Meet fiber optic terminals are available. The rate charged by one Party to the other Party
for such spare capacity shall be no more than the rates set forth in this Attachment for
Dedicated Transport.
2.3.4 BellSouth shall, wholly at its own expense, procure, install and maintain the agreed upon
SONET equipment in the BellSouth Serving Wire Center ("BSWC").
2.3.5 TC SYTEMS shall, wholly at its own expense, procure, install and maintain the agreed upon
SONET equipment in the TC SYTEMS Serving Wire Center ("ASWC").
2.3.6 The parties shall mutually agree upon a POI outside of the BSWC as a Fiber Meet point and
shall make all necessary preparations to receive and to allow and enable delivery of fiber
optic facilities into the POI with sufficient spare length to reach the POI. A Common
Language Location Identification ("CLLI") code will be established for each POI. The code
established must be a building type code. All orders shall originate from the POI (i.e., POI
to TC SYTEMS, POI to BellSouth).
2.3.7 The Parties shall deliver and maintain their own strands wholly at their own expense. Upon
verbal request by either Party, the other Party shall allow access to the Fiber Meet entry
point for maintenance purposes as promptly as possible.
2.3.8 The Parties shall jointly coordinate and undertake maintenance of the SONET transmission
system. Each Party shall be responsible for maintaining the components of their own
SONET transmission system.
2.3.9 Each Party will be responsible for (i) providing its own transport facilities to the Fiber Meet,
and (ii) the cost to build-out its facilities to such Fiber Meet. Each Party is responsible for
transporting its originating traffic to the appropriate POI . The originating Party shall
provide or cause to be provided any transport needed to deliver its originating traffic to any
such POI that is not within the same serving wire center as the Mid-Span Fiber Meet
terminal equipment. The Parties will utilize one of the interconnection methods set forth in
this Attachment, as applicable, for any such additional transport.
2.3.10 Neither Party shall charge the other for its portion of the Fiber Meet facility between the
ASWC and the BSWC used exclusively for the other Party’s local traffic (i.e., the Local
Channel). The Parties do not intend to utilize this arrangement for transit traffic.
2.3.11 In establishing a Mid-Span Fiber Meet arrangement and associated interconnection trunking,
or an augment to such an arrangement the Parties agree to work together on routing,
determining the appropriate facility system size (e.g., OC-n) based on the most recent traffic
forecasts, equipment selection, ordering, provisioning, maintenance, repair, testing,
augment, and compensation procedures and arrangements, reasonable distance limitations,
and on any other arrangements necessary to implement the Mid-Span Fiber Meet
arrangement and associated interconnection trunking (“Implementation Provisions”). The
Implementation Provisions shall be agreed to by the Parties in writing at the initial
implementation meeting. If, despite the Parties good faith efforts, the Parties cannot agree
on material terms relating to the Implementation Provisions, the dispute resolution
