Introduction
1.1

This Attachment sets forth rates, terms and conditions for Network Elements and
combinations of Network Elements that BellSouth agrees to offer to Budget
Phone in accordance with its obligations under Section 251(c)(3) of the Act.
Additionally, this Attachment sets forth the rates, terms and conditions for other
facilities and services BellSouth makes available to Budget Phone (Other
Services). The rates for each Network Element and combination of Network
Elements and Other Services are set forth in Exhibit A of this Attachment.
Additionally, the provision of a particular Network Element or Other Service may
require Budget Phone to purchase other Network Elements or services. In the
event of a conflict between this Attachment and any other section or provision of
this Agreement, the provisions of this Attachment shall control.
1.2

For purposes of this Agreement, Network Element is defined to mean a facility
or equipment Budget Phone used in the provision of a qualifying service, as
defined by the FCC. Budget Phone may not access a Network Element for the
sole purpose of providing non-qualifying services as defined by the FCC. For
purposes of this Agreement, combinations of Network Elements shall be referred
to as Combinations.
1.3

BellSouth shall, upon request of Budget Phone, and to the extent technically
feasible, provide to Budget Phone access to its Network Elements for the
provision of Budget Phones qualifying services. If no rate is identified in this
Agreement, the rate will be as set forth in the applicable BellSouth tariff or as
negotiated by the Parties upon request by either Party.
1.4

Budget Phone may purchase and use Network Elements and Other Services from
BellSouth in accordance with 47 C.F.R 51.309.
1.5

BellSouth shall comply with the requirements as set forth in the technical
references within this Attachment 2.
1.6

Except to the extent required by the Report and Order on Remand and Further
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (rel. Aug. 21, 2003) (TRO), any Network
Elements that no longer require unbundling on a national level will no longer be
available pursuant to this Agreement.
1.7

Upon request, BellSouth shall convert a wholesale service, or group of wholesale
services, to the equivalent unbundled Network Element (UNE), or combination of
elements that is available to Budget Phone under Section 251(c)(3) of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996. Nonrecurring (NRC) switch-as-is rates for
conversion of Network Elements are contained in Exhibit A of this Attachment.
Conversion of a wholesale service or group of wholesale services shall be
[CCCS Amendment 5 of 418]
CCCS 1199 of 1614 EXHIBIT 1
Attachment 2
Page 4
Version 3Q03: 11/12/2003
considered termination for purposes of any volume and/or term commitments
and/or grandfathered status between Budget Phone and BellSouth. Any change
from a wholesale service to a Network Element that requires a physical
rearrangement of the Network Element will not be considered a conversion for
purposes of this Agreement.
1.8

Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Attachment, for elements
or combinations of elements that are no longer offered pursuant to, or are not in
compliance with, the terms set forth in this Agreement (for example, but not
limited to, local channels or non-compliant EELs), Budget Phone will submit
orders to rearrange or disconnect those arrangements or services within thirty (30)
calendar days of the Effective Date of this Amendment. If orders to rearrange or
disconnect those arrangements or services are not received by the 31
st
day after the
Effective Date of this Amendment, BellSouth may disconnect those arrangements
or services without further notice. Where no re-termination or physical
rearrangement of circuits or service is required, Budget Phone will be charged a
NRC switch-as-is charge for the individual Network Element(s) as set forth in
Exhibit A. For arrangements that require a re-termination or other physical
rearrangement of circuits to comply with the terms of this Agreement, NRC
charges for the applicable Network Element from Exhibit A of this Attachment will
apply. To the extent a Network Element requires re-termination or other physical
rearrangement in order to comply with a tariff or separate agreement, the
applicable rates, terms and conditions of such tariff or separate agreement shall
apply.
1.8.1

Budget Phone may utilize Network Elements and Other Services to provide
services as long as such services are consistent with industry standards and
applicable BellSouth Technical References.
1.8.2

Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Attachment, if a Network
Element is not readily available but can be made available through routine network
modifications, as defined by the FCC, Budget Phone may request BellSouth to
perform such routine network modifications. Each request will be handled as a
project on an individual case basis. BellSouth will provide a price quote for the
request, and upon receipt of payment by Budget Phone, BellSouth shall perform
the routine network modifications.
1.8.3

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, BellSouth will not
commingle or combine Network Elements or combinations of Network Elements
with any service, network element or other offering that it is obligated to make
available only pursuant to Section 271 of the Act.
1.9

Commingling of Services
1.9.1

Commingling means the connecting, attaching, or otherwise linking of a Network
Element, or a Network Element combination, to one or more telecommunications
