Common use of Provisioning Clause in Contracts

Provisioning. VERIZON agrees to provide UNEs and UNE-Ps in a timely manner, in accordance with Article 1, Section 3.6 (OSS Performance Measures), considering the need and volume of requests, pursuant to agreed upon service provisioning intervals. VERIZON shall provide power to ordered UNEs and UNE-Ps on the same basis as VERIZON provides power to itself. UNEs and UNE-Ps will be provided only when facilities are Currently Available. If facilities are not Currently Available, Sprint will be notified and the order will be rejected. For loop orders, if VERIZON has planned an installation of facilities to augment the exhausted facilities, that date will be provided to Sprint on the jeopardy report from the VERIZON ordering center (NOMC). Upon installation of VERIZON facilities, those facilities will be made available to Sprint on a first come, first served basis. The determination of whether or not facilities are Currently Available will be made on a case- by-case basis. Sprint may use the Bona Fide Request (BFR) process to request VERIZON to construct facilities at Sprint’s expense. VERIZON will use the following guidelines to determine if facilities are Currently Available to provision a requested UNE or UNE-P. 4.4.1 VERIZON is not required to build new interoffice facilities or outside plant feeder or distribution facilities. 4.4.2 VERIZON will not breach existing interoffice facilities, outside plant feeder or distribution facilities or Central Office Switch cabling or wiring to install new electronics or housing for plug-in electronic cards or modules. A facility is considered breached when the wire or fiber within the cable must be accessed at a point other than an access terminal. VERIZON will install new plug-in cards or modules when the housing already exists and is wired into the network. 4.4.3 In most circumstances, VERIZON will install drops and NIDs to connect outside plant facilities to a Customer’s premises to provide a UNE loop. VERIZON will use the same procedures it uses to determine when a drop would routinely be installed for a VERIZON Customer, or to determine if a drop will be installed for a UNE loop. Drops will not be installed when conditions such as excessive length, size of cable or use of fiber optics would require VERIZON outside plant construction. 4.4.4 VERIZON will not install new switches or augment switching capacity. 4.4.5 VERIZON will not install new software or activate software requiring a new right to use fee in switching equipment. VERIZON will activate software that is currently loaded in a switch but is not in use. 4.4.6 In certain situations, VERIZON utilizes pair gain technology, such as Integrated Digital Loop Carrier (IDLC)2 or analog carrier, to provision facilities. VERIZON may not be able to provision a loop UNE in such cases. Where VERIZON can provision a Local Loop UNE using such technologies, the capabilities of such Local Loop UNE may be limited. If SPRINT orders a loop UNE that would normally be provisioned over facilities using such technology, VERIZON will use alternate facilities to provision the loop UNE if alternate facilities are Currently Available, and the alternate facilities meet Sprints technical requirements. If alternate facilities are not Currently Available, VERIZON will advise SPRINT that facilities are not available to provision the requested loop UNE. When VERIZON utilizes pair gain technology to provision facilities and Sprint orders all loops provisioned by the specific pair gain device, VERIZON will consider, pursuant to the BFR process contained in Section 4.5, a request by Sprint for VERIZON to connect Sprint interoffice facilities to the VERIZON pair gain device.

Provisioning. VERIZON GTE agrees to provide UNEs and UNE-Ps in a timely manner, in accordance with Article 1, Section 3.6 (OSS Performance Measures), considering the need and volume of requests, pursuant to agreed upon service provisioning intervals. VERIZON GTE shall provide power to ordered UNEs and UNE-Ps on the same basis as VERIZON GTE provides power to itself. UNEs and UNE-Ps will be provided only when facilities are Currently Available. If facilities are not Currently Available, Sprint US Dial Tone will be notified and the order will be rejected. For loop orders, if VERIZON has planned an installation of facilities to augment the exhausted facilities, that date will be provided to Sprint on the jeopardy report from the VERIZON ordering center (NOMC). Upon installation of VERIZON facilities, those facilities will be made available to Sprint on a first come, first served basis. The determination of whether or not facilities are Currently Available will be made on a case- case-by-case basis. Sprint US Dial Tone may use the Bona Fide Request (BFR) process to request VERIZON GTE to construct facilities at SprintUS Dial Tone’s expense. VERIZON GTE will use the following guidelines to determine if facilities are Currently Available to provision a requested UNE or UNE-P.P: 4.4.1 VERIZON is 3.4.1 GTE will not required to build place new interoffice facilities or outside plant feeder or distribution facilities. 4.4.2 VERIZON 3.4.2 GTE will not breach existing interoffice facilities, outside plant feeder or distribution facilities or Central Office Switch central office cabling or wiring to install new electronics or housing for plug-in electronic cards or modules. A facility is considered breached when the wire or fiber within the cable must be accessed at a point other than an access terminal. VERIZON GTE will install new plug-in cards or modules when the housing already exists and is wired into the network. 4.4.3 3.4.3 In most circumstances, VERIZON GTE will install drops and NIDs to connect outside plant facilities to a Customeran end-user’s premises to provide a UNE loop. VERIZON GTE will use the same procedures it its uses to determine when a drop would routinely be installed for a VERIZON Customer, or GTE Customer to determine if a drop will be installed for a UNE loop. Drops will not be installed when conditions such as excessive length, size of cable or use of fiber optics would require VERIZON GTE outside plant constructionconstruction personnel to install the drop. 4.4.4 VERIZON 3.4.4 GTE will not install new switches or augment switching capacity. 4.4.5 VERIZON will not install new software or activate software requiring a new right to use fee in switching equipment. VERIZON will activate software that is currently loaded in a switch but is not in use. 4.4.6 In certain situations, VERIZON utilizes pair gain technology, such as Integrated Digital Loop Carrier (IDLC)2 or analog carrier, to provision facilities.

Provisioning. VERIZON agrees GTE will not release the Customer service record (CSR) containing Customer proprietary network information (CPNI) to provide UNEs USA Digital on GTE Customer accounts unless USA Digital first provides to GTE a written Letter of Authorization (LOA). Such LOA may be a blanket LOA or other form agreed upon between GTE and UNE-Ps in a timely mannerUSA Digital authorizing the release of such information to USA Digital or if state or federal law provides otherwise, in accordance with Article 1, Section 3.6 (OSS Performance Measures), considering such law. A LOA will be required before GTE will process an order for UNEs or Combinations provided in cases in which the need and volume of requests, pursuant to subscriber currently receives local exchange or Exchange Access service from GTE or from a local service provider other than USA Digital. Such LOA may be a blanket LOA or such other form as agreed upon service provisioning intervals.
