9.1.1 The Wireless Collocator shall use a dielectric fire retardant fiber cable as the transmission medium
to the Dedicated Space or, where technically and structurally feasible, may use microwave.
Collocation requests utilizing facilities other than fiber will be provided as an Individual Case Basis
(ICB). AT&T-13STATE will only permit copper or coaxial cable as the transmission medium where
the Wireless Collocator can demonstrate to AT&T-13STATE that use of such cable will not impair
AT&T-13STATE’s ability to service its own customers or subsequent Wireless Collocators.
9.1.2 AT&T-13STATE shall provide a minimum of two separate points of entry into the Eligible Structure,
where applicable, in which the Dedicated Space is located wherever there are at least two entry
points for AT&T-13STATE cable. AT&T-13STATE will also provide nondiscriminatory access to
any entry point into Eligible Structures in excess of two (2) points in those locations where AT&T-
13STATE also has access to more than two such entry points. Where such dual points of entry
are not immediately available, AT&T-13STATE shall perform work as is necessary to make
available such separate points of entry for the Wireless Collocator at the same time that it makes
such separate points of entry available for itself. In each instance where AT&T-13STATE performs
such work in order to accommodate its own needs and those specified by the Wireless Collocator
in the Wireless Collocator’s written request, the Wireless Collocator and AT&T-13STATE shall
share the costs incurred by prorating those costs using the number of cables to be placed in the
entry point by both AT&T-13STATE and the Wireless Collocator(s).
9.1.3 The Wireless Collocator is responsible for bringing its facilities to the entrance manhole(s)
designated by AT&T-13STATE, and leaving sufficient length of the cable in the manhole for AT&T-
13STATE to fully extend the Wireless Collocator-provided facilities through the cable vault to the
Dedicated Space. If Wireless Collocator has not left the cable in the manhole within one hundred
twenty (120) calendar of the request for entrance fiber, the Wireless Collocator’s request for
entrance fiber will expire and a new request must be submitted along with applicable fees. The
Wireless Collocator must notify AT&T-13STATE no later than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the
end of the 120 day period, for an additional thirty (30) day extension to place cable at the manhole.
9.2 Demarcation Point
9.2.1 The demarcation point is the end of the AT&T-13STATE provided interconnection cable at the
Collocation arrangement (CDOW- AT&T owned frame location as assigned to the Wireless
Collocator).
10. USE OF DEDICATED SPACE
10.1 Nature of Use - Collocatable Equipment
10.1.1 In accordance with Section 251(c)(6) of the Act, the Wireless Collocator may collocate equipment
for Physical Collocation if such equipment is necessary for interconnection to AT&T-13STATE
under 47.U.S.C. § 251(C) .Such uses are limited to interconnection to AT&T-13STATE's network
“for the transmission and routing of Telephone Exchange service or Exchange Access .
10.1.2 Equipment is necessary for interconnection if an inability to deploy that equipment would, as a
practical, economic, or operations matter, preclude the Wireless Collocator from obtaining
interconnection with AT&T-13STATE at a level equal in quality to that which AT&T-13STATE
obtains within its own network or AT&T-13STATE provides to an affiliate, subsidiary, or other party
function .
10.1.3 Multi-functional equipment shall be deemed necessary for interconnection if and only if the primary
purpose and function of the equipment, as the Wireless Collocator seeks to deploy it, meets the
standards set forth above in this Section. For a piece of equipment to be utilized primarily to obtain
equal in quality interconnection, there also must be a logical nexus between the additional
