6.5 At a minimum, BellSouth’s space assignment policies and practices must meet the
following principles: BellSouth’s space assignment policies and practices must not
materially increase TC SYSTEMS’s collocation costs; must not materially delay TC
SYSTEMS’s occupation and use of BellSouth’s Premises; must not assign physical
collocation space that will impair the quality of service or impose other limitations on
the service TC SYSTEMS wishes to offer; and must not reduce unreasonably the total
space available for physical collocation or preclude unreasonably physical collocation
within BellSouth’s Premises.
6.6 Space Availability Notification.
6.6.1 BellSouth will respond to an application within ten (10) calendar days as to whether
space is available or not available within the requested BellSouth Premises. BellSouth
will also respond as to whether the application is Bona Fide and if it is not Bona Fide,
the items/revisions necessary to cause the application to become Bona Fide. If the
amount of space requested is not available, BellSouth will notify TC SYSTEMS of the
amount of space that is available and no application fee will apply. If no or inadequate
physical space is available, BellSouth will inform TC SYSTEMS whether there is
virtual collocation space available. If there is no physical or virtual collocation space
available, BellSouth will inform TC SYSTEMS, upon request, whether adjacent
collocation space is available. Given the complexity of issues associated with adjacent
collocation, the parties will negotiate a reasonable time for BellSouth to respond
regarding adjacent collocation. When BellSouth’s response includes an amount of
space less than that requested by TC SYSTEMS or space that is configured
differently, no application fee will apply. If TC SYSTEMS decides to accept the
available space, TC SYSTEMS must resubmit its application to reflect the actual
space available, including the configuration of the space, prior to submitting a BFFO.
When TC SYSTEMS resubmits its application to accept the available space, BellSouth
will bill TC SYSTEMS the appropriate application fee.
6.6.2 Denial of Application. If BellSouth notifies TC SYSTEMS that no space is available
(Denial of Application), BellSouth will not assess an application fee to TC SYSTEMS.
After notifying TC SYSTEMS that there is no available space in the requested
BellSouth Premises, BellSouth will allow TC SYSTEMS, upon request, to tour the
entire BellSouth Premises within ten (10) calendar days of such Denial of Application.
In order to schedule this tour within ten (10) calendar days, BellSouth must receive
the request for a tour of the BellSouth Premises within five (5) calendar days of the
Denial of the Application. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may agree to
conduct a tour within thirty (30) calendar days of the Denial of Application.
6.7 Filing of Petition for Waiver. Upon Denial of Application, BellSouth will timely file a
petition with the appropriate Commission pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 251(c)(6).
BellSouth shall provide to the Commission any information requested by that
Commission. Such information shall include which space, if any, BellSouth or any of
BellSouth’s affiliates have reserved for future use and a detailed description of the
CCCS 252 of 433
