8.3 The use of Common Language Location Identifier, described in Bellcore documents
BR 795-100-100 and BR 795-400-100 and;
8.4 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 a significant
increase or decrease in trunking demand for the following forecasting period.
8.5 In order for BellSouth to provide as accurate reciprocal trunking forecasts as
possible to TC SYTEMS, TC SYTEMS must timely inform BellSouth of any known
or anticipated events that may affect BellSouth reciprocal trunking requirements. If
TC SYTEMS refuses to provide such information, BellSouth shall provide
reciprocal trunking forecasts based only on existing trunk group growth and
BellSouth’s annual estimated percentage of BellSouth subscriber line growth.
8.6 The Parties agree that trunk forecasts are non-binding and are based on the
information available to each respective Party at the time the forecasts are prepared.
The submitting and development of interconnection trunk forecasts shall not replace
the ordering process for local interconnection trunks. Unforecasted trunk demands,
if any, by one Party will be accommodated by the other Party as soon as practicable
based on facility availability. Each Party shall exercise its best efforts to provide the
quantity of interconnection trunks mutually forecasted. However, the provision of
the forecasted quantity of interconnection trunks is subject to trunk terminations and
facility capacity existing at the time the trunk order is submitted. For a non binding
forecast, agreement between the two Parties on the trunk quantities and the
timeframe of those trunks does not imply any liability to perform if the trunks are not
available for use at the required time.
8.7 With respect to two way trunks, if differences in semi-annual forecasts provided by
either Party vary by more than 96 DS0 two-way trunks for each Local
Interconnection Trunk Group, then the Parties shall meet to reconcile the forecast to
within 96 DS0 trunks.
8.8 For BellSouth-to-TC SYTEMS one-way trunk groups (“BellSouth Trunk Groups)
that are the trunk groups that do not carry overflow traffic (“Final Trunk Groups”),
BellSouth and TC SYTEMS shall monitor traffic on each interconnection BellSouth
Final Trunk Group that is ordered and installed. The Parties agree that the BellSouth
Final Trunk Groups will be utilized at 60 percent (60%) of the time consistent busy
hour utilization level within 90 days of installation. The Parties agree that the
BellSouth Final Trunk Groups will be utilized at eighty percent (80%) of the time
consistent busy hour utilization level within 180 days of installation. Any BellSouth
Final Trunk Group not meeting the minimum thresholds set forth in this Section are
defined as “Under-utilized” trunks. BellSouth may disconnect any Under-utilized
BellSouth Final Trunk Groups pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.1 of this
Attachment 3.
