B, will apply. If other modifications are requested, in addition to the placement of<br />
a Direct Connect, either an Initial Application Fee or a Subsequent Application Fee<br />
will apply, pursuant to Section 6.2 below. BellSouth will bill this nonrecurring<br />
charge on the date that BellSouth provides an Application Response to OTI.<br />
3.6 Co-Carrier Cross Connect (CCXC)<br />
3.6.1 A CCXC is a cross connection between OTI and another collocated<br />
telecommunications carrier, other than BellSouth, in the same BellSouth Premises.<br />
Where technically feasible, BellSouth will permit OTI to interconnect between its<br />
Collocation Space(s) and the physical/virtual collocation space(s) of another<br />
collocated telecommunications carrier(s) within the same BellSouth Premises via a<br />
CCXC, pursuant to the FCC’s Rules. The other collocated telecommunications<br />
carrier’s agreement must also contain CCXC rates, terms and conditions before<br />
BellSouth will permit the provisioning of a CCXC between the two (2) collocated<br />
carriers. The applicable BellSouth charges will be assessed to OTI upon OTI’s<br />
request for the CCXC. OTI is prohibited from using the Collocation Space for the<br />
sole or primary purpose of cross-connecting to other collocated<br />
telecommunications carriers.<br />
3.6.2 OTI must contract with a BellSouth Certified Supplier to place the CCXC. The<br />
CCXC shall be provisioned using facilities owned by OTI. Such cross-connections<br />
to other collocated telecommunications carriers may be made using either electrical<br />
or optical facilities. OTI shall be responsible for providing a LOA, with the<br />
application, to BellSouth from the other collocated telecommunications carrier to<br />
which it will be cross-connecting. The CCXC shall utilize BellSouth common<br />
cable support structure. There will be a recurring charge per linear foot, per cable,<br />
of the common cable support structure used by OTI to provision the CCXC to the<br />
other collocated telecommunications carrier. In those instances where OTI’s<br />
equipment and the equipment of the other collocated telecommunications carrier<br />
are located in contiguous caged Collocation Space, OTI may use its own<br />
technicians to install the CCXC using either electrical or optical facilities between<br />
the equipment of both collocated telecommunications carriers by constructing a<br />
dedicated cable support structure between the two (2) contiguous cages. OTI<br />
shall deploy such electrical or optical cross-connections directly between its own<br />
equipment and the equipment of the other collocated telecommunications carrier<br />
without being routed through BellSouth’s equipment or, in the case of a CCXC<br />
provisioned between contiguous collocation spaces, common cable support<br />
structure. OTI shall not provision CCXC on any BellSouth distribution frame,<br />
POT Bay, DSX panel or LGX panel. OTI is solely responsible for ensuring the<br />
integrity of the signal.<br />
3.6.3 To place an order for a CCXC, OTI must submit an application to BellSouth. If<br />
no modification to the Collocation Space is requested other than the placement of<br />
a CCXC, the Co-Carrier Cross Connect/Direct Connect Application Fee for a<br />
