Common use of Unbundled Loop Facility Qualification Clause in Contracts

Unbundled Loop Facility Qualification. If NEN plans to deploy service enhancing technologies (e.g. ADSL, HDSL, ISDN, etc.) over unbundled copper loops that could potentially interfere with other service enhancing technologies that may be deployed within the same cable sheath, NEN is responsible for notifying GTE of its intent. GTE will determine if there are any existing or planned service enhancing technologies deployed within the same cable sheath that would be interfered with if NEN deployed the proposed technology. If there are existing service enhancing technologies deployed or in the process of being deployed by GTE or other CLECs, GTE will so advise NEN and NEN shall not be permitted to deploy such service enhancing technology. If NEN disagrees with GTE’s determination, the Parties will jointly review the basis for GTE’s decision and attempt to mutually resolve the disagreement.
