Spectrum Management. 8.1 AT&T ILLINOIS agrees that CLEC’S order for xDSL-capable Loops will not be delayed by any lack of availability of a specific binder group or “spectrum exhaust.” If AT&T ILLINOIS initiates a reconfiguration of loops into a different binder group, it shall do so in a competitively neutral manner consistent with all relevant industry standards and at no cost to CLEC.
8.2 AT&T ILLINOIS agrees that as a part of spectrum management, it will maintain an inventory of the existing services provisioned on the cable. AT&T ILLINOIS will use commercially reasonable efforts to assign loops so as to minimize interference between and among advanced services, including xDSL-based services, and other services. AT&T ILLINOIS will not use Selective Feeder Separation (SFS). AT&T ILLINOIS has opened binder groups to all xDSL services and all xDSL providers, and will not deny any loops on the basis of binder group management designations or business rules, or limit the deployment of xDSL services to certain pair ranges (with the exception of binder groups containing AMI T1 services). AT&T ILLINOIS may not segregate xDSL technologies into designated binder groups without specific Commission or FCC review and approval, or approved industry standard. AT&T ILLINOIS shall not deny CLEC a loop based upon spectrum management issues in the absence of review and approval from the Commission(s). In all cases, AT&T ILLINOIS will manage the spectrum in a competitively neutral manner consistent with all relevant industry standards regardless of whether the service is provided by CLEC or by AT&T ILLINOIS as well as competitively neutral as between different xDSL services. Where disputes arise, AT&T ILLINOIS and CLEC will put forth a good faith effort to resolve such disputes in a timely manner. As a part of spectrum management, AT&T ILLINOIS will maintain an inventory with respect to the number of loops using advanced services technology within a binder group and the type of technology deployed on those loops, using the PSD mask information provided by CLEC to AT&T ILLINOIS. Upon request from CLEC, AT&T ILLINOIS will disclose within 3-5 business days spectrum management information with respect to the number of loops using advanced services technology within the binder group and the type of technology deployed on those loops so that the involved Parties may examine the deployment of services within the affected loop plant. If there is any dispute between the Parties with respect to this Se...
