An interconnect agreement is like when you and your friend make a deal to share your toys. It's an agreement between two companies that says they can share and use each other's things, like phone lines or internet connections.
Just like how you and your friend might set rules for sharing your toys – like how long they can borrow them or what happens if something gets broken – companies also set rules for using each other's things. They might agree on how much it costs to use each other's resources or what happens if something goes wrong.
These agreements are important because they help companies work together more efficiently and offer better services to their customers. It's like if you and your friend share your toys, you can play together and have more fun than if you were playing alone with just your own toys.
