1.13.4.3 If OTI reports a trouble on a BellSouth Network Element and no trouble is found
in BellSouth’s network, BellSouth will charge OTI a Maintenance of Service
Charge for any dispatching and testing (both inside and outside the CO) required
by BellSouth in order to confirm the Network Element’s working status.
BellSouth will assess the applicable Maintenance of Service rates from BellSouth’s
FCC No.1 Tariff, Section 13.3.1.
1.13.4.4 In the event BellSouth must dispatch to the End User’s location more than once
due to incorrect or incomplete information provided by OTI (e.g., incomplete
address, incorrect contact name/number, etc.), BellSouth will bill OTI for each
additional dispatch required to repair the Network Element due to the
incorrect/incomplete information provided. BellSouth will assess the applicable
Maintenance of Service rates from BellSouth’s FCC No.1 Tariff, Section 13.3.1.
2 Loops
2.1 General. The local loop Network Element is defined as a transmission facility that
BellSouth provides pursuant to this Attachment between a distribution frame (or
its equivalent) in BellSouth’s central office and the loop demarcation point at an
End User premises (Loop). Facilities that do not terminate at a demarcation point
at an End User premises, including, by way of example, but not limited to, facilities
that terminate to another carrier’s switch or premises, a cell site, Mobile Switching
Center or base station, do not constitute local Loops. The Loop Network Element
includes all features, functions, and capabilities of the transmission facilities,
including the network interface device, and attached electronics (except those used
for the provision of advanced services, such as Digital Subscriber Line Access
Multiplexers (DSLAMs)), optronics and intermediate devices (including repeaters
and load coils) used to establish the transmission path to the End User’s premises,
including inside wire owned or controlled by BellSouth. OTI shall purchase the
entire bandwidth of the Loop and, except as required herein or as otherwise agreed
to by the Parties, BellSouth shall not subdivide the frequency of the Loop.
2.1.1 The Loop does not include any packet switched features, functions or capabilities.
2.1.2 Fiber to the Home (FTTH) loops are local loops consisting entirely of fiber optic
cable, whether dark or lit, serving an End User’s premises or, in the case of
predominantly residential multiple dwelling units (MDUs), a fiber optic cable,
whether dark or lit, that extends to the MDU minimum point of entry (MPOE).
Fiber to the Curb (FTTC) loops are local loops consisting of fiber optic cable
connecting to a copper distribution plant that is not more than five hundred (500)
feet from the End User’s premises or, in the case of predominantly residential
MDUs, not more than five hundred (500) feet from the MDU’s MPOE. The fiber
optic cable in a FTTC loop must connect to a copper distribution plant at a serving
area interface from which every other copper distribution subloop also is not more
than five hundred (500) feet from the respective End User’s premises.
