The “Defined Batch Hot Cut Process” is designed to support hot cuts associated with the conversion of CLEC’s Embedded Base from service provisioned using SBC-provided switching to service provisioned using CLEC-provided switching or third-party provided switching, and will also allow for migrations of a CLEC’s Embedded Base to other competitive carriers, CLEC to CLEC migrations, and line-splitting to unbundled loop with DSL migrations. CLEC may request up to two hundred hot cuts per day per central office using the Defined Batch Hot Cut Process. The maximum number of Defined Batch Hot Cut Process requests that SBC must accept for a single day in a si ngle central office for all CLECs combined is two hundred and fifty lines, on a first come, first served basis. The Defined Batch Hot Cut Process may also be used where CLEC acts as a wholesaler to another provider (and conversely may also be used where CLEC is the retail provider and relies on switching provided by another provider), and specifically where the wholesaler provider using its own switches uses its own OCN in submitting the batch orders to SBC. In such a wholesale situation, the retail provider to the end user does not need to issue its own orders for batch hot cuts and SBC must accept the batch hot cut orders from the wholesale provider. Similarly, where switching is provided by a third party provider, CLEC can issue orders for batch hot cuts to migrate its customers to CLEC’s own switch. Furthermore, where switching is provided by a third party provider, another third party provider can with proper authorization from CLEC issue batch hot cut orders to migrate customers to the switching of the new third party provider.
