CHANGES IN END USER LOCAL EXCHANGE SERVICE. PROVIDER SELECTION
CHANGES IN END USER LOCAL EXCHANGE SERVICE. PROVIDER SELECTION ------------------------------------------------------------- Each Party will abide by applicable state or federal laws and regulations in obtaining End User authorization prior to changing End User's local service provider to itself and in assuming responsibility for any applicable charges as specified in Section 258(b) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. CLEC shall make authorization available to PACIFIC upon request and at no charge. Only an End User can initiate a challenge to a change in its local exchange service provider. If an End User notifies PACIFIC or CLEC that the End User requests local exchange service, the Party receiving such request shall be free to immediately provide service to such End User. When an End User changes or withdraws authorization, each Party shall release customer-specific facilities in accordance with the End User's direction or the End User's authorized agent. Further, when an End User abandons the premise, PACIFIC is free to reclaim the unbundled network element facilities for use by another customer and is free to issue service orders required to reclaim such facilities.
