Attachment 4-Central Office
Page 15
BellSouth denies collocation of TC SYSTEMS’s equipment, citing safety standards,
BellSouth must provide to TC SYSTEMS within five (5) business days of the denial a
list of all equipment that BellSouth locates at the premises in question, together with
an affidavit attesting that all of that equipment meets or exceeds the safety standard
that Bellsouth contends TC SYSTEMS’s equipment fails to meet. This affidavit must
set forth in detail: the exact safety requirement that TC SYSTEMS’s equipment does
not satisfy; BellSouth’s basis for concluding that TC SYSTEMS’s equipment does not
meet this safety requirement; and BellSouth’s basis for concluding why collocation of
equipment not meeting this safety requirement would compromise network safety.
5.5 TC SYSTEMS shall not request more DS0, DS1, DS3 and optical terminations for a
collocation arrangement than the total port or termination capacity of the equipment
physically installed in the arrangement. The total capacity of the equipment collocated
in the arrangement will include equipment contained in an application, as well as
equipment already placed in the collocation arrangement. If full network termination
capacity of the equipment being installed is not requested in the application, additional
network terminations for the installed equipment will require the submission of another
application. In the event TC SYSTEMS submits an application for terminations that
will exceed the total capacity of the collocated equipment, TC SYSTEMS will be
informed of the discrepancy by BellSouth and required to submit a revision to the
application.
5.6 Commencing with the most current calendar quarter after the effective date of this
Attachment, and thereafter with respect to each subsequent calendar quarter during
the term of this Attachment, TC SYSTEMS will, no later than thirty (30) days after
the close of such calendar quarter, provide a report to ICS Collocation Product
Management, Room 34A55, 675 W. Peachtree Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30375 listing
any equipment in the Collocation Space that was added during the calendar quarter for
which there is a UCC-1 lien holder or another entity that has a secured financial
interest in such equipment. This shall be defined as “Secured Equipment”. If no
Secured Equipment has been installed within a given calendar quarter, no report shall
be due hereunder in connection with such calendar quarter.
5.7 TC SYSTEMS shall not use the Collocation Space for marketing purposes, nor shall it
place any identifying signs or markings outside the Collocation Space or on the
grounds of the BellSouth Premises.
5.8 TC SYSTEMS shall place a plaque or affix other identification (e.g., stenciling) to TC
SYSTEMS’s equipment, including the appropriate emergency contacts with their
corresponding telephone numbers, in order for BellSouth to properly identify TC
SYSTEMS’s equipment in the case of an emergency.
5.9 Entrance Facilities. TC SYSTEMS may elect to place TC SYSTEMS-owned or TC
SYSTEMS-leased fiber entrance facilities into its Collocation Space. BellSouth will
designate the point of interconnection in close proximity to the BellSouth Premises
building housing the Collocation Space, such as at an entrance manhole or a cable
