Network Interface Device. 43.1. Sprint will offer unbundled access to the network interface device element (NID). The NID is defined as any means of interconnection of end-user customer premises wiring to an incumbent LEC’s distribution plant, such as a cross connect device used for that purpose. This includes all features, functions, and capabilities of the facilities used to connect the loop to end-user customer premises wiring, regardless of the specific mechanical design.
43.2. The function of the NID is to establish the network demarcation point between a LEC (ILEC/CLEC) and its subscriber. The NID provides a protective ground connection, protection against lightning and other high voltage surges and is capable of terminating cables such as twisted pair cable.
43.3. CLEC may connect its NID to Sprint’s NID; may connect an unbundled loop to its NID; or may connect its own Loop to Sprint’s NID. Sprint will provide one NID termination with each loop. If additional NID terminations are required, CLEC may request them pursuant to the process detailed in the Bona Fide Request Section herein.
43.4. Sprint will provide CLEC with information that will enable their technician to locate end user inside wiring at NIDs terminating multiple subscribers. Sprint will dispatch a technician and tag the wiring at the CLEC’s request. In such cases the charges specified in Table One will apply.
43.5. Sprint will not provide specialized (Sprint non-standard) NIDS.
43.6. The Sprint NID shall provide a clean, accessible point of connection for the inside wiring and for the distribution media and/or cross connect to CLEC’s NID and shall maintain a connection to ground that meets applicable industry standards. Each Party shall ground its NID independently of the other party’s NID.

68.2 Under no circumstances shall CLEC connect to either side of the NID or to the End User’s Inside Wiring unless the CenturyLink network is first properly disconnected from the End User’s Inside Wiring as set forth in this Article.
68.3 Except in multi-unit tenant properties where CenturyLink owns and maintains control over inside wire within a building, maintenance and control of the End User’s inside wiring (i.e., on the End User’s side of the Demarcation Point) is under the control of the End User. Conflicts between telephone service providers for access to the End User’s inside wire on the End User’s side of the Demarcation Point must be resolved by the End User.
68.4 CLEC may obtain access to the NID on CenturyLink’s network side or the End User Access side on a stand-alone basis to permit CLEC to connect its own loop facilities to the Premises wiring. CLEC may not connect to the End User Access side of the NID except in accordance with these terms.
68.5 CLEC may elect to isolate CenturyLink’s network from the Customer Inside Wiring within the NID on the End User Access side of the NID, but CLEC shall not perform any disconnect on the network side of the NID. CenturyLink, at the request of CLEC, will disconnect CenturyLink’s network from the NID or will arrange access to the network side of the NID for any purpose. The charges reflected in Table 1 will apply to any CenturyLink dispatch for any purpose initiated at CLEC’s request. The phrase “End User Access side of the NID” is descriptive and does not convey any ownership or usage rights.

Network Interface Device. 9.1 Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 and at Z-Tel’s request, Verizon shall permit Z-Tel to connect a Z-Tel Loop to the Inside Wiring of a Customer through the use of a Verizon NID in the manner set forth in this Section 9. Verizon shall provide Z-Tel with access to NIDs in accordance with, but only to the extent required by, Applicable Law. Z-Tel may access a Verizon NID either by means of a Cross Connection (but only if the use of such Cross Connection is technically feasible) from an adjoining Z-Tel NID deployed by Z-Tel or, if an entrance module is available in the Verizon NID, by connecting a Z-Tel Loop to the Verizon NID. In all cases, Verizon shall perform this Cross Connection. When necessary, Verizon will rearrange its facilities to provide access to an existing Customer’s Inside Wire. An entrance module is available only if facilities are not connected to it
9.2 In no case shall Z-Tel access, remove, disconnect or in any other way rearrange, Verizon’s Loop facilities from Verizon’s NIDs, enclosures, or protectors.
9.3 In no case shall Z-Tel access, remove, disconnect or in any other way rearrange, a Customer’s Inside Wire from Verizon’s NIDs, enclosures, or protectors where such Customer Inside Wire is used in the provision of ongoing Telecommunications Service to that Customer.
9.4 In no case shall Z-Tel remove or disconnect ground wires from Verizon’s NIDs, enclosures, or protectors.
9.5 In no case shall Z-Tel remove or disconnect NID modules, protectors, or terminals from Verizon’s NID enclosures.
9.6 Maintenance and control of premises Inside Wiring is the responsibility of the Customer. Any conflicts between service providers for access to the Customer’s Inside Wire must be resolved by the person who controls use of the wire (e.g., the Customer). When Z-Tel is connecting a Z-Tel-provided Loop to the Inside Wiring of a Customer’s premises through the Customer’s side of the Verizon NID, Z-Tel does not need to submit a request to Verizon and Verizon shall not charge Z-Tel for access to the Verizon NID. In such instances, Z-Tel shall comply with the provisions of Sections 9.2 through 9.7 of this Agreement and shall access the Customer’s Inside Wire in the manner set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement.
9.7 Due to the wide variety of NIDs utilized by Verizon (based on Customer size and environmental considerations), Z-Tel may access the Customer’s Inside Wire, acting as the agent of the Customer by any of the following means:

Network Interface Device. 3.1 The Network Interface Device (NID) is a device used to connect loop facilities to inside wiring or a compatible interface device or NID on a AT&T owned or controlled telephone pole where the CLEC Radio Port connects with AT&T’s network. The fundamental function of the NID is to establish the official network demarcation point between a carrier and its end user customer or a AT&T-supplied loop and a compatible interface device or NID on a AT&T owned or controlled telephone pole where the CLEC Radio Port connects with AT&T’s network. The NID Unbundled Network Element is defined as any means of interconnection of end-user customer premises wiring to AT&T’s distribution loop facilities, such as cross connect device used for that purpose, and it includes all features, functions, and capabilities of the NID. The NID contains the appropriate and accessible connection points or posts to which AT&T, CLEC and/or the end user customer each make its connections. Pursuant to applicable FCC rules, AT&T offers nondiscriminatory access to the network interface device on an unbundled basis to any requesting telecommunications carrier for the provision of a telecommunications service.
3.1.1 The NID can be a single-line termination device or that portion of a multiple-line termination device required to terminate a single line or circuit.
