4.0 INTERCONNECTION PURSUANT TO SECTION 251(c)(2)

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Interconnection of the Parties’ facilities and equipment pursuant to Section 4.0 for the transmission and routing of Telephone Exchange Service traffic and Exchange Access traffic shall be, to the extent possible, established on or before the corresponding “Interconnection Activation Date” shown for the State of Rhode Island on Schedule 4.0. Schedule 4.0 may be revised and supplemented from time to time upon the mutual agreement of the Parties. Interconnection in the LATA shall be accomplished through either: (1) a Fiber-Meet as provided in Section 4.2; (ii) Collocation as provided in Section 12.0; (iii) any other Interconnection method provided by applicable tariff, law, rule or regulation; or (iv) any other Interconnection method to which the Parties may agree.


4.1	Scope

Section 4.0 describes the physical architecture for Interconnection of the Parties’ facilities and equipment for the transmission and routing of Local Traffic and IntraLATA toll traffic pursuant to Section 251(c)(2) of the Act. Sections 5.0 and 6.0 prescribe the specific logical trunk groups (and traffic routing parameters) which will be configured over the physical connections described in this Section (4.0) related to the transmission and routing of Telephone Exchange Service traffic and Exchange Access traffic, respectively. Other trunk groups, as described in this Agreement, may be configured using this architecture.


4.2	Physical Architecture

Cox and BA-RI shall configure a joint network configuration and Grooming Process (“Joint Grooming Process” as defined in Section 8.1). Both Parties will endeavor to provide a diverse reliable network that incorporates the most practicable technologies.

4.2.1 Network architecture under the Joint Grooming Process shall be established under the following minimum criteria:


		(a)	The Parties shall establish physical interconnection points at the locations designated on Schedule 4.0. Points on the Cox network from which Cox will provide transport and termination of traffic are designated as the Cox Interconnection Points (Cox-IP). Points on the BA-RI network from which BA-RI will provide transport and termination of traffic are designated as the BA - RI Interconnection Points (BA-IP). Additional interconnection points may be established by mutual agreement of both parties at any technically feasible points consistent with Act.


		(b)	Each Party will provide owned or leased facilities to deliver traffic originated on its respective networks to the designated interconnection points of the other Party’s network. The Party terminating the traffic will be responsible for providing all of the transport and termination of calls beyond the designated interconnection point.

4.2.2 The Parties may interconnect their networks as provided in the Joint Grooming Process, unless an alternative plan is mutually agreed to by both parties.


4.3	Technical Specifications

4.3.1 Cox and BA-RI shall work cooperatively to install and maintain a reliable network. Cox and BA-RI shall exchange appropriate information (i.e., maintenance contact numbers, network information, information required to comply with law enforcement and other security agencies of the Government and such other information as the Parties shall mutually agree) to achieve this desired reliability.

4.3.2 Cox and BA-RI shall work cooperatively to apply sound network management principles by invoking network management controls to alleviate or to prevent congestion.

4.3.3 The publication “Bellcore Technical Publication GR-342-CORE; High Capacity Digital Special Access Service, Transmission Parameter Limits and Interface Combinations” describes the practices, procedures, specifications and interfaces generally utilized by BA-RI and is referenced herein to assist the Parties in meeting their respective interconnection responsibilities related to electrical/optical interfaces.

5.0 TRANSMISSION AND ROUTING OF TELEPHONE
EXCHANGE SERVICE TRAFFIC PURSUANT TO SECTION 251(c)(2)


5.1	Scope of Traffic

Section 5.0 prescribes parameters for trunk groups (the Traffic Exchange Trunks) to be effected over the Interconnections specified in Section 4.0 for the transmission and routing of Local Traffic and IntraLATA Toll Traffic between the Parties’ respective Telephone Exchange Service Customers and where such traffic is not presubscribed for carriage by a third party carrier nor carried by a third party carrier as casual dialed (10XXX and 101)00CX) traffic.

5.2 Switching System Hierarchy

5.2.1 For purposes of this Section (5.0), each of the following Central Office Switches shall be designated as a “Primary Switch”:


		(a)	each Access Tandem BA-RI operates in the LATA;

		(b)	the initial switch Cox employs to provide Telephone Exchange Service in the LATA;

		(c)	any Access or other Tandem Cox may establish for provision of Exchange Access in the LATA;

		(d)	any additional switch or virtual switch Cox may subsequently employ to provide Telephone Exchange Service in the LATA which Cox may at its sole option designate as a Primary Switch; provided that the total number of Cox Primary Switches for a LATA may not, without mutual agreement, exceed the total number of BA-RI Primary Switches for that LATA. To the extent Cox chooses to designate any additional switch as a Primary Switch, it shall provide notice to BA-RI of such designation at least ninety (90) days in advance of the date on which Cox activates such switch as a Primary Switch;

		(e)	any additional Access Tandem switch BA-RI may subsequently employ within a LATA. Traffic destined to subtending Secondary Switches routed via such a tandem(s) would be determined by network requirements and notice made available to Cox and all LECs at least one hundred-eighty (180) days prior to service introduction.

5.2.2 Each Central Office Switch operated by the Parties which is not designated as a Primary Switch pursuant to Section 5.2.1 shall be designated as a “Secondary Switch”.

5.2.3 For purposes of Cox routing traffic to BA-RI, sub-tending arrangements between BA-RI Primary Switches and BA-RI Secondary Switches shall be the same as the Access Tandem/End Office sub-tending arrangements which BA-RI maintains for those switches. For purposes of BA-RI routing traffic to Cox, subtending arrangements between Coxfls Primary Switches and Coxfls Secondary Switches shall be the same as the Access Tandem/End Office subtending arrangements which Cox maintains for those switches.

5.3 Trunk Group Architecture and Traffic Routing

The Parties shall jointly engineer and configure Traffic Exchange Trunks over the physical Interconnection arrangements for the transport and termination of Telephone Exchange Service Traffic, as follows:

5.3.1 The Parties shall initially configure a separate two-way trunk group that will operate as one-way or two-way as mutually agreed to by both Parties,

as a direct transmission path between each Cox Primary Switch and each BA-RI Primary Switch.

5.3.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.0, if the two-way traffic volumes between any two Central Office Switches (whether Primary-Primary, Primary-Secondary or Secondary-Secondary) at any time exceeds the capacity of the installed trunks for the CCS busy hour equivalent of one DS1, the Parties shall within sixty (60) days after such occurrence add trunks or establish new direct trunk groups consistent with the grades of service and quality parameters set forth in the Joint Grooming Process.

5.3.3 BA-RI and Cox will allow each other to route their intrastate and interstate switched access service traffic over the Traffic Exchange Trunk Groups pursuant to the rates, terms and conditions specified in each Party’s effective intrastate and interstate access tariffs or at generally available and prevailing rates, terms and conditions.

5.3.4 Usage sensitive one-way trunks may be used to deliver local, intra, and interLATA interexchange cellular or other wireless traffic. If Cox terminates intra/interLATA, interexchange and cellular or other wireless traffic using the same trunk groups as it uses for terminating local traffic, Cox must provide usage percentages of the local traffic on the combined use trunk group and, where available, the calling party number (CPN) through SS7 signaling for all traffic terminated on the combined use trunk group or usage records necessary to confirm the usage percentages when requested by BA-RI.

5.3.5 Upon CoxOs request, BA-RI will offer a flat rated interconnection trunk. The flat-rated interconnection trunk can only be used to deliver local traffic since measurement capabilities are not available for the other types of traffic (i.e.: toll, cellular and interLATA). The basis for the development of rates for the flat-rated interconnection trunk will be 6000 minutes of use per trunk per month per end office trunk and 7500 minutes of use per trunk per month per tandem trunk. A DS-1 will consist of twenty-four (24) trunks. This flat-rated option will only be offered upon request until the two-way usage sensitive trunks are available.


5.4	Signaling

5.4.1 Where available, CCIS signaling shall be used by the Parties to set up calls between the Parties’ Telephone Exchange Service networks. If CCIS signaling is unavailable, MF (Multi-Frequency) signaling shall be used by the Parties. Each Party shall charge the other Party equal and reciprocal rates for CCIS signaling in accordance with applicable tariffs. During the term of this Agreement neither Party shall charge the other Party additional usage-sensitive rates for SS7 queries (TCAP and ISUP) made for Local Traffic interchanged between the Parties.

5.4.2 The publication “Bellcore Special Report SR-TSV-002275, BOC Notes on the LEC Networks - Signaling” describes the practices, procedures and specifications generally utilized by BA-RI for signaling purposes and is referenced herein to assist the Parties in meeting their respective Interconnection responsibilities related to signaling.

5.4.3 The Parties will cooperate on the exchange of Transactional Capabilities Application Part (TCAP) messages to facilitate interoperability of CCIS-based features between their respective networks, including all CLASS features and functions, to the extent each Party offers such features and functions to its Customers. All CCIS signaling parameters will be provided including, calling party number (CPN), originating line information (OLI), calling party category and charge number.

5.4.4 Upon CoxEls request, each Party shall provide trunk groups, where available, that are configured utilizing the B8ZS ESF protocol for 64 Kbps clear channel transmission to allow for ISDN interoperability between the Parties’ respective networks.


5.5	Grades of Service

The Parties shall initially engineer and shall jointly monitor and enhance all trunk groups consistent with the Joint Grooming Process.


5.6	Measurement and Billing

5.6.1 For billing purposes, each Party shall pass Calling Party Number (CPN) information on each call carried over the Local/intraLATA Trunks; provided that so long as the percentage of calls passed with CPN is greater than ninety percent (90%), all calls exchanged without CPN information shall be billed as either Local Traffic or IntraLATA Toll Traffic in direct proportion to the minutes of use of calls exchanged with CPN information.

5.6.2 Measurement of billing minutes (except for originating 800/888 calls) shall be in actual conversation seconds. Measurement of billing minutes for originating 800/888 calls shall be in accordance with applicable tariffs.

5.6.3 Where CPN is not available in a LATA for greater than ten percent (10%) of the traffic, the Party sending the traffic shall provide factors to determine the jurisdiction, as well as local vs. toll distinction, of the traffic. Such factors shall be supported by call record details that will be made available for review upon request. Where Parties are passing CPN but the receiving Party is not properly receiving or recording the information, the Parties shall cooperatively work to correctly identify the traffic, and establish a mutually agreeable mechanism that will prevent improperly rated traffic. Notwithstanding this, if any improperly rated traffic occurs, the Parties agree to reconcile it.

5.7 Reciprocal Compensation Arrangements -- Section 251(b)(5)

5.7.1 Reciprocal Compensation only applies to the transport and termination of Local Traffic billable by BA-RI or Cox which a Telephone Exchange Service Customer originates on BA-RI’s or CoxEls network for termination on the other Party’s network except as provided in Section 5.7.6 below.

5.7.2 The Parties shall compensate each other for transport and termination of Local Traffic in an equal and symmetrical manner at the rate provided in the Pricing Schedule. This rate is to be applied at the Cox-Interconnection Point for traffic delivered by BA-RI, and at the BA-RI-Interconnection Point for traffic delivered by Cox. No additional charges, including port or transport charges, shall apply for the termination of Local Traffic delivered to the Cox-Interconnection Point or the BA-RI-Interconnection Point unless that Interconnection Point is at a tandem. When Local Traffic is terminated over the same trunks as intraLATA or interLATA toll, any port or transport or other applicable access charges related to the toll traffic shall be prorated to be applied only to the toll traffic.

5.7.3 The Reciprocal Compensation arrangements set forth in this Agreement are not applicable to Switched Exchange Access Service or to any other IntraLATA calls originated on a third Party carrier’s network on a 1+ presubscribed basis or a casual dialed (10>O<X or 101XXXX) basis. All Switched Exchange Access Service and all IntraLATA Toll Traffic shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable federal and state tariffs.

5.7.4 Each Party shall charge the other Party its effective applicable tariffed IntraLATA switched access rates for the transport and termination of all IntraLATA Toll Traffic.

5.7.5 Local Traffic

5.7.5.1 Cox Will pay BA-RI interim rates of $0.005 per minute for local traffic delivered at the BA-RI Tandem and $0.003 per minute for local traffic delivered at an end office. BA-RI will pay Cox $0.005 per minute for local traffic delivered to Coxps switching facility in West Warwick except as provided in paragraph 5.7.5.2 below. When the RI PUC approves permanent rates, the permanent rates for tandem and end office termination will supersede the interim rates, without a retroactive true-up.

5.7.5.2 By mutual agreement or, absent agreement, in accordance with objective criteria to be established in advance, BA-RI may designate one or more Cox NXXfls for “Virtual” End Office connection and pay the end office rate ($0.003) instead of the tandem rate for all traffic delivered to those NXXs. Where Cox has made actual end office connection possible, BA-RI must directly connect in order to get the end office rate. The tacit understanding is that BA-RI

will take advantage of this option whenever, but only where, BA-RI reasonably believes that an internet provider is being served from a particular WOK, and the objective criteria will be developed with that end in mind. Where Internet traffic is not involved, the default rate of $0.005 will apply.

5.7.5.3 If the FCC subsequently determines that Internet traffic is subject to reciprocal compensation, (i.e., that Internet traffic is Local Traffic) no change will be required in the Cox/BA-RI arrangement. If the FCC determines that Internet traffic is not subject to reciprocal compensation, (i.e., that Internet traffic is not Local Traffic) then the parties will be compensated as determined by the FCC.

5.7.6 Compensation for transport and termination of all traffic which has been subject to performance of 1NP by one Party for the other Party pursuant to Section 13.0 shall be as specified in Section 13.6.

5.7.7 When either Party delivers seven (7) or ten (10) digit translated IntraLATA 800/888 service to the other Party for termination, the originating party shall provide the terminating Party with billing records in industry standard format (EMR) if required by the terminating Party. The originating Party may bill the terminating Party for the delivery of the traffic at local reciprocal compensation rates. The terminating Party may not bill the originating Party reciprocal compensation under this Agreement. The Party that is providing the 800/888 service shall pay the database inquiry charge, per the Pricing Schedule to the Party that performed the database inquiry.


5.8	Municipal Calling Service

The Parties shall work cooperatively to facilitate each Party’s public service obligations as required by the PUC to provide its end user Customers with toll free Municipal Calling Service (MCS). Such cooperation shall include the sharing of certain account and toll free municipal (TFM) codes on a daily or other mutually agreeable basis and working with other industry participants to satisfactorily resolve MCS related measurement and billing issues associated with implementation of IntraLATA presubscription.

6.0 TRANSMISSION AND ROUTING OF EXCHANGE ACCESS
TRAFFIC PURSUANT TO SECTION 251(c)(2)


6.1	Scope of Traffic

Section 6.0 prescribes parameters for certain trunk groups (Access Toll Connecting Trunks) to be established over the Interconnections specified in Section 4.0 for the transmission and routing of Exchange Access traffic between CoxEls Telephone Exchange Service Customers and lnterexchange Carriers (1XCs).

6.2 Trunk Group Architecture and Traffic Routing

6:2.1 The Parties shall, at CoxOs request, jointly establish “Access Toll Connecting Trunks” by which they will jointly provide tandem-transported Switched Exchange Access Services to Interexchange Carriers to enable such Interexchange Carriers to originate and terminate traffic from/to CoxOs Customers.

6.2.2 Access Toll Connecting Trunks shall be used solely for the transmission and routing of Exchange Access traffic to allow CoxDs Customers to connect to or be connected to the interexchange trunks of any Interexchange Carrier which is connected to a BA-RI Access Tandem.

6.2.3 The OAccess Toll Connecting TrunksU shall be two-way trunks, and operated as one-way or two-way as mutually agreed to by both Parties. These trunks connect a Switch Cox utilizes to provide Telephone Exchange Service and Switched Exchange Access in a given LATA to an Access Tandem Switch BA-RI utilizes to provide Exchange Access in such LATA.

6.2.4 The Parties shall jointly determine which BA-RI Access Tandem(s) will be sub-tended by each Cox Switch. Cox will consider but not be required to subtend the BA-RI Access Tandem that would have served the same rate center on BA-RI’s network. Alternative configurations will be discussed as part of the Joint Grooming Process.


6.3	Meet-Point Billing Arrangements

6.3.1 Meet-Point Billing arrangements between the Parties for jointly-provided Switched Exchange Access Services on Access Toll Connecting Trunks will be governed by the terms and conditions of a mutually agreeable arrangement, in accordance with Ordering and Billing Forum Guidelines, which the Parties will cooperatively work to develop.

6.3.2 Until and unless changed by the FCC on a going forward basis, Cox shall retain one hundred percent (100%) of the Residual Interconnection Charge in instances in which Cox provides the End Office switching.


	7.0	TRANSPORT AND TERMINATION OF OTHER TYPES OF TRAFFIC

7.1	Information Services Traffic

Bundled Information Provider (IP) Billing Arrangement. This section describes a cooperative billing arrangement to support interconnection to network services for recorded information programs. These are “pay-per-call” audiotext programs in which a vendor contracts with the local exchange carrier to provide recorded announcement information or open discussion programs to the general public. In specific LATA’s in the BA-RI region, BA-RI reserves exchanges 976, 550, 540, 970 and 940 for its Information Services Provider Customers offering the services addressed in the following paragraphs:

Unbundled IP Billing Arrangement. This section describes a cooperative billing arrangement to support interconnection to network services for recorded information programs. These are “pay-per-call” audiotext programs in which a vendor contracts with the local exchange carrier to provide recorded announcement information or open discussion programs to the general public. In specific LATA’s in the BA-RI region, BA-RI reserves exchanges 976, 550, 540, 970 and 940 for its Information Services Provider Customers offering the services addressed in the following paragraphs:

7.1.1 Bundled IP Billing Arrangement


		7.1.1.1	Routing and Provisioning: Each Party shall route Information Service Traffic which originates on its own network to the appropriate information services platform(s) connected to the other Party’s network. Where Cox uses its own network facilities, Cox will establish a direct trunk group to the BA-RI information services tandem switch. This trunk group will be utilized to allow Cox to route Information Service Traffic originated on its network to BA-RI.

			Where BA-RI routing plans permit a combination of POTS and IP traffic on such direct trunk groups, Cox may route a combination of POTS and IP traffic without establishing a separate direct trunk group exclusively for IP data. However, where BA-RI requires direct trunks dedicated to IP traffic, Cox must establish direct, dedicated trunking for its IP traffic. Such determinations will be at the sole discretion of BA-RI, on a par with its established routing requirements in each LATA, and are subject to change.

Where Cox utilizes the BA-RI network through the purchase of unbundled network elements, Information Service Traffic may be routed over BA-RI information service trunks on a shared basis.

7.1.1.2 Information Mass Announcement Services


	a)	For Information Mass Announcement Service, the Party (Originating Party) on whose network the Information Services Traffic originated shall bill and collect such Information Provider charges and remit an amount equal to such charges to the Party (Terminating Party) to whose information platform the Information Service Traffic terminated less the Information Service Billing and Collection fee set forth in the Pricing Schedule. The Terminating Party may bill the Originating Party for such charges. The Originating Party shall pay the Terminating party in full regardless of uncollectible items. This shall apply whether the Originating Party uses its own network or utilizes the other Party’s network through the purchase of unbundled network elements.

	b)	Upon request, the Party (Originating Party) on whose network the Information Service Traffic originated shall provide, via electronic file transfer or magnetic tape or other means as available, all recorded call detail information to the Party (Terminating Party) to whose information platform the Information Service Traffic terminated, at the standard price for record transmission.

	b)	The Terminating Party shall provide to the Originating Party, via electronic file transfer or magnetic tape or other means


		as available, all necessary information to bill the Information Service Traffic to the Originating Party’s Customers pursuant to the Terminating Party’s agreements with each Information Provider, at the standard price for record transmission. Information shall be provided in as timely a fashion as practical in order to facilitate record review and reflect actual prices set by the individual Information Providers. This data will consist of the EMR records previously delivered by the Originating Party, returned to the Originating Party in rated format where possible, or with appropriate indicators populated on error messages. No Billing and Collection fees will be applied to error messages. No taxes will be calculated or paid on the Originating Party’s traffic.

	c)	The Originating Party shall bill and collect such Information Provider charges and remit the amounts collected to the Terminating Party less:


	(1)	the Information Services Billing and Collection fees set forth on the Pricing Schedule; and

	(2)	customer adjustments provided by the Originating Party. Adjustments are made for subscriber-priced traffic only.


	d)	The Terminating Party shall calculate these charges and bill them to the Originating Party for remittance.

	e)	The Originating Party shall provide to the Terminating Party sufficient information regarding uncollectibles and Customer adjustments. The Terminating Party shall pass through the adjustments to the Information Provider. However, if the Information Provider disputes such adjustments and refuses to accept such adjustments, the Originating Party shall reimburse the Terminating Party for all such disputed adjustments. Final resolution regarding all disputed adjustments shall be solely between the Originating Party and the Information Provider.


		7.1.1.4 Blocking

		Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict either Party from offering to its Exchange Service Customers the ability to block the completion of Information Service Traffic, whether Information Mass Announcement Services or Variable Rated Information Services.

		7.1.1.5 Billing and Usage Specifications

		The Parties shall adopt an information Provider Usage and Billing Specification Agreement prior to implementation of this billing arrangement. With the mutual consent of both Parties, the Information Provider Usage and Billing Specification Agreement may be modified in the future.

	a)	For Information Mass Announcement Service, the Party (Originating Party) on whose network the Information Services Traffic originated shall bill and collect such Information Provider charges and remit an amount equal to such charges to the Party (Terminating Party) to whose


		information platform the information Service Traffic terminated less the Information Service Billing and Collection fee set forth in the Pricing Schedule. The Terminating Party may bill the Originating Party for such charges. The Originating Party shall pay the Terminating Party in full regardless of uncollectible items. This shall apply whether the Originating Party uses its own network or utilizes the other party’s network through the purchase of unbundled network elements.

	b)	Upon request, the Party (Originating Party) on whose network the Information Service Traffic originated shall provide, via electronic file transfer or magnetic tape or other means as available, all recorded call detail information to the Party (Terminating Party) to whose information platform the Information Service Traffic terminated, at the standard price for record transmission. This data shall be in unrated EMR format per OBF/Bellcore standard.

	7.1.2.3 Variable Rated Information Services

	a)	The Terminating Party shall charge the Originating Party $0.03 per minute of use for transport and switching. These charges shall be calculated by the Terminating Company and billed to the Originating Company. These charges shall apply whether the Originating Party uses its own network or utilizes the other Party’s network through the purchase of unbundled network elements. End user Customer adjustments shall not apply to these charges.

	b)	Upon request from the Originating Party, the Terminating Party shall make available its Rating Service at a charge of $0.03 per message plus a $15,000 non-recurring charge. Under Rating Service, the Originating Party shall provide to the Terminating Party via electronic file transfer or magnetic tape or other means as available, recorded call detail information in unrated EMR format per OBF/Bellcore standard; the Terminating Party shall rate such calls placed by the Originating Party’s Customers and terminating to Information Provider services contracted with the Terminating Party, according to the rates established by such Information Providers.
