Richard N. Koch

President 

RNK Pennsylvania, Inc.

333 Elm Street, Suite 310

Dedham, MA 02026 


Re:          Requested
Adoption Under Section 252(i) of the Communications Act 


Dear Mr.
Koch: 


Verizon
Pennsylvania Inc. (“Verizon”), a Pennsylvania corporation, with principal place
of business at 1717 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103, has received
correspondence stating that RNK Pennsylvania, Inc. (“RNK”), a Massachusetts
corporation, with principal place of business at 333 Elm Street, Suite 310,
Dedham, MA 02026 wishes, pursuant to Section 252(i) of the Communications Act,
to adopt the terms of the Interconnection Agreement between D&E Systems,
Inc (“D&E”) and Verizon that was approved by the Pennsylvania Public
Utility Commission (the “Commission”) as an effective agreement in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as such agreement exists on the date hereof
(including, without limitation, Amendment 1 thereto) after giving effect to
operation of law (the ‘Terms”). I understand RNK has a copy of the Terms.
Please note the following with respect to RNK’s adoption of the Terms. 


	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 1.

 	
 By RNK’s countersignature on this
 letter, RNK hereby represents and agrees to the following seven points: 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 A.

 	
 RNK adopts (and agrees to be
 bound by) the Terms and, in applying the Terms, agrees that RNK shall be
 substituted in place of D&E Systems, Inc and D&E in the Terms
 wherever appropriate. 

 


1









	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 B.

 	
 For the avoidance of any doubt,
 adoption of the Terms does not include adoption of any provision imposing an
 unbundling obligation on Verizon (i) that no longer applies to Verizon under
 the Report and Order and Order on Remand (FCC 0336) released by the Federal
 Communications Commission (“FCC”) on August 21, 2003 in CC Docket Nos.
 01-338, 96-98, 98-147 (“Triennial Review Order”), or the Order on Remand in
 WC Docket No. 04-313 and CC Docket No. 01-338, released by the FCC on
 February 4, 2005 (the “TRO Remand Order”), or (ii) that is otherwise not
 required by 47 U.S.C. Section 251(c)(3) or by 47 C.F.R. Part 51. Moreover,
 Verizon, on February 26, 2004, filed a petition at the Commission to
 arbitrate amendments to interconnection agreements (including the Terms) with
 respect to the Triennial Review Order (“TRO Arbitration”). If D&E is a
 party to the TRO Arbitration at the time the Commission issues an effective
 order approving an amendment with respect to the Triennial Review Order in
 the TRO Arbitration (an “Approved Amendment”): (i) the terms of such Approved
 Amendment shall be deemed to amend this adoption effective on the effective
 date of such Commission order, (ii) RNK agrees to be bound by the terms of
 such Approved Amendment effective on the effective date of such Commission
 order, and (iii) Verizon and RNK shall execute an amendment to this adoption
 to memorialize that this adoption is amended by the terms of such Approved
 Amendment effective on the effective date of such Commission order; provided,
 however, failure by either party to do so shall not be cited as a basis for
 contesting the effectiveness of the provisions in subsections (i) and (ii)
 above. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 C.

 	
 Notice to RNK and Verizon as may
 be required or permitted under the Terms shall be provided as follows: 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 To RNK Pennsylvania, Inc.:

 D.

 	
 RNK represents and warrants that
 it is a certified provider of local telecommunications service in the
 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and that its adoption of the Terms will cover
 services in Verizon Pennsylvania’s service territory in the Commonwealth of
 Pennsylvania only. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 E.

 	
 In the event an interconnection
 agreement between Verizon and RNK is currently in effect
 in the former Bell Atlantic service territory within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
 (the “Original ICA”), this adoption shall be an amendment and restatement
 of the operating terms and conditions of the Original ICA, and shall replace
 in their entirety the terms of the Original ICA. This adoption is not
 intended to be, nor shall it be construed to create, a novation or accord and
 satisfaction with respect to the Original ICA. Any outstanding payment
 obligations of the parties that were incurred but not fully performed under
 the Original ICA shall constitute payment obligations of the parties under
 this adoption. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 F.

 	
 Verizon’s standard pricing
 schedule for interconnection agreements in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
 (as such schedule may be amended from time to time) (attached as Appendix A
 hereto) shall apply to RNK’s adoption of the Terms. RNK should note that the
 aforementioned pricing schedule may contain rates for certain services the
 terms for which are not included in the Terms or that are otherwise not part
 of this adoption, and may include phrases or wording not identical to those
 utilized in the Terms. In an effort to expedite the adoption process, Verizon
 has not deleted such rates from the pricing schedule or attempted to
 customize the wording in the pricing schedule to match the Terms. However,
 the inclusion of such rates in no way obligates Verizon to provide the
 subject services and in no way waives Verizon’s rights, and the use of
 different wording or phrasing in the pricing schedule does not alter the
 obligations and rights set forth in the Terms. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 G.

 	
 RNK’s adoption of the Terms shall
 become effective on April 20, 2007. Verizon shall file this adoption letter
 with the Commission promptly upon receipt of an original of this letter
 countersigned by RNK as to the points set out in Paragraph One hereof. The term
 and termination provisions of the Terms shall govern RNK’s adoption of the
 Terms. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 2.

 	
 As the Terms are being adopted by
 RNK pursuant to Section 252(i) of the Act, Verizon does not provide the Terms
 to you as either a voluntary or negotiated agreement. The filing and
 performance by Verizon of the Terms does not in any way constitute a waiver
 by Verizon of any position as to the Terms or a portion thereof, nor does it
 constitute a waiver by Verizon of all rights and remedies it may have to seek
 review of the Terms, or to seek review in any way of any provisions included
 in the Terms as a result of RNK’s adoption of the Terms. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 3.

 	
 Nothing herein shall be construed
 as or is intended to be a concession or admission by Verizon that any
 provision in the Terms complies with the rights and duties imposed by the
 Act, the decisions of the FCC and the Commission, the decisions of the
 courts, or other law, and Verizon expressly reserves its full right to assert
 and pursue claims arising from or related to the Terms. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 4.

 	
 Verizon reserves the right to
 deny RNK’s application of the Terms, in whole or in part, at any time: 

 


3









	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 A.

 	
 when the costs of providing the
 Terms to RNK are greater than the costs of providing them to D&E; 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 B.

 	
 if the provision of the Terms to
 RNK is not technically feasible; and/or 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 C.

 	
 to the extent that Verizon
 otherwise is not required to make the Terms available to RNK under applicable
 law. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 5.

 	
 For the avoidance of any doubt,
 please note that adoption of the Terms will not result in reciprocal
 compensation payments for Internet traffic. Verizon has always taken the
 position that reciprocal compensation was not due to be paid for Internet
 traffic under section 251(b)(5) of the Act. Verizon’s position that
 reciprocal compensation is not to be paid for Internet traffic was confirmed
 by the FCC in the Order on Remand and Report and Order adopted on April 18,
 2001 (“FCC Internet Order”), which
 held that Internet traffic constitutes “information access” outside the scope
 of the reciprocal compensation obligations set forth in section 251(b)(5) of
 the Act.1 Accordingly, any compensation to be paid for Internet
 traffic will be handled pursuant to the terms of the FCC Internet Order, not pursuant to
 adoption of the Terms.2 Moreover, in light of the FCC Internet Order, even if the Terms
 include provisions invoking an intercarrier compensation mechanism for
 Internet traffic, any reasonable amount of time permitted for adopting such
 provisions has expired under the FCC’s rules implementing section 252(i) of
 the Act.3 In fact, the FCC
 Internet Order made clear that carriers may not adopt provisions
 of an existing interconnection agreement to the extent that such provisions
 provide compensation for Internet traffic.4 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 6.

 	
 Should RNK attempt to apply the
 Terms in a manner that conflicts with Paragraphs Two through
 Paragraphs Five above, Verizon reserves its rights to seek appropriate legal
 and/or equitable relief. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 7.

 	
 In the event that a voluntary or
 involuntary petition has been or is in the future filed against RNK under
 bankruptcy or insolvency laws, or any law relating to the relief of debtors,
 readjustment of indebtedness, debtor reorganization or composition or
 extension of debt (any such proceeding, an “Insolvency Proceeding”), then:
 (A) all rights of Verizon under such laws, including, without limitation, all
 rights of Verizon under 11 U.S.C. § 366, shall be preserved, and RNK’s
 adoption of the Terms shall in no way impair such rights of Verizon; and (B)
 all rights of RNK resulting from RNK’s adoption of the Terms shall be subject
 to and modified by any Stipulations and Orders entered in the Insolvency
 Proceeding, including, without limitation, any Stipulation or Order providing
 adequate assurance of payment to Verizon pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 366.

1        This
Appendix may contain rates for (and/or reference) services, facilities,
arrangements and the like that Verizon does not have an obligation to provide
under the Agreement (e.g., services, facilities, arrangements and the like that
Verizon is not required to provide under Section 251 of the Act).
Notwithstanding any such rates (and/or references) and, for the avoidance of
any doubt, nothing in this Appendix shall be deemed to require Verizon to
provide a service, facility, arrangement or the like that the Agreement does
not require Verizon to provide, or to provide a service, facility, arrangement
or the like upon rates, terms or conditions other than those that may be
required by the Agreement.


          All
rates and charges set forth in this Appendix shall apply until such time as
they are replaced by new rates and/or charges as the Commission or the FCC may
approve or allow to go into effect from time to time, subject however, to any
stay or other order issued by any court of competent jurisdiction. In addition
to any rates and charges set forth herein, Verizon, effective as of March 11,
2005, may, but shall not be required to, charge (and RNK shall pay) any rates
and charges that apply to a CLEC’s embedded base of certain UNEs pursuant to
the FCC’s Order on Remand, Unbundled
Access to Network Elements; Review of the Section 251 Unbundling Obligations of Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers, WC Docket No. 04-313, CC Docket No. 01-338 (FCC rel. Feb. 4, 2005) (the
“TRRO”), the foregoing being without limitation of other rates and charges that
may apply under subsequent FCC orders or otherwise. In addition, as set forth
in Industry Notices, access tariff rates and/or other applicable non-UNE rates
may apply equivalent for certain facilities and arrangements that are no longer
available as unbundled network elements or combinations thereof.  



          Unless a
citation is provided to a generally applicable Verizon tariff, all listed rates
and services are available only to RNK when purchasing these services for use
in the provision of Telephone Exchange Service, and apply only to Reciprocal
Compensation Traffic and local Ancillary Traffic. Verizon rates and services
for use by RNK in the carriage of Toll Traffic shall be subject to Verizon’s
tariffs for Exchange Access Service. Adherence to these limitations is subject
to a reasonable periodic audit by Verizon.

limitation of other rates and charges that may apply under subsequent FCC
