Common use of Loop Provisioning Involving IDLC Clause in Contracts

Loop Provisioning Involving IDLC. 2.6.1 Where ITC^DeltaCom has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the End User and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to ITC^DeltaCom. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for ITC^DeltaCom (e.g., hairpinning): 1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises. 2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated. 3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch. 4. If capacity exists, provide "Digital Access Cross-Connect System (DACS)-door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch). 2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non-designed Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases. 2.6.3 If no alternate facility is available, and upon request from ITC^DeltaCom, and if agreed to by both Parties, BellSouth may utilize its SC process to determine the additional costs required to provision facilities. ITC^DeltaCom will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the Loop.

Loop Provisioning Involving IDLC. 2.6.1 Where ITC^DeltaCom Clearwave Communications has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the End User and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to ITC^DeltaComClearwave Communications. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for ITC^DeltaCom Clearwave Communications (e.g., hairpinning): 1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises. 2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated. 3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch. 4. If capacity exists, provide "Digital Access Cross-Connect System (DACS)-door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch). 2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non-designed Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases. 2.6.3 If no alternate facility is available, and upon request from ITC^DeltaComClearwave Communications, and if agreed to by both Parties, BellSouth may utilize its SC process to determine the additional costs required to provision facilities. ITC^DeltaCom Clearwave Communications will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the Loop.

Loop Provisioning Involving IDLC. 2.6.1 Where ITC^DeltaCom Nex-Phon has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the End User and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to ITC^DeltaComNex-Phon. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for ITC^DeltaCom Nex-Phon (e.g., hairpinning): 1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises. 2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated. 3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch. 4. If capacity exists, provide "Digital Access Cross-Connect System (DACS)-door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch). 2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non-designed Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases. 2.6.3 If no alternate facility is available, and upon request from ITC^DeltaComNex-Phon, and if agreed to by both Parties, BellSouth may utilize its SC process to determine the additional costs required to provision facilities. ITC^DeltaCom Nex-Phon will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the Loop.

Loop Provisioning Involving IDLC. 2.6.1 Where ITC^DeltaCom AFS of GA has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth AT&T uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the End User customer and BellSouth AT&T has a suitable saubitle alternate facility available, BellSouth will AT&Twill make such alternative facilities available to ITC^DeltaComAFS of GA. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will implement one feasiblAe,T&Twill implementone of the following alternative arrangements for ITC^DeltaCom AFS of GA (e.g., hairpinning): 1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises. 2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated. 3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch. 4. If capacity exists, provide "Digital Access Cross-Connect System (DACS)-door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch). 2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non-designed Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases. 2.6.3 2.6.2.1 If no alternate facility is available, ,and upon request from ITC^DeltaComAFS of GA, and if agreed to by both Parties, BellSouth may AT&Tmay utilize its SC process SCprocess to determine the additional costs additionacol sts required to provision facilities. ITC^DeltaCom will then have AFS of GAwill thenhave the option of paying the one-time SC timSeC rates to place the Loop.

Loop Provisioning Involving IDLC. 2.6.1 Where ITC^DeltaCom 1-800-RECONEX has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the End User and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to ITC^DeltaCom1-800-RECONEX. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for ITC^DeltaCom 1-800-RECONEX (e.g., hairpinning): 1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises. 2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated. 3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch. 4.
