Interconnection Agreement Between MFS Intelenet And U S West Communications, Inc.
Pursuant to this Interconnection Agreement MFS INTELENET, INC. of Colorado and U S WEST Communications, Inc., will extend certain arrangements to one another within each LATA in which they both operate within this State. This Agreement is a combination of agreed terms and terms imposed by arbitration under Section 252 of the Communications Act of 1934, as modified by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and as such does not necessarily represent the position of either Party on any given issue. The Parties enter into this Agreement without prejudice to any position they may have taken previously, or may take in the future in any legislative regulatory, or other public forum addressing any matters, including matters related to the types of arrangements prescribed by this Agreement.
This Agreement sets forth the terms, conditions and prices under which USWC agrees to provide (a) services for resale (b) certain Unbundled Network Elements, Ancillary Functions and additional features to MFS or combinations of such Network Elements for MFS's own use or for resale to others. The Agreement also sets forth the terms, conditions and prices under which the parties agree to provide interconnection and reciprocal compensation for the exchange of local traffic between USWC and MFS for purposes of offering telecommunications services.
This is an interconnection agreement, between TCG-Denver, and U S WEST Communications, that is intended to promote independent, facilities-based local exchange competition by encouraging the rapid and efficient interconnection of competing local exchange service networks. The Parties seek to accomplish interconnection in a technically and economically efficient manner in accordance with all requirements of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 including the entire "Competitive Checklist" as set forth in Section 271(c)(2)(B) TCG notified USWC of its request for negotiations with USWC pursuant to Section 252 of TA 1996 on February 8, 1996, and the Parties were unable to negotiate an interconnection agreement. TCG petitioned the Colorado Public Utilities Commission to arbitrate an interconnection agreement between the Parties pursuant to Section 252 of TA 1996.
The Colorado Public Utilities Commission issued Decision No. C96-1186 on November 5, 1996 directing the Parties to prepare an interconnection agreement incorporating in its terms the issues resolved by arbitration.
