is not offering xDSL services to the customer on that Loop. BellSouth is not
required to condition a Loop for access to the High Frequency Spectrum if
conditioning significantly degrades BellSouth’s voice service. Should BellSouth
refuse to condition a Loop because it will significantly degrade voiceband services,
BellSouth must make an affirmative showing to the state commission that
conditioning the specific Loop in question will significantly degrade the voiceband
service. The state commission will determine on a case-by-case basis whether or
not a specific Loop will significantly degrade the voice service on that Loop.
3.1.9 Line Sharing shall only be available on Loops on which BellSouth is also
providing, and continues to provide, analog voice service directly to the end user.
In the event the end user terminates its BellSouth provided voice service for any
reason, or in the event BellSouth disconnects the end user’s voice service pursuant
to its tariffs or applicable law, and TC SYSTEMS desires to continue providing
xDSL service on such Loop, TC SYSTEMS shall be required to purchase a full
stand-alone Loop UNE. To the extent commercially practicable, BellSouth shall
give TC SYSTEMS notice in a reasonable time prior to disconnect, which notice
shall give TC SYSTEMS an adequate opportunity to notify BellSouth of its intent
to purchase such Loop. In those cases in which BellSouth no longer provides
voice service to the end user and TC SYSTEMS purchases the full stand-alone
Loop, TC SYSTEMS may elect the type of Loop it will purchase. TC SYSTEMS
will pay the appropriate recurring and nonrecurring rates for such Loop as set
forth in Exhibit A to this Attachment. In the event TC SYSTEMS purchases a
voice grade Loop, TC SYSTEMS acknowledges that such Loop may not remain
xDSL compatible.
3.1.10 If TC SYSTEMS reports a trouble on the High Frequency Spectrum of a Loop
and no trouble actually exists on the BellSouth portion, BellSouth will charge TC
SYSTEMS for any dispatching and testing (both inside and outside the CO)
required by BellSouth in order to confirm the working status. The rates charged
for no trouble found (NTF) shall be as set forth in Exhibit A of this Attachment.
3.1.11 Only one CLEC shall be permitted access to the High Frequency Spectrum of any
particular Loop.
3.2 Provisioning of Line Sharing and Splitter Space
3.2.1 BellSouth will provide TC SYSTEMS with access to the High Frequency
Spectrum as follows:
3.2.1.1 To order High Frequency Spectrum on a particular Loop, TC SYSTEMS must
have a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) collocated in the
central office or other network location that can serve the end user of such Loop.
