 48V DC
power with generator and/or battery back-up, heat, air
conditioning and other environmental support to
OneEighty's equipment in the same standards and
parameters required for Verizon equipment within that
Verizon Premise. OneEighty may install AC convenience
outlets and overhead lighting if OneEighty is a Verizon
approved contractor, or this work may be subcontracted to a
Verizon approved contractor.
DC Power.Verizon will provide DC power to the collocation
arrangement as specified by OneEighty in its Collocation
application. The OneEighty will specify the load on each
feed and the size of the fuse to be placed on each feed.
Charges for DC power will be applied based on the total
number of load amps ordered on each feed.
For example, if OneEighty orders a total of 40 load amps of
DC power and an A and B feed, OneEighty could order 20
119
6.4
Verizon ICA
load amps on the Afeed and 20 load amps on the B feed.
Verizon will permit OneEighty to order a fuse size up to 2.
times the load amps ordered provided that applicable law
permits this practice. Thus, OneEighty could order that
each feed be fused at 50 amps if OneEighty wants one feed
to carry the entire load in the event the other feed fails.
Accordingly, OneEighty will be charged on the basis of the
total number of load amps ordered , Le., 40 amps, and not
based on the total number of amps available for the fuse
size ordered.
OneEighty is responsible for engineering the power
consumption in its Collocation arrangements and therefore
must cOnsider any special circumstances in determining the
fused capacity of each feed. Verizon will engineer the
power feeds to the Collocation arrangement in accordance
with industry standards based upon requirements ordered
by OneEightyin its Collocation application. Any subsequent
orders to increase DC power load at a Collocation
arrangement must be submitted on a Collocation
application.
Verizon reserves the right to perform random inspections to
verify the actual power load being drawn by a Collocation
arrangement. At any time, without written notice, Verizon
may measure the DC power drawn at an arrangement by
monitoring the power distribution point. In those instances
where Verizon needs access to the Collocation
arrangement to make these measurements, Verizon will
schedule a joint meeting with OneEighty.
If the inspection reveals that the power being drawn does
not exceed the total number of load amps ordered , no
further action will apply.
If the inspection reveals that the power being drawn is
greater than 100% and up to 110% of the total number of
load amps ordered, Verizon will provide OneEighty with
written notification by certified U.S. Mail to the person
designated by OneEighty to receive such notice that more
power is being drawn than was ordered. Within five (5)
Business Days ofthe date of notification, OneEighty must
reduce the power being drawn to match its ordered load or
revise its power requirement to accommodate the additional
power being drawn. Failure to reduce the power being
drawn or submit a revised application within the five (5)
Business Days will result in an increase in the amount of
power being billed to 110% of the power ordered in the
application on file.
If the inspection reveals that the power being drawn is
greater than 110% of the total number of load amps
ordered, that arrangement is subject to the following
treatment:
120
Verizon ICA
Verizon will provide OneEighty with written
notification by certified U.S. Mail to the person
designated by OneEighty to receive such notice
that it has exceeded its ordered power.
Additional Labor charges, as set forth in
Appendix A, apply for the cost associated with
performing this inspection.
Verizon will bill OneEighty for the full fused
capacity for each of the next six (6) bill periods
following the inspection.
8.4 After six (6) months of full fused capacity billing,
and upon receipt of an application to revise the
power required at that arrangement, Verizon will
adjust .the billing to reflect OneEighty's revised
power requirement. In the event that a revised
application is not submitted, billing at full fused
capacity will continue until a revised application
is received.
Within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of
notification, OneEighty must submit a non-
scheduled attestation of the power being drawn
at each of its remaining Collocation
arrangements. Failure to submit this non-
scheduled attestation will result in the
application of Additional Labor charges set forth
in Appendix A for any subsequent DC power
inspections Verizon performs prior to receipt of
the next scheduled attestation. Scheduled
attestations are described in Section 1.
following.
Annually, OneEighty must submit a written statement
signed by a responsible officer of OneEighty, which attests
that it is not exceeding the total load of power as ordered in
its Collocation applications. This attestation, which must be
received by Veriion ' no later than the last day of June, shall
individually list all of OneEighty's completed Collocation
arrangements provided by Verizon in all of its operating
territdties. If OneEighty fails to submit this written statement
by the last day in June, Verizon will notify OneEighty in
writing that it has thirty (30 days) to submit its power
attestation. Failure to submit the required statement within
the 30 day notice period will result in the billing of DC power
at each Collocation arrangement to be increased to the total
number of amps fused.
Whenever Verizonis required to perform work on
ColloCation arrangement as a result of OneEighty's order for
a reduction in power requirements (e., change in fuse
size), Verizon will assess a nonrecurring charge for the
additioncallabor. The nonrecurring charge applies for the
first half hour (or fraction thereof) and for each additional
121
half hour (or fraction thereof) per technician , per occurrenceas shown in Appendix A
If OneEighty orders a change in the power configuration
requiring new -48 volt DC power feeds to the Collocation
arrangement, Verizon will require an Engineering/Major
Augment Fee with an application, as set forth in Appendix
, subject to the terms and conditions described in Section
5. In addition, if OneEighty's order for a reduction in DC
power triggers the deployment of power cabling to a
different power distribution point, the Engineering/Major
Augment Fee as set forth in Appendix A applies. Verizon
will work cooperatively with OneEighty to configure the new
power distribution cables and disconnect the old ones.
Eauipmentand Facilities
Verizon ICA
Purchase of Eauipment.OneEighty will be responsible for
supply, purchase, delivery, installation and maintenance of
its equipment and equipment bay(s) in the collocation area.
Verizon is not responsible for the design, engineering, or
performance of OneEighty s equipment and provided
facilities for collocation. Upon installation of all transmission

Verizon.
Permissible Eauipment.Verizon shall permit the collocation
and use of any equipment necessary for interconnection or
access to unbundled network elements in accordance with
the following standards: (1) Equipment is necessary for
interconnection if an inability to deploy that equipment
would, as a practical, economic, or operational matter
preclude One Eighty from obtaining interconnection with
Verizon (ita level equal in quality to that which Verizon
obtains within its own network or Verizon provides to any of
its affiliates, subsidiaries, or other parties; and (2)
Equipment is necessary for access to an unbundled
network element if an inability to deploy that equipment
would, as a practical, economic, or operational matter
preclude OneEighty from obtaining nondiscriminatory
access to that unbundled network element, including any of
its features, functions, or capabilities.
Multi-functional equipment shall be deemed necessary for
interconnection or access to an unbundled network element
if and only if the primary purpose and function of the
equipment, as OneEighty seeks to deploy it, meets either or
both of the standards set forth in the preceding paragraph.
For a piece of equipment to be utilized primarily to obtain
equal in quality interconnection or nondiscriminatory access
to one or more unbundled network elements, there also
must be a 10gical'ne?Cus between the additional functions the
equipment would perform and the telecommunication
services OneEignty seeks to provide to its customers by
means of the interconnection or unbundled network
122

Verizon ICA
element The collocation of those functions of the
equipment that, as stand-alone functions, do not meet either
of the standards set forth in the preceding paragraph must
not cause the equipment to significantly increase the burden
on Verizon s property.
Whenever Verizon objects to collocation of equipment by
OneEighty for purposes within the scope of Section
251 (e)(6) of the Act, Verizon shall prove to the state
commission that the equipment is not necessary for
interconnection or access to unbundled network elements
under the standards set forth above.
OneEighty may place in its caged collocation space
ancillary equipment such as cross connect frames, and
metal storage cabinets. Metal storage cabinets must meet
Verizon Premise environmental standards.
Specifications.OneEighty equipment must fully comply
with BeUcore Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS)

meets Verizon standards. Verizon is responsible for placing
One Eighty's fire retardant riser cable from the cable vault to
the collocation space. Verizon is responsible for installingOneEighty provided fiber optic cable in the cable space or
conduit from the first manhole to the premises. This may be
shared conduit with dedicated inner duct. If OneEighty
provides its own fiber optic facility, then OneEighty shall be
responsible for bringing its fiber optic cable to the Verizon
Premise manhole. OneEighty must leave sufficient cable
length for Verizon to be able to fully extend such cable
through to OneEighty's collocation space.
Manhole/Splicina Restrictions. Verizon reserves the right to
prohibit all equipment and facilities, other than fiber optic
cable, in its manholes. OneEighty will not be permitted to
splice fiber optic cable in the first manhole outside of the
Verizon Premise. Where OneEighty is providing
underground fiber optic cable in Manhole #1 , it must be of
sufficient length as specified by Verizon to be pulled through
the Verizon Premise to OneEighty s collocation space.
Verizon is responsible for installing a cable splice, if
necessary, where OneEighty provided fiber optic cable
meets Verizon standards within the Verizon Premise cable
vault or designated splicing chamber. Verizon will provide
space and racking for the placement of an approved
secured fire retardant splice enclosure.
Access Points and Restrictions. Points of interconnection
and demarcation between OneEighty's facilities and
Verizon s facilities will be designated by Verizon. This
point(s) will be a direct connection(s) to OneEighty'

access to the Verizon s unbundled network elements. Verizon
shall provide such DTS connections from OneEighty'
collocation arrangement to another collocation arrangement of
OneEighty within the same Verizon premises, or to a
collocatiOn arrangement of another CLEC in the same Verizon
premises. DTS is provided at the same transmission level from
One Eighty to another CLEC.
The DTS arrangement requires OneEighty to provide cable
assignment information for itself as well as for the other CLEC.
Verizohwill riotmake cable assignments for DTS. OneEighty
is responsible for all DTS ordering, bill payment, disconnect
orders and maintenance transactions and is the customer of
record. Wheninitiating a DTS request, OneEighty must
submit an Access Service Request (ASR) and a letter of
agency from the CLEC it is connecting to that authorizes the
DTS connection and facility assignment. DTS is provided on a
negotiated interval With One Eighty.
10 Optical Facility Terminations. If OneEighty requests access
to unbundled dark fiber and unbundled optical interoffice
facilities, OneEighty may apply for a fiber optic patchcord
connection(s) between Verizon s fiber distribution panel
Verizon ICA 125
(FDP) and OneEighty s collocated transmission equipment

OneEighty may also use the electronic interface, where available, to query the 911/E-911database to verify the accuracy of OneEighty Customer information.
911 Interconnection
Verizon and OneEighty will use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the prompt
robust, reliable and efficient interconnection of OneEighty systems to the 911/E-911platforms and/or systems.
911 Facilities
OneEighty shall be responsible for providing facilities from the OneEighty End Office to
the 911 Tandem or selective router. OneEighty shall deploy diverse routing of 911 trunkpairs to the 911 tandem or selective router.
Local Number Portability for use with 911
The Parties acknowledge that until Local Number Portability (LNP) with full 911/E-911compatibility is utilized for all ported telephone numbers, the use of Interim NumberPortability ("INP") creates a special need to have the Automatic Location Identification
(All) screen reflect two numbers: the "old" number and the "new" number assigned byOneEighty. Therefore, for those ported telephone numbers using INP, OneEighty willprovide the 911/E-911 database with both the forwarded number and the directory
number, as well as all other required information including the appropriate address
information for the customer for entry into the 911/E-911 database system. Further
OneEighty will outpulse the telephone number to which the call has been forwarded (that
, the Customer's ANI) to the 911 Tandem office or selective router. OneEighty will
include their NENA five character Company Identification ("COlD") for inclusion in the Alldisplay.
OneEighty is required to enter data into the 911/E-911 database under the NENAStandards for LNP. This includes, but is not limited to, using OneEighty's NENACOlD to lock and unlock records and the posting of OneEighty's NENA COlD tothe All record where such locking and migrating feature for 911/E-911 recordsare available or as defined by local standards.
PSAP Coordination
Verizon and OneEighty will work cooperatively to arrange meetings with PSAPs to
answer any technical questions the PSAPs, or county or municipal coordinators mayhave regarding the 911/E-911 arrangements.
911 Compensation
OneEighty will compensate Verizon for connections to its 911/E-911 platform and/orsystem pursuant to the rate schedule included in the Pricing Attachment.
911 Rules and Regulations
OneEighty and Verizon will comply with all applicable rules and regulations (including 911
taxes and surcharges as defined by local requirements) pertaining to the provision of
911/E-911 services in Idaho.
