Line Sharing. 4.1 ‘Line Sharing’ is an arrangement by which Verizon facilitates ICG’s provision of ADSL (in accordance with T1.413), Splitterless ADSL (in accordance with T1.419), RADSL (in accordance with TR # 59), Multiple Virtual Line (MVL (a proprietary technology)), or any other xDSL technology that is presumed to be acceptable for shared line deployment in accordance with FCC rules, to a particular Customer location over an existing copper Loop that is being used simultaneously by Verizon to provide analog circuit-switched voice grade service to that Customer by making available to ICG, solely for ICG’s own use, the frequency range above the voice band on the same copper Loop required by ICG to provide such services. This Section 4 addresses Line Sharing over loops that are entirely copper loops.

In order for a Loop to be eligible for Line Sharing, the following conditions must be satisfied for the duration of the Line Sharing arrangement: (i) the Loop must consist of a copper loop compatible with an xDSL service that is presumed to be acceptable for shared-line deployment in accordance with FCC rules; (ii) Verizon must be providing simultaneous circuit-switched analog voice grade service to the Customer served by the Loop in question; (iii) the Verizon Customer’s dial tone must originate from a Verizon End Office Switch in the Wire Center where the Line Sharing arrangement is being requested; and (iv) the xDSL technology to be deployed by ICG on that Loop must not significantly degrade the performance of other services provided on that Loop.

Line Sharing. The process by which RNK provides xDSL service over the same copper Loop that Verizon uses to provide voice service by utilizing the frequency range on the copper loop above the range that carries analog circuit-switched voice transmissions (the High Frequency Portion of the Loop, or “HFPL”). The HFPL includes the features, functions, and capabilities of the copper Loop that are used to establish a complete transmission path between Verizon’s main distribution frame (or its equivalent) in its serving Wire Center and the demarcation point at the end user’s customer premises, and includes the high frequency portion of any inside wire (including any House and Riser Cable) owned or controlled by Verizon.
