SYSTEMS will be responsible for repairing data services. Each Party will be
responsible for maintaining its own equipment.
3.6.3 TC SYSTEMS shall inform its end users to direct data problems to TC
SYSTEMS, unless both voice and data services are impaired, in which event the
end users should call BellSouth.
3.6.4 Once a Party has isolated a trouble to the other Party’s portion of the Loop, the
Party isolating the trouble shall notify the end user that the trouble is on the other
Party’s portion of the Loop.
3.6.5 In the event that TC SYSTEMS's deployment of xDSL on the High Frequency
Spectrum degrades the voice service such that the end user cannot place a call or
the degradation is E911 service affecting, BellSouth will restore the service to its
original state and TC SYSTEMS shall pay for such restoration at the Loop
conditioning rate. . Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this
Agreement, when BellSouth receives a trouble and isolates the trouble to the
physical collocation arrangement belonging to TC SYSTEMS, BellSouth will
notify TC SYSTEMS and bill TC SYSTEMS the NTF charges as described in
3.1.10 above. BellSouth will call TC SYSTEMS and inform TC SYSTEMS of the
trouble in its equipment. TC SYSTEMS may initiate the BellSouth Customer
Wholesale Interconnection Network Services (CWINS) Maintenance Change
Process for CLEC Connecting Facility Assignments (CFA) to restore the data
service.
3.7 Line Splitting
3.7.1 Line Splitting – a competing carrier (TC SYSTEMS or data LEC, but not an
incumbent LEC) seeks to provide combined voice and data services on the same
unbundled Loop, or two competing carriers join to provide voice and data
services.
3.7.2 In the event TC SYSTEMS provides its own switching, obtains switching from a
third party or TC SYSTEMS obtains switching from a separately negotiated
agreement with BellSouth, TC SYSTEMS may engage in line splitting
arrangements with another CLEC using a splitter, provided by TC SYSTEMS, in a
Collocation Arrangement at the central office where the Loop terminates into a
distribution frame or its equivalent.
3.7.3 BellSouth will make all necessary network modifications including providing nondiscriminatory
access to operational support systems necessary for preordering,
ordering, provisioning, maintenance and repair, and billing for Loops used in a
Line Splitting arrangement. This support will be consistent with the support
provided to BellSouth and any of its affiliates providing advanced services on
Loops.
