Common use of Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers Clause in Contracts

Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers. 2.13.1 Where NuVox has requested an Unbundled Loop and AT&T uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the customer and AT&T has a suitable alternate facility available, AT&T will make such alternative facilities available to NuVox. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, AT&T will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for NuVox (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). 2.13.2 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. 2.13.3 If no alternate facility is available, and upon request from NuVox, and if agreed to by both Parties, AT&T may utilize its Special Construction (SC) process to determine the additional costs required to provision facilities. NuVox will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the loop.

Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers. 2.13.1 2.3.1 Where NuVox BHN has requested an Unbundled Loop and AT&T uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the customer End User and AT&T has a suitable alternate facility available, AT&T will make such alternative facilities available to NuVoxBHN. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, AT&T will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for NuVox BHN (e.g., e.g. hairpinning): 1.
