processes and policies applicable to existing end user services not being purchased
by TC SYSTEMS for resale, notices of new service offerings, and any changes to
existing service offerings not being purchased by TC SYSTEMS for resale, or
otherwise not requiring an amendment to this Agreement.
3.23 Where BellSouth discontinues a Resale Telecommunications Service, TC
SYSTEMS shall enjoy the same rights (e.g. transition or grandfather period) that
BellSouth’s own retail End Users may be subject to with respect to the service.
3.24 BellSouth and TC SYSTEMS shall provide local and toll dialing parity to each
other with no unreasonable dialing delays. The post-dial delay (time elapsed
between the last digit dialed and the first network response), call completion rate
and transmission quality experienced by an TC SYSTEMS End User is at last
equal in quality to that experienced by a similarly situated BellSouth End User.
Except for the loss of features that may be occasioned by the use of remote call
forwarding or other number portability technologies, the TC SYSTEMS End User
may retain its local telephone number with no loss of features or functionality
according to the provisions in Attachment 5. Dialing parity shall be provided for
all originating telecommunications services that require dialing to route a call.
BellSouth and TC SYSTEMS shall permit similarly situated telephone exchange
service end users to dial the same number of digits to make a local telephone call
notwithstanding the identity of the end user’s or the called party’s
telecommunication service provider.
