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 Aftachment, may be modified from time to time by
either Party only with the wriften consent of the other Pafi.
1.2 lndirectlnterconnection
The Parties agree that initially and for so long as traffic volumes do not wanant direct interconnection,
traffic shall be exchanged by transiting such traffic through third party LEC tandems. Each Party shall
be financially and operationally responsible for the entire costs of providing facilities from its network to
the POI for the exchange of such traffic.
1.3 Directlnterconnection
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 TDS Metrocom's network anda given PMT end office,
the Parties agree, to negotiate in good faith the mutual need for a direct interconnection between TDS
Metrocom's network and the affected PMT end office, when either Party makes such request for direct
interconnection.
1.4 Direct lnterconnection is required at one or more of the following locations:
a) PO! at the PMT local tandem office, where available, which will provide switched
lnterconnection toPMT End Users served by subtending host and remote offices
b) a POI will be at the PMT Host Office, which will provide switched lnterconnection to
PMT's End Users' served by that host office and subtending remote offices.
1.5 Each Party will be responsible for the engineering and construction of its own network facilities on
its side of the POl. lf TDS Metrocom uses a third par$ network to reach the POl, TDS Metrocom will bear
all third party TDS Metrocom charges for facilities and traffic in both directions on its side of the POl.
1.6 TDS Metrocom will be responsible for establishing separate trunk groups for:
1.6.1 lntraLATA Trunk Group - allows access to all codes which subtend the interconnected
PMT tandem or host office.
1.6.2 lnterLATA Trunk Group- enables lnterexchange Carriers to originate and terminate traffic
from/to TDS Metrocom or for TDS Metrocom and PMT to exchange traffic that is not served bythe
PMT tandem TDS Metrocom is interconnected too.

1.9 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.
1.10 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 Switched Access charges where TDS Metrocom is acting as an lnterexchange
canier. 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.
1.11 TDS Metrocom will not expect PMT's local end office switches to act as a tandem on TDS
Metrocom's behalf nor will PMT expect TDS Metrocom's local end office switches to act as a tandemon
PMT's behalf.
1.12 This Agreement is applicable only to PMT's serving areas. PMT will not be responsible for
lnterconnections or contracts relating to any TDS Metrocom's lnterconnection with any other service
provider or telecommunications canier.

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 Speciflcation (TDS Metrocom SNIS) Supporting
lnterconnection, Message Transfer Part (MTP), and lntegrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
User Part (ISUP) "including ISDN User Part (.|SUP") for trunk signaling and Transaction
Capabilities Application Part ("TCAP") for TDS Metrocom S-based features in the lnterconnection
of their networks. For glare resolution, PMT will have priority on odd trunk group member circuit
identification codes, and TDS Metrocom will have priority on even trunk group member circuit
identification codes, unless otherwise mutually agreed.
SECTION 2. Testinq and Trouble Responsibilities
The Parties agree to:
2.1 Cooperatively plan and implement coordinated repair procedures for the local lnterconnection
trunks and facilities to ensure trouble reports are resolved in a timely and appropriate manner.

daylT days a week.
2.7 Based on the trunking architecture, provide for mutual tests for system assurance for the proper
recording of AMA records in each company's switch. These tests are repeatable on demand by either
Party upon reasonable notice.
2.8 A maintenance service charge applies whenever either Pafi requests the dispatch of the other
Party's personnel for the purpose of performing maintenance activity on the lnterconnection trunks, and
any of the following conditions exist:
2.8.1 No trouble is found in the lnterconnection trunks; or
2.8.2 The trouble condition results from equipment, facilities or systems not provided by the
Party whose personnel were dispatched; or
2.8.3 Trouble clearance did not otherwise require a dispatch, and upon dispatch requested for
repair verification, the lnterconnection trunk does not exceed maintenance limits.
2.8.4 lf a maintenance service charge has been applied and trouble is subsequently found in
the facilities of the Party whose personnel were dispatched, the charge will be canceled.
2.8.5 Billing for maintenance service is based on PMT's respective tariff, if applicable.
SECTION3. lnterconnection Forecastinq
3.1 Semi-annually TDS Metrocom will provide PMT a one (1) year forecast for expected trunk
utilization. Orders for trunks that exceed forecasted quantities for forecasted locations will be
accommodated as facilities and/or equipment are available.
3.2 The forecasts will include the number, type and capacity of trunks as well as a description of
major network projects anticipated for the following six months. Major network projects include trunking
or network rearrangements, shifts in anticipated traffic patterns, or other activities that are
reflected by asignificant increase or decrease in trunking demand for the following forecast
period.
3.3 lf a trunk group is under 75 percent of centum call seconds capacity on a monthly average basis
for each month of any six month period, either Party may issue an order to resize the trunk group, which
will be left with not less than 25 percent excess capacity. The grade of service for all final facilities
between PMT's central office and TDS Metrocom's will be engineered to achieve P.01 grade of service.
SECTION 4. Reciprocal Comoensation for the Transport and Termination of lnterchanoed
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.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 LocalTraffic each Party
terminates to be comparable, thereby justifying the use of combined trunks for Local Traffic and
lSP Bound Traffic under Aftachment 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.
The fact that ISP Bound Traffic and de minimus amounts of LocalTraffic are

Agreement for any other traffic or services, including but not limited to facilities for
lnterconnection under Section 1 of this Attachment 1 and Access Services traffic.
4.3 VolP Traffic. VolP Traffic exchanged pursuant to this Agreement will be govemed by the default
provisions of USF/ICC Transformation Order FCC 11-161 (rel. November 18, 2011) 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 clari$, and subject to anyfuture 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 minoring and default phase-down requirements
