establish connections with little or no delay encountered in the network. Each Party will provide a 24hour<br />

contact number for network traffic management issues to the other's surveillance management<br />

center and a trouble reporting number.<br />

28.3 Each Party maintains the right to implement protective network traffic management controls, such as<br />

"cancel to", "call gapping" or 7-digit and 10-digit code gaps, to selectively cancel the completion of<br />

traffic over its network, including traffic destined for the other Party’s network, when required to protect<br />

the public-switched network from congestion as a result of occurrences such as facility failures, switch<br />

congestion or failure or focused overload. Each Party shall immediately notify the other Party of any<br />

protective control action planned or executed.<br />

28.4 Where the capability exists, originating or terminating traffic reroutes may be implemented by either<br />

Party to temporarily relieve network congestion due to facility failures or abnormal calling patterns.<br />

Reroutes shall not be used to circumvent normal trunk servicing. Expansive controls shall be used only<br />

when mutually agreed to by the Parties.<br />

28.5 The Parties shall cooperate and share pre-planning information regarding cross-network call-ins<br />

expected to generate large or focused temporary increases in call volumes to prevent or mitigate the<br />

impact of these events on the public-switched network, including any disruption or loss of service to the<br />

other Party’s End Users. Facsimile (FAX) numbers must be exchanged by the Parties to facilitate event<br />

notifications for planned mass calling events.<br />

28.6 Neither Party shall use any Interconnection, Network Element, function, facility, product or service<br />

provided under this Agreement or any other service related thereto or used in combination therewith in<br />

any manner that interferes with or impairs service over any facilities of AT&T-13STATE, its affiliated<br />

companies or other connecting Telecommunications Carriers, prevents any Telecommunications<br />

Carrier from using its Telecommunications Service, impairs the quality or the privacy of<br />

Telecommunications Service to other Telecommunications Carriers or to either Party’s End Users,<br />

causes hazards to either Party’s personnel or the public, damage to either Party’s or any connecting<br />

Telecommunications Carrier's facilities or equipment, including any malfunction of ordering or billing<br />

systems or equipment. Upon such occurrence either Party may discontinue or refuse service, but only<br />

for so long as the other Party is violating this provision. Upon any such violation, either Party shall<br />

provide the other Party notice of the violation at the earliest practicable time.<br />

28.7 The Parties shall cooperate to establish separate, dedicated Trunks for the completion of calls to high<br />

volume End Users.<br />

28.8 WSP and AT&T-13STATE will work cooperatively to install and maintain a reliable network. WSP and<br />

AT&T-13STATE will exchange appropriate information (e.g., maintenance contact numbers, network<br />

information, information required to comply with law enforcement and other security agencies of the<br />

government and such other information as the Parties shall mutually agree) to achieve this desired<br />

reliability.<br />

2 8.9 WSP shall acknowledge calls in accordance with the following protocols.<br />

28.9.1 WSP will provide a voice intercept announcement or distinctive tone signals to the calling party<br />

when a call is directed to a number that is not assigned by WSP.<br />

28.9.2 WSP will provide a voice announcement or distinctive tone signals to the calling party when a<br />

call has been received and accepted by WSP's MSC.<br />

28.10 When WSP's MSC is not able to complete calls because of a malfunction in the MSC or other<br />

equipment, WSP will either divert the call to its operator, or provide a recorded announcement to the<br />

calling party advising that the call cannot be completed.<br />

28.11 WSP will provide supervisory tones or voice announcements to the calling party on all calls, consistent<br />

with standard telephone industry practices.
