Re: Requested Adoption Under Section 252(i) of the T A96
Dear Mr. Weiner:
Verizon Northwest Inc., f!k/a GTE Northwest Incorporated ("Verizon ), a Washington
corporation, with principal place of business at 1800 41st Street, Everett, Washington
98201 , has received your letter stating that, under Section 252(i) of the
Telecommunications Act of1996 (the "Act"), XO Idaho, Inc. ("XO"), a Washington
corporation, with principal place of business at 11111 Reston Hills, Reston, Virginia
20190-5339, wishes to adopt certain terms of the Interconnection Agreement between
One Eighty Networks, Inc. d/b/a One Eighty Networks ("One Eighty ) and V erizon that
was approved by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (the "Commission ) as an
effective agreement in the State of Idaho, as such agreement exists on the date hereof
after giving effect to operation of law. XO agrees to adopt only the following provisions
from the One Eighty agreement, including associated definitions (i.e., the applicable
definitions for this adoption of any capitalized phrases referred to in the following
sections of the One Eighty agreement shall be from the Section 2 of the Glossary
(Definitions) of the One Eighty agreement, which definitions, for avoidance of doubt
shall apply only to this adoption):
The Network Elements Attachment.
(The provisions of the One Eighty agreement specifically identified above as subject to
the adoption shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Terms ). I understand XO has a copy
XO-
of the Terms, which, in aI!y event, are attached hereto as Appendix 1. Please note the
following with respect to XO's adoption of the Terms.
By XO's countersignature on this letter, XO hereby represents and agrees to the
following five points:
(A)XO adopts (and agrees to be bound by) the Terms of the OneEightyNerizon
agreement for interconnection as it is in effect on the date hereof after giving
effect to operation of law, and in applying the Terms, agrees that XO shall be
substituted in place of OneEighty Networks, Inc. and OneEighty in the Terms
wherever appropriate.
(B) For avoidance of doubt, adoption of the Terms does not include adoption of
any provision imposing an unbundling obligation on Verizon that no longer
applies under the Report and Order and Order on Remand (FCC 03-36)
released by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") on August 21
2003 in CC Docket Nos. 01-338, 96-, 98-147 ("Triennial Review Order
which became effective on October 2, 2003. In light of the effectiveness of
the Triennial Review Order, any reasonable period of time for adopting such
provisions has expired under the FCC's rules implementing section 252(i) of
the Act (see, e.47 CFR Section 51.809(c)).
(C) Notice to XO and Verizon as may be required under the Terms shall be
provided as follows:

(D)XO represents and warrants that it is a certified provider of local
telecommunications service in the State of Idaho, and that its adoption of
the Terms will cover services in the State of Idaho only.
(E)In the event an interconnection agreement between Verizon and XO is
currently in effect in the State of Idaho (the "Original ICA"), this adoption
shall be an amendment and restatement of the operating terms and
conditions of the Network Elements terms of the Original ICA, and shall
replace in their entirety the Network Elements terms of the Original ICA.
This adoption is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed to create, a
novation or accord and satisfaction with respect to the Original ICA: . Any
outstanding payment obligations of the parties that were incurred but not
fully performed under the Original ICA shall constitute payment
obligations of the parties under this adoption.
(F)Verizon s standard pricing schedule for interconnection agreements in the
State of Idaho (as such schedule may be amended from time to time)
(attached as Appendix 2 hereto) shall apply to XO's adoption of the
Terms. XO should note that the aforementioned pricing schedule may
contain rates for certain services the terms for which are not included in
the Terms or that are otherwise not part of this adoption, and may include
phrases or wording not identical to those utilized in the Terms. In an
effort to expedite the adoption process, Verizon has not deleted such rates
from the pricing schedule or attempted to customize the wording in the
pricing schedule to match the Terms. However, the inclusion of such rates
in no way obligates Verizon to provide the subject services and in no way
waives Verizon s rights, and the use of slightly different wording or
phrasing in the pricing schedule does not alter the obligations and rights
set forth in the Terms.
XO's adoption of the OneEighty Terms shall become effective on February 2
2004. Verizon shall file this adoption letter with the Commission promptly upon
receipt of an original of this letter countersigned by an authorized officer of XO.
The term and termination provisions of the OneEighty erizon agreement shall
govern XO's adoption of the Terms. The adoption of the Terms is currently
scheduled to expire on May 7, 2004.
As the Terms are being adopted by you pursuant to your statutory rights under
section 252(i), Verizon does not provide the Terms to you as either a voluntary or
XQ-
negotiated agreemept. The filing and performance by Verizon of the Terms does
not in any way constitute a waiver by Verizon of any position as to the Terms or a
portion thereof, nor does it constitute a waiver by Verizon of all rights and
remedies it may have to seek review of the Terms, or to seek review in any way of
any provisions included in these Terms as a result of XO's 252(i) election.
Nothing herein shall be construed as or is intended to be a concession or admission
by Verizon that any provision in the Terms complies with the rights and duties
imposed by the Act, the decisions of the FCC and the Commissions, the decisions
of the courts, or other law, and Verizon expressly reserves its full right to assert and
pursue claims arising from or related to the Terms.
Verizon reserves the right to deny XO's adoption and/or application of the Terms
in whole or in part, at any time:
(a)when the costs of providing the Terms to XO are greater than the costs of
providing them to OneEighty;
if the provision of the Terms to XO is not technically feasible; and/or
to the extent that Verizon otherwise is not required to make the Terms
available to XO under applicable law.
(b)
(c)
Should XO attempt to apply the Terms in a manner that conflicts with paragraphs
5 above, Verizon reserves its rights to seek appropriate legal and/or equitable
relief.
In the event that a voluntary or involuntary petition has been or is in the future
filed against XO under bankruptcy or insolvency-laws, or any law relating to the
relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, debtor reorganization or
composition or extension of debt (any such proceeding, an "Insolvency
Proceeding ), then: (i) all rights of Verizon under such laws, including, without
limitation, all rights of Verizon under 11 U.c. ~ 366, shall be preserved, and
XO's adoption of the Verizon Terms shall in no way impair such rights of
Verizon; and (ii) all rights of XO resulting from XO's adoption of the Verizon
terms shall be subject to and modified by any Stipulations and Orders entered in
the Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, any Stipulation or Order
providing adequate assurance of payment to Verizon pursuant to 11 U.c. ~ 366.

NETWORK ELEMENTS ATTACHMENT
Verizon shall provide to OneEighty, in accordance with this Agreement
(including, but not limited to, Verizon s applicable Tariffs) and the requirements of
Applicable Law, access to Verizon s Network Elements on an unbundled basis
and in combinations (Combinations); provided, however, that notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, Verizon shall be obligated to provide
unbundled Network Elements (UNEs) and Combinations to OneEighty only to the
extent required by Applicable Law and may decline to provide UNEs or
Combinations to OneEighty to the extent that provision of such UNEs or
Combinations is not required by Applicable Law.
Except as otherwise required by Applicable Law: (a) Verizon shall be obligated
to provide a UNE or Combination pursuant to this Agreement only to the extent
such UNE or Combination, and the equipment and facilities necessary to provide
such UNE or Combination, are available in Verizon s network; (b) Verizon shall
have no obligation to construct or deploy new facilities or equipment to offer any
UNE or Combination; and, (c) Verizon shall not be obligated to combine Network
Elements that are not already combined in Verizon s network. Consistent with
the foregoing, should OneEighty engage in a pattern of behavior that suggests
that OneEighty either (i) knowingly induces Verizon Customers to order
Telecommunications Services from Verizon 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 notice to OneEighty that its
actions suggest that OneEighty is engaged in a pattern of bad faith conduct. If
OneEighty fails to respond to this notice in a manner that is satisfactory to
Verizon within fifteen (15) Business Days, then Verizon shall have the right, with
thirty (30) calendar days advance written notice to One Eighty, 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 terms,
conditions and prices for such UNE or Combination (including, but not
limited to, the terms and conditions defining the UNE or Combination
and stating when and where the UNE or Combination will be available
Appendix 1
XO-ID-App1.doc
and how it will be used, and terms, conditions and prices for pre-
ordering, ordering, provisioning, repair, maintenance and billing) shall
be as provided. in an applicableVerizon Tariff, or, in the absence of an
applicable Verizon Tariff, as mutually agreed in writing by the Parties.
1.4.Verizon shall not be obligated to provide to OneEighty, and OneEighty
shall not request from Verizon, access to a proprietary advanced
intelligent network service.
Without limiting Verizon s rights 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 One Eighty, and the Commission, the FCC, a
court or other governmental 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 Verizon in place of such UNE or Combination, then: (a)
Verizon shall reasonably cooperate with OneEighty to coordinate the termination
of such UNE or Combination and the installation of such services to minimize the
interruption of service to Customers of OneEighty; and, (b) OneEighty shall pay
all applicable charges for such services, including, but not limited to, all
applicable installation charges.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute an agreement
by Verizon that any item identified in this Agreement as a Network Element is (i)
a Network Element under Applicable Law, or (ii) a Network Element Verizon is
required by Applicable Law to provide to OneEighty on an unbundled basis or in
combination with other Network Elements.
Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, OneEighty shall access
Verizon s UNEs specifically identified in this Agreement via Collocation in
accordance with the Collocation Attachment at the Verizon Wire Center where
those UNEs exist, and each Loop or Port shall, in the case of Collocation, be
delivered to OneEighty s Collocation node by means of a Cross Connection.
If as the result of OneEighty Customer actions (Le., Customer Not Ready
CNR")), Verizon cannot complete requested work activity when a technician
has been dispatched to the OneEighty Customer premises, OneEighty will be
assessed a non-recurring charge associated with this visit. This charge will be
the sum of the applicable Service Order charge as provided in the Pricing
Attachment and the Premises Visit Charge as provided in Verizon s applicable
retail or wholesale Tariff.
Verizon s Provision of Network Elements
Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 , in accordance with , but only to the extent

extension electronics;
12.7 a 2W SDSL Loop with an option to remove bridged tap; and
12.8 a 2W IDSL Loop of less than 18k ft. with an option to remove bridged
tap;
Verizon shall make Digital Designed Loops available to OneEighty at the rates as
set forth in the Pricing Attachment.
The following ordering procedures shall apply to the xDSL Loops and Digital
Designed Loops:
14.1 OneEighty shall place orders for xDSL Loops and Digital Designed
Loops 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 in accordance with industry format and
specifications or such format and specifications as may be agreed to
by the Parties.
14.2 Verizon is conducting a mechanized survey of existing Loop facilities, on
a 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 results of this survey will be stored in a mechanized database and
Appendix 1
XO-ID-App1.doc
mape available to OneEighty as the process is completed in each
Central Office. OneEighty must utilize 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 listed in the 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 BRIISDN Loop. 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 mechanized loop qualification database or manual loop
qualification indicates that a Loop does not qualify (e.g., because it
does not meet the applicable technical parameters set forth in the Loop
descriptions above), OneEighty may request an Engineering Query, as
described in Section 3.14.6, to determine whether the result is due to
characteristics of the loop itself (e.g., specific number and location
bridged taps, the specific number of load coils, or the gauge of the
cable).
14.5 If OneEighty submits a service order for an ADSL, HDSL, SDSL, I DSL,
or BRI ISDN Loop that has not been prequalified, Verizon will query
the service order back to OneEighty for qualification and will not accept
such service order until the Loop has been prequalified on a
mechanized or manual basis. If OneEighty submits a service order for
an ADSL, HDSL, SDSL, IDSL, or BRIISDN Loop that is, in fact, riot
compatible with such services in its existing condition, Verizon will
respond back to OneEighty with a "Nonqualified" indicator and with
information 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 OneEighty has followed the prequalification procedure described
above and has determined that a Loop is not compatible with ADSL
HDSL, SDSL, IDSL, or BRIISDN service in its existing condition, it
may either request an Engineering Query to determine whether
conditibning may make the Loop compatible with the applicable
service; or if OneEighty is already aware of the conditioning required
(e.g., where OneEighty has previously requested a qualification and
has obtained loop characteristics), OneEighty may submit a service
order for a Digital Designed Loop. Verizon will undertake to condition
or extend the Loop in accordance with this Section 3.14 upon receipt
OneEighty 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
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 involved in conditioning and/or extending the loop as follows:
Appendix 1
XO-ID-App1.doc
15.1 Thre~ (3) Business Days will be required following receipt of OneEighty
valid, accurate and pre-qualified service order for a Digital Designed
Loop to analyze the loop 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 installation 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 construction work, OneEighty shall compensate Verizon for
an Engineering Work Order charge as set forth in the Pricing Attachment. If
OneEighty cancels the request for conditioning after the 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 performed 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
Verizon Customers who 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
process OneEighty's order as a new installation subject to
applicable standard provisioning intervals.
OneEighty shall request Analog 2W Loops for coordinated
cutover from Verizon by delivering to Verizon a valid
electronic Local Service Request ("LSR"). Verizon agrees
to accept from 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 of the 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
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 of

such 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 of its 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.
17.1 .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 shall be subject to the following:
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 uponrequest from OneEighty; and
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.
17.
17.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 of the Scheduled

17.The standard time interval expected from disconnection of a
live Telephone Exchange Service to the connection of the
Analog 2W Loops to OneEighty is fifteen (15) minutes per
Analog 2W Loop for all orders consisting of twenty (20)
Analog 2W Loops or less. Orders involving more than
twenty (20) Loops will require a negotiated interval.
Appendix 1
17.Conversions involving LNP will be completed according to
North American Numbering Council ("NANC") standards,
via the regional Number Portability Administration Center

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 One Eighty access to its Loops at each of Verizon s Wire
Centers 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, at no additional 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). OneEighty
may also make a Network Element Bona Fide Request pursuant to Section 14.
for access to Unbundled Local Loops at the 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
XO-ID-App1.doc
Line Sharing" is an arrangement by which Verizon facilitates OneEighty'
provision of ADSL (in accordance with T 1 .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 One Eighty, solely for OneEighty's own
use, 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
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
providing simultaneous circuit-switched analog voice grade service to the
Customer served by the Loop in question; (iii) the Verizon Customer s dial tone
must originate from a Verizon End Office Switch in the Wire Center where the
Appendix 1
XO-ID-App1.doc
Line Sharing arrangement is being requested; and (iv) the xDSL technology to be
deployed by OneEighty on that Loop must not significantly degrade the
performance of other services provided on that Loop.
Verizon shall make Line Sharing available 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 Attachment for Line Sharing itself, the following
rates shown in the Pricing Attachment and in Verizon s applicable Tariffs are
among those that may apply to a Line Sharing arrangement: (i) prequalification
charges to determine whether a Loop is xDSL compatible (Le., compatible with
an xDSL service that is presumed to be acceptable for shared-line deployment in
accordance with FCC rules); (ii) engineering query charges, engineering work
order charges, or Loop conditioning (Digital Designed Loop) charges; (iii)
charges associated with Collocation activities requested by OneEighty; and (iv)
misdirected dispatch charges, charges for installation or repair, manual
intervention surcharges, trouble isolation charges, and pair swap/line and station
transfer charges.
4.4 The following ordering procedures shall apply to Line Sharing:
4.4.1 To determine whether a Loop qualifies for Line Sharing, the Loop must
first be prequalified to determine if it is xDSL compatible. OneEighty
must utilize the Loop qualification processes described in the terms
applicable to xDSL and Digital Designed Loops to make this
determination.
4.4.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 in
accordance with industry format and specifications or such format and
specifications as may be agreed to by the Parties.
4.4.If the Loop is prequalified by OneEighty through the Loop prequalification
database, and if a positive response is received and followed by
receipt of OneEighty 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 qualification 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 following 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 other
unforeseen events.
4.4.5 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 this
Agreement pertaining to Digital Designed Loops; or if this Agreement
does not contain provisions pertaining to Digital Designed Loops, then
in accordance with Verizon s generally available rates, terms and
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
Appendix 1
XO-ID-App1.doc
conditioning is likely to degrade significantly the voice-grade service
being provided to Verizon s Custo~ers 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.
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 of the following intervals:
(a) six (6) Business Days; (b) the standard provisioning interval for the
Line Sharing arrangement that is stated in an applicable 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 interval offered 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/NCI 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, must be 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-alone unbundled 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,
One Eighty 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 (PSD) 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-
1998 and within the transmit PSD limits of T1.601-1998 for frequencies above 4
kHz, provided that the MVL PSD associated with audible frequencies above 4
kHz shall be sufficiently attenuated to preclude significantly degrading voice
Appendix 1
XO-ID-App1,doc
services. OneEighty's deployment of additional Advanced Services shall be
subject to the applicable FCC Rules.
OneEighty may only access the high frequency portion of a Loop in a Line
Sharing 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 that
Wire Center that complies with ANSI specification T1.413, employs Direct
Current (DC) blocking capacitors or equivalent technology to assist in isolating
high banqwidth trouble resolution and maintenance to the high frequency portion
of the frequency spectrum, and operates so that the analog voice "dial tone
stays 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 must
be 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 application 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 OneEighty-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-provided
splitter (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 network,
the 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
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
Appendix 1
XO-ID-App1.doc
point is at th~ 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 Verizo.n-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 configuration. Verizon will provide a splitter 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 fees) apply. One Eighty 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.g., 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. Associated 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 shall be available to OneEighty.
1.1 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 equipment or 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 in OneEighty's Collocaton area
between the "line" port of the splitter and the POT Bay in
order to conduct remote physical tests of the shared Loop.
Under Splitter Option C, upon request by OneEighty, either
Verizon or, at One Eighty s election, a Verizon-approved
vendor selected by OneEighty will install a OneEighty-
provided test head to enable One Eighty to conduct remote
Appendix 1
XO-ID-App1.doc
physical tests of the shared Loop. This optional OneEighty-
provided test head will be installed at a point between the
line" port of the 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
will inventory, control and maintain the OneEighty-provided
test head, and 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.
Under either Splitter Option , upon request by OneEighty,
Verizon will make ML T access available to OneEighty via
AETAS 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
Bay for interconnection of OneEighty s Collocation arrangement with
Verizon s network, OneEighty will 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.com/wise
1.4
3 The Parties will continue to work cooperatively on testing procedures.
To this end, in situations where OneEighty has attempted to use one or
more of the foregoing testing options 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 OneEighty above. The Parties will mutually agree upon
the specific procedures for conducting joint meet tests.
8.4 Verizon and OneEighty each have a responsibility to educate the
Customer 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 at
the Customer premise and the point of demarcation in the Central
Office. OneEighty will be responsible for repairing services it offers
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
Appendix 1
initiates any activity on a shared Loop tAat 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 shall 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:
6.4
XO-ID-App1.doc
Notify OneEighty and request that OneEighty 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 4.2, above,
Verizon may temporarily remove the OneEighty-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.
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 of the 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
Appendix 1
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 Docket Nos. 98-147 , 96-98), released January 19, 2001. Any Line Splitting
between two CLECs shall be accomplished by prior negotiated arrangement between
those 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 combined with 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 configuration. CLECs seeking to migrate existing UNE
platform configurations to a Line Splitting configuration using the same Network Elements
utilized in the pre-existing platform arrangement, or seeking to 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 PSG Case 00-0127, allowing for local jurisdictional and ass
differences.
Sub-Loop
Sub-Loop - Distribution (USLA)
Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 and upon request by OneEighty,
Verizon shall provide OneEighty with access to a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility
(as such term is hereinafter defined) in accordance with, and subject to, the
terms and provisions of this Section 6, the rates set forth in the Pricing
Attachment, and the rates, terms and conditions set forth in Verizon s applicable
Tariffs. A "Distribution Sub-Loop" means a two-wire or four-wire metallic
distribution facility in Verizon s network between a Verizon feeder distribution
interface (an FDI) and the rate demarcation point for such facility (or network
interface device (NID) if the NID is located at such rate demarcation point).
Verizon shall provide OneEighty with access to a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility in
accordance with, but only to the extent required by, Applicable Law.
OneEighty may request that Verizon reactivate (if available) an unused
drop and NID or provide OneEighty with access to a drop and NID that,
at the time of OneEighty s request, Verizon is using to provide service
to the Customer (as such term is hereinafter defined.
OneEighty may obtain access to a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility only at
an FDI and only from a Telecommunications outside plant
interconnection cabinet (TOPIC) or, if OneEighty is collocated at a
remote terminal equipment enclosure and the FDI for such Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility is located in such enclosure, from the collocation
arrangement of OneEighty at such terminal. To obtain access to a
Sub-Loop Distribution Facility, OneEighty shall install a TOPIC on an
easement or Right of Way obtained by OneEighty within 100 feet of the
Verizon FDI to which such Distribution Sub-Loop is connected. A
TOPIC must comply with applicable industry standards. Subject to the
XO-ID-App1.doc
Appendix 1
XO-ID-App1.doc
terms of applicable Verizon easements, Verizon shall furnish and place
an -interconnecting cable between a Verizon FDI and a OneEighty
TOPIC and Verizon shall install a termination block within such TOPIC.
Verizon shall retain title to and maintain the interconnecting cable.
Verizon shall not be responsible for building, maintaining or servicing
the TOPIC and shall not provide any power that might be required by
OneEighty for any electronics in the TOPIC. OneEighty shall provide
any easement, Right of Way or trenching or supporting structure
required for any portion of an interconnecting cable that runs beyond a
Verizon easement.
OneEighty may request from Verizon by submitting a loop make-up
engineering query to Verizon, and Verizon shall provide to OneEighty,
the following information regarding a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility that
serves an identified Customer: the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility
length and gauge; whether Sub-Loop Distribution Facility has loading
and bridged tap; the amount of bridged tap (if any) on the Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility; and, the location of the FDI to which the Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility is connected.
1.4 To order access to a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility, OneEighty must first
request that Verizon connect the Verizon FDI to which the Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility is connected to a OneEighty TOPIC. To make
such a request, OneEighty must submit to Verizon an application (a
Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Interconnection Application ) that
identifies the FDI at which OneEighty wishes to access the Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility. A Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Interconnection
Application shall state the location of the TOPIC, the size of the
interconnecting cable and a description of the cable s supporting
structure. A Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Interconnection Application
shall also include a five-year forecast of OneEighty's demand for
access to Sub-Loop Distribution Facilities at the requested FDI.
OneEighty must submit the application fee set forth in the Pricing
Attachment attached hereto and Verizon s applicable Tariffs (a "Sub-
Loop Distribution Facility Application Fee ) with Sub-Loop Distribution
Facility Interconnection Application. OneEighty must submit Sub-Loop
Interconnection Applications to:
OneEighty s Account Manager
Within sixty (60) days after it receives a complete Sub-Loop Distribution
Facility Interconnection Application for access to a Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility and the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Application
Fee for such application, Verizon shall provide to OneEighty a work
order that describes the work that Verizon must perform to provide
such access (a "Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Work Order ) and a
statement of the cost of such work (a "Sub-Loop Distribution Facility
Interconnection Cost Statement").
OneEighty shall pay to Verizon fifty percent (50%) of the cost set forth in
a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Interconnection Cost Statement within
sixty (60) days of OneEighty's receipt of such statement and the
associated Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Work Order, and Verizon
shall not be obligated to perform any of the work set forth in such order
until Verizon has received such payment. A Sub-Loop Distribution
Facility Interconnection Application shall be deemed to have been
Appendix 1
witbdrawn if OneEighty breaches its payment obligation under this
Section. Upon Verizon s completion of the work that Verizon must
perform to provide OneEighty with access to a Distribution Sub-Loop,
Verizon shall bill OneEighty, and OneEighty shall pay to Verizon, the
balance of the cost set forth in the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility
Interconnection Cost Statement for such access.
After Verizon has completed the installation of the interconnecting cable
to a OneEighty TOPIC and OneEighty has paid the full cost of such
installation , OneEighty can request the connection of Verizon Sub-
Loop Distribution Facilities to the OneEighty TOPIC. At the same time,
OneEighty shall advise Verizon of the services that OneEighty plans to
provide over the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility, request any
conditioning of the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility and assign the pairs
in the interconnecting cable. OneEighty shall run any crosswires within
the TOPIC.
If OneEighty requests that Verizon reactivate an unused drop and NID,
then OneEighty shall provide dial tone (or its DSL equivalent) on the
OneEighty side of the applicable Verizon FDI at least twenty-four (24)
hours before the due date. On the due date, a Verizon technician' will
run the appropriate cross connection to connect the Verizon Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility to the OneEighty dial tone or equivalent from the
TOPIC. If OneEighty requests that Verizon provide OneEighty with
access to a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility that, at the time of
OneEighty s request, Verizon is using to provide service to a
Customer, then, after One Eighty has looped two interconnecting pairs
through the TOPIC and at least twenty four (24) hours before the due
date, a Verizon technician shall crosswire the dial tone from the
Verizon central office through the Verizon side of the TOPIC and back

offered to OneEighty in the condition that it is available in Verizon
network at the time that OneEighty submits its request (Le., "as is ). In
addition, Verizon shall not be required to convert lit fiber to a Dark
Fiber Loop, Dark Fiber Sub-Loop or Dark Fiber IOF for OneEighty'
use.
Spare wavelengths on fiber strands, where Wave Division Multiplexing
(WDM) or Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) equipment is
deployed , are not considered to be Dark Fiber Loops, Dark Fiber Sub-
Loops or Dark Fiber IOF, and, therefore, will not be offered to
OneEighty as Dark Fiber Loops, Dark Fiber Sub-Loops or Dark Fiber
IOF.
10 Fiber that has been assigned to fulfill a Customer order or for
maintenance purposes will not be offered to OneEighty as Dark Fiber
Loops, Dark Fiber Sub-Loops or Dark Fiber IOF.

twelve (12) month period;
14.Verizon reserves and shall not waive, Verizon s right to
claim before the Commission that Verizon should not have
to fulfill a OneEighty order for Dark Fiber Loops, Dark Fiber
Sub-Loops, or Dark Fiber IOF because that request would
strand an unreasonable amount of fiber capacity, disrupt or
degrade service to Customers or carriers other than
OneEighty, or impair Verizon s ability to meet a legal
obligation.
15 OneEighty may not reserve Dark Fiber Loops, Dark Fiber Sub-Loops, or
Dark Fiber IOF.
16 OneEighty shall be solely responsible for: (a) determining whether or not
the transmission characteristics of the Dark Fiber Loop, Dark Fiber

9:8
1 Where an adequate length of Inside Wiring is present and environmental
conditions permit, OneEighty may remove the Inside Wiring from the
Customer s side of the Verizon NID and connect that Inside Wiring to
OneEighty s NID.
2 Where an adequate length of Inside Wiring is not present or
environmental conditions do not permit, OneEighty may enter the
Customer side of the Verizon NID enclosure for the purpose of
removing the Inside Wiring from the terminals of Verizon s NID and
connecting a connectorized or spliced jumper wire from a suitable
punch ouf' hole of such NID enclosure to the Inside Wiring within the
space of the Customer side of the Verizon NID. Such connection shall .
be electrically insulated and shall not make any contact with the
connection points or terminals within the Customer side of the Verizon
NID.
Appendix 1
OneEighty may request Verizon to make other rearrangements to the
Inside Wiring terminations or terminal enclosure on a time and
materials cost basis to be charged to the requesting party (Le.

The Parties will follow all OaF-adopted standards pertaining to CIC/OZZ codes.
Where CCS Signaling is not available, in-band multi-frequency ("MF") wink start
signaling will be provided. Any such MF arrangement will require a separate
local trunk circuit between the Parties' respective switches in those instances
where the Parties have established End Office to End Office high usage trunk
groups. In such an arrangement, each Party will out pulse the full ten-digit
telephone number of the called Party to the other Party.
The Parties acknowledge that there is a network security risk associated with
interconnection with the public Internet Protocol network, including, but not
limited to, the risk that interconnection of OneEighty signaling systems to the
public Internet Protocol network may expose OneEighty and Verizon signaling
systems and information to interference by third parties. OneEighty shall notify
Verizon in writing sixty (60) days in advance of installation of any network
arrangement that may expose signaling systems or information to access
through the public Internet Protocol network. OneEighty shall take commercially
reasonable efforts to protect its signaling systems and Verizon s signaling
systems from interference by unauthorized persons.
Each Party shall provide trunk groups, where available and upon reasonable
request, that are configured utilizing the B8ZS ESF protocol for 64 kbps clear
