Common use of Loop Clause in Contracts

Loop. 44.1. Sprint will provide CLEC access to Local Loops as defined in Part A including Copper Loops, Hybrid Loops, and FTTH Loops. The following section includes the terms and conditions for Copper Loops, Hybrid Loops, and FTTH Loops. Terms and conditions for making any network modifications resulting from CLEC’s request for Local Loops is contained in Section 50. 44.2. At CLEC’s request, and if technically feasible, Sprint will test and report trouble on conditioned loops for all of the line’s features, functions, and capabilities, and will not restrict its testing to voice-transmission only. Testing shall include Basic Testing and Cooperative Testing. Basic Testing shall include simple metallic measurements only, performed by accessing the loop through the voice switch. 44.2.1. Basic Testing does not include cooperative efforts that require Sprint’s technician to work jointly with CLEC’s staff (“Cooperative Testing”). 44.2.2. Cooperative testing will be provided by Sprint at CLEC’s expense. Sprint technicians will try to contact CLEC’s representative at the conclusion of installation. If the CLEC does not respond within 3 minutes, Sprint may, in its sole discretion, abandon the test and CLEC will be charged for the test. 44.2.3. Sprint will charge CLEC at the rates set out on Table One, when the location of the trouble on a CLEC-reported ticket is determined to be in CLEC’s network or on the CLEC end user’s side of the Demarcation Point.
