Common use of Local Loops Clause in Contracts

Local Loops. The local loop UNE is defined as the transmission facility (or channel or group of channels on such facility) that extends from a Main Distribution Frame (MDF), or its equivalent, in a GTE end office or wire center up to and including the loop “demarcation point”, including inside wire owned by GTE. The loop demarcation point is that point on the loop facility where GTE’s ownership and control ends and the subscriber’s ownership and control begins. Generally, loops are provisioned as 2-wire or 4-wire copper pairs running from the end office MDF to the subscriber’s premises. However, a loop may be provided via other means, including radio frequencies, as a channel on a high-capacity feeder/distribution facility which may, in turn, be distributed from a node location to the subscriber’s premises via a copper or coaxial drop or other facility. The loop includes all features, functions and capabilities of such transmission facilities, including attached electronics (except those electronics used for the provision of advanced services, such as digital subscriber line access multiplexers (“DSLAMs”)) and line conditioning.
