Interconnection Policy

Peninsula Fiber Network, LLC’s(PFN) proposed middle mile fiber projects will meet and comply with the NTIA NOFO non-discrimination and network interconnection policies.

Non-discrimination – PFN will meet or exceed the requirements set forth by the FCC’s Internet Policy Statement, FCC 05-151, adopted August 5, 2005 regarding non-discrimination and actively encourages broadband deployment and the preservation and promotion of the open and interconnected nature of the public Internet.

Interconnection – PFN’s middle mile service offering will include high-capacity, dedicated Internet Access, point-to-point private line transport services, or Ethernet services. PFN will not manage or limit the content of communications traffic transiting PFN’s network, except to the extent necessary to maintain reliable service. PFN’s network management practices will not involve preferential routing of traffic on the basis of content or provider. PFN will utilize neutral traffic routing and will enable connections to other carriers and to the public Internet. PFN will display its network management policies in a prominent location on its Web page and will provide notice to customers of changes to these policies.

PFN will continue to interconnect with other carriers to exchange traffic at our primary network Point of Presence (“POP”) locations and possibly other network nodes, where feasible. PFN will negotiate with bona fide requesting parties to interconnect on negotiated, commercially-reasonable terms and conditions.
