DS3 Digital Loop. 4.6.1 The DS3 loop provides a digital, 45 Mbps transmission facility from the AT&T Central Office to the end user premises.
4.6.2 DS3 251(c)(3) UNE loops will be offered and/or provided only where such Loops have not been Declassified. Page 82 of 316 4.6.3 The procedures set forth in Section 4.5, below will apply in the event DS3 Digital Loops are or have been Declassified.
4.6.4 DS3 Loop “Caps”
4.6.4.1 AT&T is not obligated to provide to CLEC more than one (1) DS3 251(c)(3) UNE loop per requesting carrier to any single building in which DS3 Loops have not been otherwise Declassified; accordingly, CLEC may not order or otherwise obtain, and CLEC will cease ordering unbundled DS3 Loops once CLEC has already obtained one DS3 251(c)(3) UNE loop to the same building. If, notwithstanding this Section, CLEC submits such an order, at AT&T’s option it may accept the order, but convert any requested DS3 251(c)(3) UNE Loop(s) in excess of the cap to Special Access, and applicable Special Access charges will apply to CLEC for such DS3 Loop(s) as of the date of provisioning.
DS3 Digital Loop. 2.2.5.1 The DS3 loop provides a digital, 45 Mbps transmission facility from the SBC-13STATE Central Office to the end user premises.
3. Unbundled DS1 and DS3 loops may not be employed in combination with transport facilities, except consistently with the certification and other requirements of the Supplemental Order released and adopted by the FCC on November 24, 1999 in Docket No. 96-98 (“in the Matter of the Implementation of the Local Competition Provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996”), including but not limited to the requirement that significant local exchange traffic, in addition to exchange access service, be provided to a particular customer over the facilities in compliance with the Supplemental Order, and with SBC-13STATE’s processes implementing the Supplemental Order.
2.6 Add new Schedule 9.2.3
9.2.3.1 The Network Interface Device (NID) unbundled network element is defined as any means of interconnection of End User customer premises wiring to SBC-13STATE’s distribution loop facilities, such as a cross connect device used for that purpose. Fundamentally, the NID establishes the final (and official) network demarcation point between the loop and the End User’s inside wire. Maintenance and control of the End User’s inside wiring (on the End User’s side of the NID) is under the control of the End User. Conflicts between telephone service providers for access to the End User’s inside wire must be resolved by the End User. Pursuant to applicable FCC rules, SBC- 13STATE offers nondiscriminatory access to the NID on an unbundled basis to any requesting telecommunications carrier for the provision of a telecommunications service. CLEC access to the NID is offered as specified below (SBC-12STATE) or by tariff (SNET).
DS3 Digital Loop. 7.2.5.1 The DS3 loop provides a digital, 45 Mbps transmission facility from the SBC-13STATE Central Office to the end user premises.
7.3 Unbundled DS1 and DS3 loops may not be employed in combination with transport facilities to replace special access services or facilities, except consistently with the certification and other requirements of the Supplemental Order released and adopted by the FCC on November 24, 1999 in Docket No. 96-98 (“In the Matter of the Implementation of the Local Competition Provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996”), including but not limited to the requirement that significant local exchange traffic, in addition to exchange access service, be provided to a particular customer over the facilities in compliance with the Supplemental Order, and with SBC-13STATE’s processes implementing the Supplemental Order.
