technically feasible and will not undermine the ability of other carriers to obtain
access to unbundled Network Elements or to interconnect with BellSouth’s
network.
4.1.3 Attachment 2 of this Agreement describes the Network Elements that TC
SYSTEMS and BellSouth have identified as of the Effective Date of this
Agreement and are not exclusive. Either Party may identify additional or revised
Network Elements as necessary to improve services to end users, to improve
network or service efficiencies or to accommodate changing technologies, or end
user demand. Upon BellSouth’s offering of a new or revised Network Element,
BellSouth shall notify TC SYSTEMS of the existence of and the technical
characteristics of the new or revised Network Element. Upon TC SYSTEMS’s
identification of a new or revised Network Element, it shall make a request for the
Network Element pursuant to Attachment 10 of this Agreement, incorporated
herein by this reference.
4.2 Enhanced Extended Links (EELs)
4.2.1 EELs are combinations of unbundled Loops and unbundled dedicated transport as
defined in this Attachment, together with any facilities, equipment, or functions
necessary to combine those Network Elements. BellSouth shall provide TC
SYSTEMS with non-discriminatory access to EELs where the underlying UNEs
are available and in all instances where the requesting carrier meets the eligibility
requirements, if applicable.
4.2.2 High-capacity EELs are combinations of Loop and transport UNEs or commingled
Loop and transport facilities at the DS1 and/or DS3 level as described in 47 CFR
51.318(b). High-capacity EELs must comply with the service eligibility
requirements set forth in 4.2.5 below.
4.2.3 By placing an order for a high-capacity EEL, TC SYSTEMS thereby certifies that
the service eligibility criteria set forth herein are met for access to a converted
high-capacity EEL, a new high-capacity EEL, or part of a high-capacity
commingled EEL as a UNE. BellSouth shall have the right to audit TC
SYSTEMS’s high-capacity EELs as specified below.
4.2.4 If a high-capacity EEL or Ordinarily Combined Network Element is not readily
available but can be made available through routine network modifications, as
defined by the FCC, TC SYSTEMS may request BellSouth to perform such
routine network modifications. The request may not be used to place fiber. Each
request will be handled as a project on an individual case basis. BellSouth will
provide a price quote for the request, and upon receipt of authorization by TC
SYSTEMS, BellSouth shall perform the routine network modifications.
