Customer or the mobile unit of a Third Party connected to a Cell Site located in another MTA.
1.78 “Paging Traffic” is traffic to WSP’s network that results in the sending of a paging message over a
paging or narrowband PCS frequency licensed to WSP or traffic to AT&T-13STATE’s network that

1.85 “Routing Point” is a location which a LEC has designated on its own network as the homing or routing
point for traffic inbound to Exchange Service provided by the LEC which bears a certain NPA-NXX
designation. The Routing Point is employed to calculate mileage measurements for the distancesensitive

LATA as the NPA-NXX.

origination and termination point of the calls are as follows:
