Common use of Routine Network Modifications Clause in Contracts

Routine Network Modifications. A Routine Network Modification is an activity that CenturyTel regularly undertakes for its own customers. (a) For purposes of UNE loops, Routine Network Modifications include: rearranging or splicing of cable; adding an equipment case; adding a doubler or repeater; adding a xxxxx xxxx; installing a repeater shelf; adding a line card; deploying a new multiplexer or reconfiguring an existing multiplexer; and attaching electronic and other equipment that CenturyTel ordinarily attaches to a loop to activate such loop for its own customer. Routine Network Modifications may also include activities needed to enable Charter to obtain access to Dark Fiber. Routine Network Modifications may also entail activities such as accessing manholes, deploying bucket trucks to reach aerial cable, and installing equipment casings. (b) For purposes of UNE Dedicated Transport, Routine Network Modifications include: rearranging or splicing of cable; adding an equipment case; adding a doubler or repeater; installing a repeater shelf; deploying a new multiplexer or reconfiguring an existing multiplexer; or performing activities needed to enable Charter to light a Dark Fiber transport facility. Routine Network modifications also may entail activities such as accessing manholes, deploying bucket trucks to reach aerial cable, and installing equipment casings. Routine Network Modifications do not include: the construction of a new loop or new transport; installation of new aerial or buried cable; splicing cable at any location other than an existing splice point or at any location where a splice enclosure is not already present; securing permits, rights-of-way, or building access arrangements; constructing and/or placing new manholes, handholes, poles, ducts or conduits; installing new terminals or terminal enclosure (e.g., controlled environmental vaults, huts, or cabinets); or providing new space or power for requesting carriers; or removing or reconfiguring packetized transmission facility. CenturyTel is not obligated to perform these and other similar activities for Charter.

Routine Network Modifications. 4.5.1 SBC MISSOURI shall make routine network modifications to UNE local loop facilities used by requesting telecommunications carriers where the requested UNE local loop facility has already been constructed. SBC MISSOURI shall perform routine network modifications to UNE local loop facilities in a nondiscriminatory fashion, without regard to whether the UNE local loop facility being accessed was constructed on behalf, or in accordance with the specifications, of any carrier. 4.5.2 A Routine Network Modification routine network modification is an activity that CenturyTel SBC MISSOURI regularly undertakes for its own customers. (a) For purposes of UNE loops, . Routine Network Modifications include: network modifications include rearranging or splicing of existing cable; adding an equipment case; adding a doubler or repeater; adding a xxxxx xxxx; installing a repeater shelf; adding a line card; deploying a new multiplexer or reconfiguring an existing multiplexer; and attaching electronic and other equipment that CenturyTel the incumbent LEC ordinarily attaches to a loop to activate such loop loops for its own customerretail customers under the same conditions and in the same manner that SBC MISSOURI does for its own customers. Routine Network Modifications may also include activities needed to enable Charter to obtain access to Dark Fiber. Routine Network Modifications may also entail activities such as accessing manholes, deploying bucket trucks to reach aerial cable, and installing equipment casings. (b) For purposes of UNE Dedicated Transport, Routine Network Modifications include: rearranging or splicing of cable; adding an equipment case; adding a doubler or repeater; installing a repeater shelf; deploying a new multiplexer or reconfiguring an existing multiplexer; or performing activities needed to enable Charter to light a Dark Fiber transport facility. Routine Network network modifications also may entail activities such as accessing manholes, deploying bucket trucks to reach aerial cable, and installing equipment casings. SBC MISSOURI will place drops in the same manner as it does for its own customers. 4.5.3 Routine Network Modifications network modifications do not include: the construction of a include constructing new loop or UNE loops; installing new transport; installation of new aerial or buried cable; splicing cable at any location other than an existing splice point or at any location where a splice enclosure is not already present; securing permits, rights-of-way, or building access arrangements; constructing and/or placing new manholes, handholes, poles, ducts manholes or conduits; installing new terminals or terminal enclosure (e.g., controlled environmental vaults, huts, or cabinets)terminals; or providing new space or power for requesting carriers; or removing or reconfiguring packetized transmission facility. CenturyTel SBC MISSOURI is not obligated to perform these and other similar those activities for Chartera requesting telecommunications carrier. 4.5.3.1 SBC MISSOURI shall determine whether and how to perform routine network modifications using the same network or outside plant engineering principles that would be applied in providing service to SBC MISSOURI’s retail customers. 4.5.3.2 This Agreement does not require SBC MISSOURI to deploy time division multiplexing-based features, functions and capabilities with any copper or fiber packetized transmission facility to the extent SBC MISSOURI has not already done so; remove or reconfigure packet switching equipment or equipment used to provision a packetized transmission path; reconfigure a copper or fiber packetized transmission facility to provide time division multiplexing-based features, functions and capabilities; to deploy TDM voice grade transmission capacity into new or existing networks that never had TDM capability; nor does this Agreement prohibit SBC MISSOURI from upgrading a customer from a TDM-based service to a packet switched or packet transmission service, or removing copper loops or subloops from the network, provided SBC MISSOURI complies with the copper loop or subloop retirement rules in 47 C.F.R. 51.319(a)(3)(iii). 4.5.3.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, SBC MISSOURI’s obligations with respect to routine network modifications apply only where the loop transmission facilities are subject to unbundling and, as to access to the TDM capabilities of SBC MISSOURI’s hybrid loops, only with respect to any existing capabilities of SBC MISSOURI’s hybrid loops. SBC MISSOURI has no obligation to perform routine network modifications in connection with FTTH loops or FTTC loops. 4.5.4 SBC MISSOURI shall provide routine network modifications at the rates, terms and conditions set out in this Attachment and in Appendix Pricing. A rate for any routine network modification shown as “ICB” in Appendix Pricing indicates that the Parties have not negotiated, and/or that the State Commission has not reviewed or approved, a specific rate for that routine network modification. The ICB rate shall be determined on an individual case basis and shall reflect an engineering estimate of the actual costs of time and materials required to perform the routine network modification; provided, however, that the ICB rate shall not include any costs already recovered through existing, applicable recurring and non-recurring charges. The resulting ICB rates shall continue to apply to such routine network modifications unless and until the Parties negotiate specific rates for such routine network modifications or specific rates are otherwise established for such routine network modifications.
