Terms of the Agreement5
Interim and permanent solutions comprise the agreement. First, SBC California will deliver an interim solution to support MCI's request for its UNE-P end-user voice mail offering in California.6 MCI will allow a one-week trial period to test or "prove out" the interim solution. Both Parties have agreed to cooperate during the trial period by sharing any necessary information. MCI has agreed not to start submission of live/production Local Service Requests until both parties have accepted the interim solution as "production ready."
Then, SBC California will implement a permanent solution by December 15, 2003. The permanent solution will replace the interim solution by using an Operations Support Systems upgrade that will continue to allow MCI to provide MWI, using SBC California's LATA-Wide MWI Links to MCI's local UNE-P
customers who use its voice mail service. SBC California will make the permanent solution available for use by MCI by January 5, 2004.
