Common use of Local Loop Clause in Contracts

Local Loop. 4.1 Consistent with Section 2.1 of this Attachment UNE, SBC MISSOURI shall provide Unbundled Local Loop under the following terms and conditions. 4.2 Pursuant to applicable FCC rules, a local loop UNE is a dedicated transmission facility between a distribution frame (or its equivalent) in an SBC MISSOURI Central Office and the loop demarcation point at an premises. Therefore, consistent with the applicable FCC rules, SBC MISSOURI will make available the UNE loops set forth herein below between a distribution frame (or its equivalent) in an SBC MISSOURI Central Office and the loop demarcation point at an premises. The Parties acknowledge and agree that SBC MISSOURI shall not be obligated to provision any of the UNE loops provided for herein to cellular sites. Where applicable, the local loop includes all wire within multiple dwelling and tenant buildings and campuses that provides access to End User premises wiring, provided such wire is owned or controlled by SBC MISSOURI.

CLEC agrees to operate each loop type within the technical descriptions and parameters accepted within the industry. In accordance with 47 C.F.R. 51.319(a)(9), SBC MISSOURI shall not engineer the transmission capabilities of its network in a manner, or engage in any policy, practice, or procedure, that disrupts or degrades access to a local loop or subloop, including the time division multiplexing-based features, functions and capabilities of a hybrid loop, for which a requesting telecommunications carrier may obtain or has obtained access pursuant to this agreement. 4.2.1 When a local loop UNE is ordered to a high voltage area, the Parties understand and agree that the local loop UNE will require a High Voltage Protective Equipment (HVPE) (e.g., a positron), to ensure the safety and integrity of the network, the Parties’ employees and/or representatives, and the CLEC’s end-user customer. Therefore, any request by CLEC for a local loop UNE to a high voltage area will be submitted by CLEC to SBC MISSOURI. If CLEC requests that SBC MISSOURI provision the HVPE, CLEC shall be required to pay SBC MISSOURI on an ICB basis for the HVPE that is provisioned by SBC MISSOURI to CLEC in connection with the CLEC’s UNE loop order to the high voltage area. 4.3 Routine Network Modifications to UNE loops 4.3.1 SBC MISSOURI shall make routine network modifications to unbundled loop facilities used by CLEC where the requested loop facility has already been constructed. SBC MISSOURI shall perform routine network modifications to unbundled loop facilities in a nondiscriminatory fashion, without regard to whether the loop facility being accessed was constructed on behalf, or in accordance with the specifications, of any carrier. 4.3.2 A routine network modification is an activity that SBC MISSOURI regularly undertakes for its own customers. Routine network modifications include rearranging or splicing of cable; adding an equipment case; adding a doubler or repeater; adding a xxxxx xxxx; installing a repeater shelf; adding a line card; deploying a new multiplexer or reconfiguring an existing multiplexer; and attaching electronic and other equipment that SBC MISSOURI ordinarily attaches to a loop to activate such. Routine network modifications may entail activities such as accessing manholes, deploying bucket trucks to reach aerial cable, and installing equipment casings. Routine network modifications do not include the construction of a new loop, or the installation of new aerial or buried cable for a requesting telecommunications carrier, and SBC MISSOURI is not obligated to perform those activities for CLEC. 4.3.3 Routine network modifications do not include constructing new loops; installing new aerial or buried cable; splicing cable at any location other than an existing splice point or at any location where a splice enclosure is not already present; securing permits, rights-of-way, or building access arrangements; constructing and/or placing new manholes, handholes, poles, ducts or conduits; installing new terminals or terminal enclosure (e.g., controlled environmental vaults, huts, or cabinets); or providing new space or power for requesting carriers; or removing or reconfiguring packetized transmission facility. SBC MISSOURI is not obligated to perform those activities for a requesting telecommunications carrier. 4.3.4 SBC MISSOURI shall determine whether or how to perform routine network modifications using the same network or outside plant engineering principles that would be applied in providing service to SBC MISSOURI’s retail customers.
