January 31, 2000 Re: Interconnection Agreement between Bell Atlantic‑Massachusetts and SBC Telecom, Inc. pursuant to Sections 251 and 252 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996
Dear Secretary Cottrell: In accordance with § 252(e) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "Act"), New England Telephone and Telegraph, d/b/a Bell Atlantic‑Massachusetts ("Bell Atlantic"), is herewith filing an Interconnection Agreement (the "SBCT Agreement") between Bell Atlantic and SBC Telecom, Inc. ("SBCT") governing interconnection arrangements in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The SBCT Agreement is submitted fox Department approval under §§ 252(e)(1) and (e)(2) of the Act. Section 252(e)(4) of the Act provides that, if a state agency does not act to approve or reject an agreement reached by negotiation within 90 days following the filing, it shall be deemed approved. Except as described below, SBCT has elected, pursuant to Section 252(i) of the Act, to adopt the terms and conditions of the Interconnection Agreement between AT&T Communications of New England, Inc. and Bell Atlantic, dated as of April 13, 1998, which the Department previously has approved (the "AT&T Agreement"); as such, the SBCT Agreement is substantially similar to the AT&T Agreement. SBCT also has elected, pursuant to Section 252(i) of the Act, to adopt the terms and conditions for interconnection and certain services and network elements contained in the Interconnection Agreement between MCImetro Access Transmission Services LLC and Bell Atlantic, executed on September 29, 1998, as amended by that certain Amendment Number One to the Interconnection Agreement between Bell Atlantic SBC TELECOM, INC.

and MCImetro Access Transmission Services LLC, executed on August 3, 1999, which agreement the Department previously has approved (the "MCI Agreement"); in so doing, SBCT has adopted (as detailed below) certain provisions of the MCI Agreement in replacement of specific provisions of the AT&T Agreement and, where adopted provisions of the MCI Agreement do not replace any provisions of the AT&T Agreement, SBCT has adopted such provisions of the MCI Agreement as additions to the AT&T Agreement. Furthermore, the SBCT Agreement contains provisions that Bell Atlantic and SBCT have negotiated relating to collocation and number portability, which replace certain provisions in the AT&T Agreement. The SBCT Agreement differs from the AT&T agreement principally in the following respects: (1) MCI Agreement, Attachment III, Section 8 (Directory Assistance Services and Operator Services), except for Section 8.1.5.4 (Directory Assistance Licensing Agreement), which is specifically excluded from the SBCT Agreement, replaces AT&T Agreement, Part I: Telecommunications Services Provided For Resale, Section D (Rerouting and Branding of OSDAS); (2) MCI Agreement, Attachment III, Section 13 (Service Control Points/Data Bases), replaces AT&T Agreement Part II: Unbundled Network Elements and Combinations, Section 2.9.8 ("Service Control Points (SCPs)"/"Databases'; (3) MCI Agreement, Attachment III, Section 16 (Basic 911 and E911), replaces AT&T Agreement, Part I: Telecommunications Services Provided For Resale, Appendix A (Resale Services), Section 7.8 (Enhanced 911 Service Databases); (4) MCI Agreement, Attachment IV (Interconnection) is added as a new section to the SBCT Agreement. (5) Negotiated terms and conditions for Collocation replace AT&T Agreement, Part III: Service Description ‑ Ancillary Functions, Section 2 (Collocation), Exhibit A to Part III, and Appendices A through E, inclusive, to Part III; and (6) Negotiated terms and conditions for Number Portability replace AT&T Agreement, General Terms and Conditions, Section 19 (Number Portability).
