20021106Application (Part B).pdf

When a non-VERIZONentity provides operator Service to the VERIZON end
office from which the resale line is provisioned,SPRINT must contract with the
operator Services providerto get any EMR records which SPRINT requires.
4.2 Local Calling Detail.Except for those Services and in those areas where measured rate
local Service is available to Customers,monthly billing to SPRINT does not include local
calling detail.However,SPRINT may request and VERIZON shall consider developing
the capabilities to provide local calling detail in those areas where measuredlocal
Service is not available for a mutually agreeable charge.
4.3 LIDB.For resale Services,the LSR will generate updates to VERIZON's LIDB for
validation of calling card,collect,and third number billed calls.
4.4 Timing of Messages.With respect to VERIZON resold measured rate local Service(s),
chargeable time begins when a connection is established between the calling station and
the called station.Chargeable time ends when the calling station "hangs up,"thereby
releasing the network connection.If the called station "hangs up"but the calling station
does not,chargeable time ends when the network connection is released by automatic
timing equipment in the network.
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 73
APPENDIX A TO THE RESALE ATTACHMENT
SERVICESAVAILABLE FOR RESALE
General.The rates,terms,and conditions for Resale are set forth in VERIZON's Resale Tariff Schedule
Cal.P.U.C.No.K-5 and are subject to change resulting from future Commission or other proceedings,
including but not limited to any generic proceedingto determine VERIZON's unrecoveredcosts (e.g.,
historic costs,contribution,undepreciated reserve deficiency,or similar unrecoveredVERIZON costs
(including VERIZON's interim Universal Service Support Surcharge)),the establishmentof a
competitively neutral universal service system,or any appeal or other litigation.
Interim Universal Service Charge.It is VERIZON's position that VERIZON's current intraLATAtoll rates
include implicit subsidies that support below-cost prices for other services and thus promote universal
service.This universal service support is lost where a CLEC resells VERIZON's local service but does
not resell VERIZON's intraLATA toll service.For this reason,VERIZON contends it should not be
required to resell basic exchange residential or business services unless SPRINT pays the monthly
interim universal service support charge set forth in Appendix A.VERIZON believesthat this interim
surcharge is required by state and federal law.The lawfulness of VERIZON's interim surcharge is being
addressed (or will be addressed)by the Commission or a court of competent jurisdiction.The parties
agree that VERIZON will offer for resale basic exchange residential and business services at the avoided
cost discount rate set forth in Appendix A without the interim surcharge,but subject to the following terms
and conditions:
A.SPRINT agrees that,if an order by the Commission or a court of competentjurisdiction
affirming VERIZON's interim surcharge is issued during the term of this Agreement,
Sprint shall,within thirty (30)days after the effective date of such order (i)begin paying
the monthlý interim surcharge in accord with Appendix C,and (ii)make a lump sum
payment to VERIZON of the total interim surcharges retroactiveto the effective date of
this Agreement.VERIZON further expressly reserves its right to seek retroactivetrue-up
from Sprint of such interim surcharges under this Agreement in the event the
Commission or a court of competent jurisdiction issues an order affirming VERIZON's
interim surcharge after the e×piration of this Agreement.
B.Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement,VERIZON reserves the right to,at its
sole discretion and at any time,seek injunctive or other relief (i)requiringSPRINT to pay
VERIZON's interim surcharge or (ii)requiringthe Commission to immediatelyimpose the
interim surcharge.
C.Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or impair VERIZON from seeking injunctive relief
or any other remedy at any time and in any court regarding VERIZON's interim surcharge
or the Commission's rejection or modificationof VERIZON's interim surcharge.

2.Descriptionof Individual UNE Offerings.
VERIZON will provide SPRINT with the following UNEs pursuant to this Attachment:
2.1 Local Loops.
The local loop UNE is defined as the transmission facility (or channel or group of
channels on such facility)that extends from a Main Distribution Frame (MDF),or its
equivalent,in a VERIZON Central Office Switch or Wire Center up to and including the
loop "demarcation point",including inside wire owned by VERIZON.The loop
251/252 FINALAGREEMENT 75
demarcation point is that point on the loop facility where V .,ip are
control end and the subscriber's ownership and control be .,Dopa are
provisioned as 2-wire or 4-wire coppct pairs,analog voice-g ade 6 ,
upon Sprints
request,loops conditioned to transmit digital signals,such as xDCL,runniñgfrom the
Central Office Switch MDF to the denarcation point at the end usert premises.
However,a loop may be provided vit other means,including,but not limited to,radio
frequencies,as a channel on a high-capacityfeederldistribution facilin which may,in
turn,be distributed from a node location to the subscriber's promises vie a copper or
coaxial drop or other facility.The loop includes all featurée,functions ar;d capabilitics of
such transmission facilities,including attached Electronics (exce those electronics used
for the provision of advanced services,such as digital subscribe:line access multiplexers
("DSLAMs"))and line conditioning.VERIZON does not guarantee data modem speeds
on either 2 or 4 wire analog loops.In addition,VERIZON does not guarantee CLASS
features will perform properly on either 2 or 4 wire analog loop provisioned over
subscriber analog carrier.Any required UNE loops will be provisionec'and maintained by
VERIZON consistent with Telcordia Technologies standard NC/NCI codes outlined in
Telcordia Technologies practice BR 795-403-100.The types of unbundled loops made
available to SPRINT under this Attachment are:
2.1.1 "2-Wire Analog Loop"is a voice grade transmission facility that is suitable for
transporting analog voice signals between approximately 300-3000 Hz,with loss
not to exceed 8.5 db.A 2-wire analog loop may include load coils,bridged taps,
etc.This facility also may include carrier derived facility components (i.e.,pair
gain applications,loop concentrators/multiplexers).This type of unbundled loop
is commonly used for local dial tone services.
2.1.2 "4-Wire Analog Loop"conforms to the characteristics of a 2-wire voice grade loop
and,in addition,can support simultaneous independent transmission in both
directions.
2.1.3 ISDN-BRI Capable Loop is capable of transmitting digital signals up to 160 kbps
with no greater line loss than 36 db end-to-end measured at 40 kHz.When the
loop length extends beyond the limitations of basic ISDN-BRIservice line loss
levels will be provisioned at no greater than 76 db at 40 kHz.Dependent upon
facility make-up it may be necessary to add ISDN-BRI Line Loop Extension to
bring the line loss levelwithin acceptable levels.ISDN-BRI Line Loop Extension
equipment can be added by VERIZON if requested by the CLEC at an additional
cost beyondthose of the unbundled loop element itself.
2.1.4 A 2-wire ADSL Capable Loop must be provisioned over copper facilities and will
contain no load coils and minimum allowable bridged tap.Additional loop
conditioningcharges shall apply for the removalof the aforementionedtypes of

2.1.5 Other xDSL technologies:As the industry accepts other power spectral density
mask's,e.g.,T1 418-2000,VERIZON will support additional types of xDSL
technologies and/or services which may be provided on unbundled network
elements contained in this agreement.SPRINT may order the unbundled
elements as a result of this agreement and use the additional xDSL technologies
without renegotiations,contract amendments,or use of the BFR process.
2.1.6 "4-Wire Digital Loop"is a transmission facility that is suitable for the transport of
digital signals at rates up to 1 544 Mbps.4-wire digital loops are only provisionee
on copper facilities.When a 4-wire digital loop is used by SPRINT to provision
HDSL technology,the insertion loss,measured between 100W termination at
251/252 FINALAGREEMENT 76
200 kHz,in which case loss should be less than 34 db.The DC resistance of a
single wire pair should not exceed 1100 ohms.
2.1.7 "DS-1 Loops"will support a digital transmission rate of 1.544 Mbps.The DS-1
loop will have no bridged taps or load coils and will employ special line treatment.
DS-1 loops will include midspan line repeaters where required,office tenninating
repeaters,and DSX cross connects.A DS-1 Digital Grade Loop is capableof
operating in a full duplex,time division (digital)multiplexing mode.A DS-1 Digital
Grade Loop provides transmission capacity equivalentto 24 voice grade
channels with associated signaling,twenty-four 56 Kbps digital channels when in
band signaling is provided,or twenty-four 64 Kbps channels with the selection of
the Clear Channel signaling option.
2.1.8 "DS-3 Loops"will support the transmission of isochronous bipolar serial data at a
rate of 44.736 Mbps.The DS-3 loop provides the equivalentof 28 DS-1
channels and shall include the electronics at either end.
2.1.9 '"'Dark Fiber Loops"consist of any unused fiber strands that exist betweenthe
fiber splice tray,or its functional equivalent,located within the VERIZON Central
Office Switch,and the fiber splice tray or fiber patch panel located within a
Customer premise that has not been activated through connection to the
electronics that "light"it,and thereby render it capable of carrying
communications services.In addition to the other terms and conditionsof this
Attachment,the following terms and conditions also shall apply to Dark Fiber
Loops:
2.1.9.1 VERIZON shall be requiredto provide Dark Fiber Loop only where (1)
one end of the Dark Fiber Loop terminates at SPRINT's collocation point
of interfaceldemarcation/connection,and (2)the other end terminates at
the Customer premise.

in VERIZON's network to the extent required by the Commission's arbitration Order in Docket No.
A.00-09-031 ("UNE Combinations ruling").VERIZON's agreement above to offer any
combination of UNEs that are not already combined in its network is based upon the
Commission'sOrder in Docket No.A.00-09-031 and not upon a voluntary agreement by the
Parties.Thus,such agreement is not intended to,and shall in no manner whatsoever,establish
any precedent,waiver,course of dealing or in any way evidence VERIZON's position or intent in
the future regarding this matter.Furthermore,Verizon expressly reserves any and all of its rights
to challenge the Commission'sOrder in the aforementioned proceeding with respect to the UNE
Combinations ruling,including but limited to,on the grounds that such UNE Combinationsruling
is inconsistent with and unlawfulunder Applicable Law.VERIZON is currently not required under
Applicable Law to provide OS/DA as an UNE where VERIZON offers customized routing.
Nevertheless,VERIZON will continue to provide OS/DA based on market rates (see Appendix A
and Appendix A-1)until the Parties negotiate a separate OS/DA agreement.In the alternative,
SPRINT can obtain an alternativeprovider.In addition,SPRINT may not use any Combination
as a substitute for special access service pending the FCC's resolution of this issue in its Fourth
FNPRM in Docket No.96-98.SPRINT shall not have physical access to the cómbined UNEs in
VERIZON's premises.However,SPRINT may use Combinations to provide a "significant
amount"of local exchange service,as defined by FCC 00-183,CC Docket No.96-98 (released
June 2,2000),in addition to exchange access service,to a particular Customer.Subject to the
foregoing limitations and restrictions and the other terms and conditions herein,SPRINT may
order the following standard Combinations pursuant to this Attachment:
3.1 UNE Basic Analog Voice Grade Platform,which consists of:
3.1.1 UNE 2-Wire Loop;
3.1.2 UNE Basic Analog Line Side Port;and
3.1.3 UNE Shared Transport.
3.2 UNE ISDN BRI Platform,which consists of:
3.2.1 UNE 2-Wire Digital Loop;
3.2.2 UNE ISDN BRI Digital Line Side Port;and
3.2.3 UNE Shared Transport.
3.3 UNE ISDN PRI Platform,which consists of:
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 83
3.3.1 UE i i ;
3.3.2 UiK ISor a Dignal i runk Side Port;and
3.3.3 UNE Shared i renspon.
3.4 UNE DS-1 Plationn,v:Mal coac tE of:
3.4.1 UNE DS-1 Loop;
3.4.2 UNE DS-1 Digital Trunk Side Port;and
3.4.3 UNE Shared Transport.
3.5 Enhanced Extended Loop (EEL),which consists of:
3.5.1 UNE Loop;
3.5.2 UNE Multiplexing (3/1 or 1/0,as required);and
3.5.3 UNE Dedicated Transport.
Advanced services,including but not limited to the following are not offered in Combination
arrangements:(a)Frame Relay;(b)ATM;(c)ADSL;and (d)AIN.
4.Operations Matters.
4.1 Ordering.
4.1.1 General.The ordering procedures for UNEs and Combination's are described in
the GTE Guide found on VERIZON's wise website http://www.gte.com/wise).
The GTE Guide provides a list of NC/NCI codes which identifies the electrical
characteristics of loops which meet each NC/NCI code combination.VERIZON
will use existing Telcordia Technologies practices to determine loop service and
design characteristics.If Sprint requires a loop with electrical characteristics not
defined in existing Telcordia Technologies practices,Sprint may issue a BFR.
VERIZON will continue to participate in industry forums for developing service
order/disconnect order formats and will incorporate appropriate industry
standards.Complete and accurate forms (containing the requisite Customer
information as described in the Guide)must be provided by SPRINT before a
request can be processed.ASRs and/or LSRs submitted by SPRINTwill be
reviewed by VERIZON for validation and correction of errors.Errors will be
referred back to SPRINT.SPRINT will then correct any errors that VERIZON
has identified and resubmit the request to VERIZON via the same transmittal
process in which the original ASR/LSR was submitted (electronicallyor FAX)
through a supplemental ASR/LSR.Pre-ordering does not guaranteethe
availabilityof a given UNE or Combination.Rather,VERIZON must receive a
firm order after the pre-order to ensure SPRINT's access to the UNE or
Combination ordered.
4.1.1.1 911 Updates.VERIZON will be responsible for updates to the applicable
911/E911 database at parity with retail ordering processes when Spnnt
orders UNE-P comprised of loop and port elements.Such responsibility
is e×pectedto begin in the fourth quarter,2000.In no case will such
responsibility not begin by the end of the first quarter 2001.
251/252 FINALAGREEMENT 84
4.1.2 Dark Fiber.SPRINT shall ordfr Darl i iba Sw rss.i,i Ein:Loop and Dark
Fiber Subloop UNEs by sending to VbillZON sa :AE:\.When ordering dark
fiber,SPRINT must order in pairs and et a Tr,inimum of te:c dark fiber strands per
A to Z route unless SPRINT deplays DWOM,then individua!fibers may be
ordered.Each A to Z route request shall be made by separate ASR.An ASR
Service Inquiry must be submitted in advance of a film order to determinethe
availability of dark fiber on a specific route.
4.2 Unauthorized Changes.
If SPRINT submits an order for UNEs or Combinations under this Agreement in order to
provide service to a Customer that at the time the order is submitted is obtaining its local
services from VERIZON or another LEC using VERIZON resold services or unbundled
elements,and the Customer notifies VERIZON that the Customer did not authorize
SPRINT to provide local exchange services to the Customer,SPRINT must provide
VERIZON with written documentation of authorization from that Customer within thirty
(30)Business Days of notification by VERIZON.If SPRINT cannot providewritten
documentation of authorization within such time frame,SPRINT must within three (3)
Business Days thereafter:
4.2.1 notify VERIZON to change the Customer back to the LEC providing service to
the Customer before the change to SPRINT was made;
4.2.2 provide any Customer information and billing records SPRINT has obtained
relating to the Customer to the LEC previously serving the Customer;and
4.2.3 notify the Customer and VERIZON that the change back to the previous LEC has
been made.
Furthermore,VERIZON will bill SPRINTfifty dollars ($50.00)per affected line to
compensateVERIZON for switching the Customer back to the original LEC.
4.3 Letter of Authorization.
VERIZON will not release the Customer service record (CSR)containing Customer
proprietary network information (CPNI)to SPRINT on VERIZON Customer accounts
unless SPRINT first provides to VERIZON a written Letter of Authorization (LOA).Such
LOA may be a blanket LOA or other form agreed upon between VERIZON and SPRINT
authorizing the release of such information to SPRINT or if state or federal law provides
othenvise,in accordance with such law.A LOA will be required before VERIZON will
process an order for UNEs or Combinations provided in cases in which the subscriber
currently receives local exchange or ExchangeAccess service from VERIZON or from a
local service provider other than SPRINT.Such LOA may be a blanket LOA or such
other form as agreed upon between VERIZON and SPRINT.
4.4 Provisioning.
VERIZON agrees to provide UNEs and UNE-Ps in a timely manner,in accordancewith
Article 1,Section 3.6 (OSS Performance Measures),considering the need and volume of
requests,pursuant to agreed upon service provisioning intervals.VERIZON shall provide
power to ordered UNEs and UNE-Ps on the same basis as VERIZON provides power to
itself.UNEs and UNE-Ps will be provided only when facilities are CurrentlyAvailable if
facilities are not Currently Available,Sprint will be notified and the order will be rejected
For loop orders,if VERIZON has planned an installation of facilitiesto augmentthe
exhausted facilities,that date will be provided to Sprint on the jeopardy report from the
251/252 FINALAGREEMENT 85
VEREZON ordering center (NOMC).Upon installation of VER!7ON facilitics,those
facilities will be made available to Sprint on a first come,first served basis.The
determination of whether or not facilities are Currently Available will be made on a case-
by-case basis.Sprint may use the Bona Fide Recuest (BFR)process to request
VERIZON to construct facilities at Sprint's expense.VERIZON will use the following
guidelines to determine if facilities are Currently Available to provision a requested UNE
or UNE-P.
4.4.1 VERIZON is not requiredto build new interoffice facilities or outside plant feeder
or distribution facilities.
4.4.2 VERIZON will not breach existing interoffice facilities,outside plant feeder or
distribution facilities or Central Office Switch cabling or wiring to install new
electronics or housing for plug-in electronic cards or modules.A facility is
considered breached when the wire or fiber within the cable must be accessed at
a point other than an access terminal.VERIZON will install new plug-in cards or
moduleswhen the housing already exists and is wired into the network.
4.4.3 In most circumstances,VERIZON will install drops and NIDs to connect outside
plant facilities to a Customer's premises to provide a UNE loop.VERIZONwill
use the same procedures it uses to determine when a drop would routinely be
installed for a VERIZON Customer,or to determine if a drop will be installed for a
UNE loop.Drops will not be installed when conditions such as excessive length,
size of cable or use of fiber optics would require VERIZON outside plant
construction.
4.4.4 VERIZON will not install new switches or augment switching capacity.
4.4.5 VERIZON will not install new software or activate software requiring a new right
to use fee in switching equipment.VERIZON will activate software that is
currently loaded in a switch but is not in use.
4.4.6 In certain situations,VERIZON utilizes pair gain technology,such as Integrated
Digital Loop Carrier (IDLC)2OF 808109 C8tfÍSF,lO provision facilities.VERIZON
may not be able to provisiona loop UNE in such cases.Where VERIZON can
provision a Local Loop UNE using such technologies,the capabilities of such
Local Loop UNE may be limited.If SPRINT orders a loop UNE that would
normally be provisioned over facilities using such technology,VERIZON will use
alternate facilities to provision the loop UNE if alternate facilities are Currently
Available,and the alternate facilities meet Sprints technical requirements.If
alternate facilities are not Currently Available,VERIZON will advise SPRINT that
facilities are not available to provision the requested loop UNE.
When VERIZON utilizes pair gain technology to provisionfacilities and Sprint
orders all loops provisioned by the specific pair gain device,VERIZON will
consider,pursuant to the BFR process contained in Section 4.5,a request by
Sprint for VERIZON to connect Sprint interoffice facilities to the VERIZON pair
gain device.
4.5 Connections.
4.5.1 General.With the exception of the Shared Transport UNE,the UNEs specified
2 See Telcordia Technologies TR-TSY-000008,Digital Interface Between the SLC-96 Digital Loop Carrier System and
Local Digital Switch and TR-TSY-000303,Integrated Digital Loop Carrier (IDLC)Requirements,Objectives and Interface.
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 86
above may be directly connected to SPhlin facilities er to a third-party's facilities
designated by SPRINT to the extent technically feasible.Direct access to loops,
subloop,port and local switching,and dedicated transport,that terminates in a
VERIZON premise,must be accomplished via a collocation arrangement in that
premise.In circumstances where collocationcannot be accomplished in the
premises,the Partics agree to negotiate for possible alternative arrangements.
Removalof existing cable pairs required for SPRINTío connect service is the
responsibilityof SPRINT.
4.5.2 NID.In order to minimize adverse effects to VERIZON's network,the following
cedures shall apply regarding NID connection:
4.5.2.1 When connecting its own loop facility directly to VERIZON's NID for a
residence or business Customer,SPRINT must make a clean cut on the
VERIZON drop wire at the NID so that no bare wire is exposed.SPRINT
shall not remove or disconnect VERIZON's drop wire from the NID or
take any other action that might cause VERIZON's drop wire to be left
lying on the ground.
4.5.2.2 At multi-tenant Customer locations,SPRINT must remove the jumper
wire from the distribution block (i.e.,the NID)to the VERIZON cable
termination block.If SPRINT cannot gain access to the cable
termination block,SPRINT must make a clean cut at the closest point to
the cable termination block.At SPRINT's request and discretion,
VERIZON will determine the cable pair to be removed at the NID in multi-
tenant locations.SPRINT will compensate VERIZON for the trip charge
necessary to identify the cable pair to be removed.
4.5.2.3 VERIZON loop elements leased by SPRINT will be required to terminate
only on a VERIZON NID.If SPRINT leasing a VERIZON loop wants to
connect such loop to a SPRINT NID,SPRINT also will be required to
lease a VERIZON NID (included in the loop rate)for the direct loop
termination and effect a NID-to-NID cross connection.
4.5.2.4 Rather than connecting its own loop directly to VERIZON's NID,SPRINT
also may elect to install its own NID and effect a NID-to-NIDcross
connection to gain access to the Customer's inside wiring.
4.5.2.5 If SPRINT provides its own loop facilities,SPRINT may elect to move all
inside wire terminated on a VERIZON NID to one provided by SPRINT.
In this instance,a NID-to-NID cross connection will not be required.
SPRINT,or the Customer's premise owner,can elect to leave the
disconnected VERIZON NID in place,or to remove the VERIZON NID
from the premises and dispose of it entirely.
4.5.2.6 VERIZON agrees to offer its NIDs to SPRINT for lease,but not for sale
Therefore,SPRINT may remove VERIZON identification from any
VERIZON NID to which it connects a SPRINT loop,but SPRINT shall not
place its own identification on such NID.
4.5.2.7 VERIZON shall have the right to deny any access by SPRINT to
VERIZON's NID when SPRINT provides its own loop.
4.5.3 Dark Fiber Transport.SPRINT must have a collocation arrangement on each
side of the transmission for SPRINT to gain access to Dark Fiber Interoffice
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 87
Transport.VERIZON will termiriate each end of the Doi:Fiber interoffice
Transport at a fiber patch panel that has boen con::ccied to SPRINT's collocation
arrangement via optical cross-connects.In addition,SPRINT must be collocated
at any intermediate central office points where it plans ort placing regenerative
equipment.
4.5.4 Subloops.To gain access to a Feedor Subloop UNE,SPRIWT must be
collocated (subject to the terms and conditions of the CollocationAttachment
and/or applicable VERIZON tariff)within the VERIZON Central Oflice Switch
where the Feeder Subloop UNE is being requested.SPRINT must also be
collocated at either a DLC or VERIZON cross-connect box where the Feeder
Subloop UNE terminates.
4.5.4.1 To gain access to a distribution Subloop UNE,SPRINT must be
collocated at either a DLC or cross-connect box that scrves the
Customer's address.Upon request,VERIZON will provide a range of
addresses served by DLC.A non-recurring charge will be assessed for
processing each request.
4.5.4.2 To gain access to a Drop Subloop UNE,SPRINT must be collocated at
the terminal,such as a pole or pedestal,that serves the Customer's
address.
4.6 Line Conditioning.
4.6.1 General For the charge(s)described on Appendix A and Appendi×A-1,SPRINT
may order conditioning of those lines that are unbundled pursuant to this
Attachment to remove load coils,bridged taps,low pass filters,range extenders
and other devices to allow such lines to be provisioned in a manner that will allow
for the transmission of digital signals required for ISDN and xDSL services,or,in
the case of analog lines,to meet specific transmission parameters.Dedicated
transport may be conditioned for DS-1 clear channel capability
4.7 Performance,Repair,Testing and Maintenance.
4.7.1 General.Upon SPRINT's request,and for the charge(s)described on Appendix
A and Appendix A-1,VERIZON will test and report trouble for all features,
functions,and capabilities of conditioned lines,subject to all of the following
limitations and conditions:
4.7.1.1 Such testing must be technically feasible.
4.7.1.2 If SPRINT has directly connected its facilities to a loop,VERIZON will not
perform routine testing of the loop for maintenance purposes.SPRINT
will be required to perform its own testing and notify VERIZON of service
problems.VERIZON will perform repair and maintenance once trouble is
identified by SPRINT.If the loop is combined with dedicated transport,
SPRINT will not have access to the loop in the Wire Center.In this case
VERIZON will perform routine testing of the loop and perform repair and
maintenance once trouble is identified.
4.7.1.3 All loop facilities provided by VERIZON on the premises of SPRINT's
Customers,up to the network interface or demarcation point,are the
property of VERIZON.VERIZON must have access to all such facilities
for network management purposes.VERIZON employees and agents
251/252 FINALAGREEMENT 88
may enter said premises at any reasonable hour to test and inspect such
facilities in conjunction with such purposesor,upon terminationor
cancellation of the loop,to remove such facility.
4.7.1.4 If SPRINT leases loops that are conditioned to transrnitdigital signals,as
part of that conditioning,VERIZON will test the loop UNE and provide
recorded test results to SPRINT.In maintenanceand repair cases,if
loop tests are performed,VERIZON will provide any recorded readings
to SPRINT at the time the trouble ticket is closed in the same manner as
VERIZON provides the same to itself and/or its Customers
4.7.1.5 When SPRINT provides its own loop and connects directly to
VERIZON's NID,VERIZON does not have the capability to perform
routine maintenance.SPRINT can perform routine maintenancevia its
loop and inform VERIZON once the trouble has been isolated to the
VERIZON NID and VERIZON will repair (or replace)the NID,or,at
SPRINT's option,effect a NID-to-NID cross connection,using the
VERIZON NID only to gain access to the inside wire at the Customer
location.
4.7.1.6 Repair of any UNE loop will consist of bringingthe loop to the standards
identified by the NC/NCl codes provided on the original LSR.The
NC/NCI codes will be translated into the standard special services ID
code,which provides the VERIZON technician specificationsof the
service level required of the UNE loop.
4.7.2 Coordinated Testing.At Sprint's request,upon issuance of the LSR,and as
specified therein,VERIZON will conduct coordinated testing of unbundled loops
with SPRINT upon completion of the installation.The VERIZON technician will
work with the SPRINT center to test the newly installed loop,which may include
the placing and removing of shorts to allow SPRINT to test the line.VERIZON
will contact SPRINT when the loop order is completed by calling the toll free
(e.g.,800/888)telephone number specified on the order.It is agreed that after
calling the SPRINT 800/888 telephone numberthe VERIZON technician will not
remain on hold for longer than five minutes,and the VERIZON technician will not
be required to spend more than 15 minutes performingcooperative testing on
any single loop.Once Sprint determines that the loop meets the technical
requirements for an unbundled loop,Sprintwill provideVERIZON with a
confirmation number and VERIZON will complete the order.VERIZON will
perform repair and maintenance on trouble identified to be in VERIZON's
network.
VERIZON will not perform routine testing of the unbundled loop for maintenance
purposes.Sprint will be required to provision a loop testing device either in its
central office (switch location),Operations Center,or in its collocation
arrangement to test the unbundled loop.
4.8 Subloops.
SPRINT is responsible for all engineering requirementswhen provisioningservice to an
end user via Subloop UNEs.VERIZON does not guarantee,nor is it responsiblefor the
end-to-end performance of the entire loop when VERIZON providesonly a portion of the
loop.Furthermore,VERIZON is responsible for maintenanceon only the portion of the
loop element that VERIZON provides.VERIZON will provide all Subloop UNEs to
SPRINT in the same manner as VERIZON provides such elements to itself per existing
VERIZON interface specifications.maintenance and administrative policies.
251/252 FINALAGREEMENT 89
4.9 Loop Interference.
Sprint will deploy xDSL equipment that operates under the Power Spectral Density (PSD)
mask defined by ANSI T1 standards.
If SPRINT's deployment of service enhancing technology interferes with existing or
planned service enhancing technologies deployed by VERIZON or other CLECs in the
same cable sheath,VERIZON will so notify SPRINT and SPRINT will immediately
remove such interfering technology and shall reimburseVERIZON for all costs and
expenses incurred related to this interference.
VERIZON will implement spectrum management practices that provide methods to
resolve service degradation caused by disturbers on nearby loop pairs when there are
industry standards adopted for spectrum management.Methods may include forms of
binder management designed to protect services from the effects of known disturbers.
5.Financial Matters.
5.1 Rates and Charges.
The monthly recurring charges (MRCs)and non-recurringcharges (NRCs)applicable for
the UNEs and Combinations,and related services made available under this Attachment
are set forth in Appendix A and Appendix A-1 attached hereto and made a part of this
Attachment.Compensation arrangements for the exchange of switched traffic between
SPRINT and VERIZON when SPRINT uses a VERIZON port,local switching and shared
transport shall be as set forth in Appendix B.
5.2 Billing.
VERIZON will utilize CBSS to produce the required bills for UNEs ordered via the LSR
process.This includes NIDs,subloops,loops,loops combined with port,ports and local
switching,shared transport,and line sharing.State or sub-state level billing will include
up to thirty (30)summary bill accounts.Timing of messages applicable to VERIZON's
port and circuit switching UNEs (usage sensitive services)will be recorded based on
originating and terminating access.VERIZON will utilize CABS to producethe required
bills for UNEs and Combinations ordered via the ASR process.This includes dark fiber,
dedicated transport and loops combined with dedicated transport.
5.2.1 Incollects.Incollects are calls that are placed using the services of VERIZON or
another LEC or local service provider and billed to a UNE port,INP number,or
LNP number of SPRINT.Examples of an incollect are collect and credit card
calls.VERIZON will provide the rated record it receives from the CMDS network
or which VERIZON records (non-intercompany),to SPRINT for billing to
SPRINT's Customers.VERIZON will settle with the earning company,and will
bill SPRINT the amount of each incollect record less the Billing &Collection
(B&C)fee for Customer billing of the incollects.The B&C credit associated with
SPRINT's incollect messages that are incurred by VERIZON will be billed to
SPRINT on the monthly statement.
5.2.2 Outcollects.Outcollects are calls that are placed using a SPRINT UNE port and
billed to a VERIZON line or the line of another LEC or local service provider.
Examples of an outcollect are collect and credit card calls.When the VERIZON
Central Office Switch from which the UNE port is served utilizes a VERIZON
operator services platform,VERIZON will provide to SPRINT the unrated
message detail that originates from a SPRINT resale service line or UNE port.
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 90
but which is billed to a telephone number other than the originating number (e.g.,
calling card,bill-to-third number,etc.).As the local service provider,SPRINTwill
be deemed the earning company and will be responsible for rating the message
at SPRINT's rates and for providing the billing message detail to the billing
company for Customer billing.SPRINT will pay to VERIZON charges as agreed
to for services purchased,and SPRINT will be compensated by the billing
company for the revenue due to SPRINT.When a non-VERIZON entity provides
operator services to the VERIZON Central Office Switch from which the resale
line or UNE port is provisioned,SPRINT must contract with the operator services
provider to obtain any EMI records required by SPRINT.
5.3 Measurement of Originating Usage.
VERIZON shall record usage data originating from SPRINT Customers that VERIZON
records with respect to its own retail Customers,using services order by SPRINT.On
UNE port accounts,VERIZON will provide usage in EMI format per existing file exchange
schedules.
5.4 Measurement of Terminating Usage.
Until such time as industry standards are implementedfor recordingand measuring
terminating local calls,the Parties agree to use factors to estimate terminating usage
based on originating usage.Where originating usage cannot be measured,the Parties
agree to use assumed minutes.The applicable factors and assumed minutes are set
forth in Appendix A.
5.5 SwitchedAccess Usage.
VERIZON will provide SPRINT switched access usage records (AURs)in EMI Category
11 format for those UNEs which contain this switched access usage component.
SPRINT agrees to follow applicable industry standards for the meet-point billing of
switched access usage as defined in MECAB.
6.Intellectual Property Matters.
The Parties acknowledge that the determination of whether intellectualproperty rights are
implicated by SPRINT's request to purchase a given UNE or Combination can vary greatly
depending upon the individual contract terms negotiated by the vendor and VERIZON.If co-
e×tensiveintellectual property rights are required for SPRINTto purchase such UNE or
Combination,VERIZON shall use its best efforts to assist SPRINT in acquiring such rights.Any
costs associated with acquiring such rights shall be allocated among SPRINT and all requesting
carriers,includingVERIZON,on a case-by-case basis.SPRINT shall abide by all reasonable
vendor requirements in connection with the determinationand procurement of such rights,
including,without limitation,confidentiality and privity of contract requirements.To the extent that
SPRINT intends to use an UNE or Combination in a manner that is different from how VERIZON
uses UNEs or Combinations in its network,SPRINT shall be solely responsible for obtaining this
right from the vendor.
7.Line Splitting
CLECs may provide integrated voice and data services over the same Loop by engaging in "line
splitting"as set forth in paragraph 18 of the FCC's Line Sharing Reconsideration Order (CC
Docket Nos.98-147,96-98),released January 19,2001.Any line splitting between two CLECs
shall be accomplished by prior negotiated arrangement between those CLECs.To achieve a line
splitting capability,CLECs may utilize existing supporting OSS to order and combine in a line
251/252 FINALAGREEMENT 91
splitting configuretion an unbundledxDSL capable Loop terminated to a collocated splitter and
DSLAM equipment provided by a participating CLEC,unbundled switching combined with shared
transport,collocator-to-collocatorconnections,and available cross-connects,under the terms and
conditions set forth in their InterconnectionAgreement(s).The participatingCLECs shall provide
any splitters used in a line splitting configuration.CLECs seeking to migrateexisting UNE
platform configurations to a line splitting configuration using the same unbundled elements
utilizmd in the pre-existing platform arrangement may do so consistent with such implementation
schedules,terms,conditions and guidelines as are agreed upon for such migrations in the
onooing DSL Collaborative in the State of New York,NY PSC Case 00-C-0127,allowingfor local
jurisdictional and OSS differences.
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 92
Ui Di,1DLFD NETVVORK ELEMENTS ATTACHMENT
f i OFAJWEUNDLEDNETWORK ELEMENTS
General.The rates conteined in this Appendix A are the rates as defined in the UNE Attachment and are
subject to change resulting from future Commission or other proceedings,including but not limited to any
generic proceeding to determine VERIZON's unrecovered costs (e.g.,historic costs,contribution,
undepreciated reseive deficiency,or similar unrecovered VERIZON costs (includingVERIZON's interim
Selvice Support Surcharge)),the establishment of a competitively neutral universal service system,or
any appeal or other litigation.VERIZON will offer unbundled loops and ports under the following
conditions:
Interim Universa!Service Support Charge.It is VERIZON's position that VERIZON's current intraLATA
toll rates includo implicit subsidies that support below-cost prices for other services and thus promote
universal service.Thit universal service support is lost where a CLEC resells VERIZON's local service
but does not resell VERI70N's intraLATA toll service.For this reason,VERIZON contends it should not
be required to resell basic exchange residential or business services unless SPRINT pays the monthly
interim universal service support charge set forth in Appendix A.VERIZON believes that this interim
surcharge is required by state and federal law.The lawfulness of VERIZON's interim surcharge is being
addressed (or will be addressed)by the Commission or a court of competentjurisdiction.The parties
agree that VERIZON will offer for resale basic exchange residential and business services at the avoided
cost discount rate set forth in Appendix A without the interim surcharge,but subject to the following terms
and conditions:
A.SPRINT agrees that,if an order by the Commission or a court of compententjurisdiction
affirming VERIZON's interim surcharge is issued during the term of this Agreement,
Sprint shall,within thirty (30)days after the effective date of such order (i)begin paying
the monthlý interim surcharge in accord with Appendix C,and (ii)make a lump sum
payment to VERIZON of the total interim surcharges retroactiveto the effective date of
this Agreement.VERIZON further expressly reserves its right to seek retroactive true-up
from Sprint of such interim surcharges under this Agreement in the event the
Commission or a court of competent jurisdiction issues an order affirmingVERIZON's
interim surcharge after the expiration of this Agreement.
B.Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement,VERIZON reserves the right to,at its
sole discretion and at any time,seek injunctive or other relief (i)requiring SPRINT to pay
VERIZON's interim surcharge or (ii)requiring the Commission to immediately impose the
interim surcharge.
C.Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or impairVERIZON from seeking injunctive relief
or any other remedy at any time and in any court regarding VERIZON's interim surcharge
or the Commission's rejection or modification of VERIZON's interim surcharge.

251/252 FINALAGREEMENT 113
APPENDIX C TO THE UNBUNDLED NETWORK ELEMENTS ATTACHMENT
LINESHARING
1.General.
1.1 Description of Service.The Administrative Law Judge's Ruling on Line Sharing issued
on May 26,2000 in Rulemaking 93-04-003 and Investigation 93-04-002 (the "ALJ
Ruling")required VERIZON (then known as "GTE")to make the Line Sharing UNE
service offering under the terms and conditions set forth in this Appendix C.For
purposes of this Agreement,line sharing is access to the high frequency portion of the
loop network element,which is defined as the frequency range above the voiceband on a
copper loop facility that is being used by VERIZON to carry analog circuit-switched
voiceband transmissions.VERIZON shall provide line sharing to the SPRINT on a
nondiscriminatory basis for use only in the provision of telecommunications service in
accordance with,and subject to,the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
Applicable Law.
1.2 Basic Requirements.The following requirements shall serve as conditions to VERIZON's
obligation to provide line sharing hereunder:
1.2.1 Line sharing will be permitted for any ADSL or voice compatible xDSL ("DSL")
technologies that do not significantly degrade other advanced services or
traditional voice band services,including without limitation Asymmetric Digital
Subscriber Line ("ADSL"),Rate-AdaptiveADSL,and Multiple Virtual Lines.As
additionaltechnologies that may be compatible with existing services on a loop
become available,the parties will address their possible deployment,consistent
with the requirements of FCC Rules 51.230,51.233 and paragraphs201-205 of
the Line Sharing Order.The DSL technology used by SPRINTwill be within the
PSD mask parameters set forth in T1.413 or other applicable industry standards.
1.2.2 VERIZON provides retail analog circuit switched voice band service ("Voice
Service")on the loop to the same end-user for which SPRf NT provides the DSL
line sharing service.If VERIZON discontinues the provision of such Voice
Service for any permissible reason not prohibited by Applicable Law,VERIZON
shall provide notice to SPRINT via e-mail that the Voice Service will be
discontinued.Within three (3)business days after such notice,SPRINT may
notify VERIZON via e-mail that it desires to:(i)discontinue the end-user's line
sharing DSL service;or (ii)continue providing DSL service to the end-user over
an unbundled loop without line sharing.If SPRINT fails to make an affirmative
election during said three (3)business day period,option (ii)shall be
implemented.If option (ii)is implemented,the Parties shall cooperateto
transition the continuation without interruption (except for momentary
interruptionsas described in the ALJ Ruling)of such DSL service without line
sharing.
1.2.3 VERIZON shall be restricted from decommissioning a copper loop when to do so
unreasonably eliminates SPRINT's ability to offer,or to continue to provide,xOSL
service.For existing end-users with line sharing DSL service,VERIZON shall
provide no less than three (3)business days notice to SPRINTvia e-mail that it
intends to decommission the line shared copper loop.During such three (3)
business day period,SPRINT shall notify VERIZON via e-mail that it desires to
(i)discontinue the end-user's line sharing DSL service;or (ii)continue providing
DSL service to the end-user over an unbundled loop without line sharing.If
SPRINT fails to make an affirmative election during said three (3)business day
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 114
period,option (ii)shall be implemented.If option (ii)is implemented,the Parties
shall cooperate to transition the continuation without interruption(except for
momentary interruptions as described in the ALJ Ruling)of such DSL service
without line sharing.
1.3 Availability.Provided that the requirementsof this Agreement are met,line sharing shall
be available under the following circumstances:
1.3.1 The end-user has Voice Service from VERIZON and wishes to add DSL service
from SPRINT.
1.3.2 The end-user has Voice Service and DSL service from VERIZON and wishes to
convert the DSL service to SPRINT.
1.3.3 The end-user wishes to establish both new Voice Service from VERIZON and
new DSL service from SPRINT,subject to the requirement that Voice Service
must be established prior to the implementationof DSL service.
1.3.4 The end-user has Voice Service from VERIZON and DSL service from another
competitive local exchange carrier and wishes to convert the DSL service to
SPRINT.
At this time,line sharing will not be available where the end-user has had its Voice
Service number ported out to another local service provider eitherthrough interim
number portability or long-term local number portability.In addition,VERIZON shall not
provide line sharing to more than one competitive local exchange carrier per loop.
Subject to the reservation of rights and limitations set forth in Section 1.4,VERIZON shall
abide by the requirements of orders rendered in the Interim Arbitration,Line Sharing
Phase of the Commission's OANAD proceeding (Rulemaking (R.)93-04-
003/Investigation (I.)93-04-002)regarding the provisioning of line sharing over the UNE
platform.
1.4 Reservation of Rights.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,the
Parties do not waive,and hereby expressly reserve,their rights:(a)to challenge,or to
continue to challenge,the legality and/or propriety of the ALJ Ruling,orders rendered in
the Interim Arbitration,Line Sharing Phase of the Commission's OANAD proceeding,
FCC Rule 51.319,the FCC Line Sharing Order (CC Docket No.96-98 and 98-147;FCC
99-355)and/or any other related FCC orders or rules,including,without limitation,the
FCC Collocation Order in CC Docket No.98-147 (rel.March 31,1999)which was
remanded and vacated in part by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit on March 17,2000 (See,GTE Service Corporation,et.al.v.Federal
Communications Commission and United States of America,No.99-1176,consolidated
with No.99-1201,2000 U.S.App.LEXIS4111 (D.C.Cir.2000);(b)to continue to
prosecute the current appeal of the FCC pricing rules pending before the Eighth Circuit
Court of Appeals;(c)to assert or continue to assert that certain provisionsof the FCC's
First,Second and Third Report and Order in FCC Docket No.96-98 and other FCC
orders or rules are unlawful,illegal and improper;(d)to assert that modificationsto this
Agreement from a pricing and/or policy standpoint may be necessary to address or
account for the use of line sharing for the provision of voice service,including,without
limitation,voice over IP or voice over DSL service;(e)to assert or continue to assert any
rights or challenges already reserved or existing under the Agreement,including,without
limitation,any litigation related to the Agreement;and (f)to take any appropriate action
relating to the offering of line sharing based on the outcome of any of the actions or
challenges described in subparagraphs (a)-(e)above or any other actions.SPRINT
further reserves the right to seek to have this Appendix be construed and interpretedto
enable SPRINT to offer the broadest possible array of advanced services to consumers
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 115
in the State of California.The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination,
rescission,modificationor expiration of this Agreement without limit as to time.
1.5 Further Assurances.The Parties understand that both industry and VERIZON standards
and processes applicable to line sharing,including,without limitation,loop qualification,
ordering provisioning,fully automated OSS interfaces and other facets of OSS,are still
being developed.Accordingly,the Parties agree to cooperate in any reasonable
arrangement designed to facilitate the developmentof such standards and processes
and to document the same for purposes of this Agreement,as necessary and
appropriate.
1.6 Customer Education.VERIZON and SPRINT shall make end-users aware of the
following conditions and requirements:
1.6.1 The end-user should call VERIZON for problems related to its Voice Service.
The end-user should call its SPRINT contact for problems related to its DSL
service.
1.6.2 The end-user's line shared DSL service is dependent on its Voice Service.If
there is a problem with the physical line that causes the Voice Service to be
inoperative,the end-user may also be unable to use DSL services for some
period of time.
1.6.3 Subject to the requirements of Sections 1.2(b)and (c),end-users will not be able
to use SPRINT line shared DSL services if VERIZON Voice Services on the
shared line are cancelled or terminated for any reason.
2.Operations Matters.
2.1 Copper Network.Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2,VERIZON shall provide
line sharing to SPRINT utilizing an all-copper pair between an end-user customer
demarcation location and the main distributionframe in VERIZON's serving wire center
that is jumpered and cross-connected to a SPRINT collocation arrangement located in
said serving wire center.At the serving wire center,VERIZON shall connect the line to a
SPRINT tie cable via a VERIZON-providedjumper;provided,however,that SPRINT
must first have obtained said tie cable from VERIZON to connect to SPRINT's collocation
arrangement.
2.2 Fiber-Fed DLC Network.VERIZON shall provide line sharing to SPRINT over Digital
Loop Carrier ("DLC")to the extent required pursuant to Applicable Law,including the
orders rendered in the Interim Arbitration,Line Sharing Phase of the OANAD proceeding.
and without waiving any rights to challenge any such requirement.Fiber-fed DLC
consists of an all-copper pair from the end-user customer demarcation location to a
remote terminal (i.e.,controlled environmental vault,fiber hut,cabinet or other structure
with fiber-fed DLC equipment installed).
2.3 Splitter Options.To utilize line sharing,SPRINT must obtain access to a splitter that
meets the requirements for equipment collocation set by the FCC in its Collocation Order
in CC Docket No.98-147 (rel.March 31,1999)in the central office that serves the end-
user of the shared line.SPRINT may obtain access to said splitter via the following
options.Priorto June 6,2000,VERIZON shall equip central offices with a VERIZON-
owned splitter as described in Option No.2 below.SPRINT agrees to use this
configuration for initial line sharing in the central offices that VERIZON commits to have
fully operational on or before June 6,2000 (assuming that unforeseen delays in the
availability of necessary equipment and/or labor,or other circumstances beyond
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 116
VERI2ON's control,do not occur)as set forth on Exhibit 1 attached hereto.For those
central offices that VERIZON cannot commit to have fully operationalwith a VERIZON-
owned splitter on or before June 6,2000,SPRINT may choose to deploy its own splitter
as described in Option No.1 below.VERIZON shall provide SPRINTwith written notice
in the event that Exhibit 1 needs to be revised due to unforeseen delays or other
circumstances beyondVERIZON's reasonable control.For any central office in which
SPRINT chooses to install its own splitter,VERIZON agrees to install any additional tie
cables required by SPRINT,in accordance with,and subject to,the terms of collocation
set forth in this Agreement and/or applicableVERIZON tariffs.Notwithstandinganything
to the contrary herein,any splitter installed by SPRINT or VERIZON shall:(1)comply with
AWSI T1E1 standards and VERIZON NEBS policy for collocators;(2)employ DC
blocking capacitors or equivalent technology to assist in isolating high bandwidthtrouble
resolution and maintenance to the high frequency portion of the frequency spectrum;and
(3)be designed so that the analog voice "dial tone"stays active when the splitter card is
removed for testing or maintenance.
2.3.1 Option No.1:CLEC Owned Splitter Located in the Collocation Arrangement of
SPRINT.SPRINT may choose to obtain the splitter directly and place the splitter
in its collocation arrangement.SPRINT shall purchase and own the splitter.
Under this option,both the non-SPRINT voice traffic and the SPRINT-provided
DSL services will arrive at the SPRINT collocation arrangement via a tie cable
obtained from VERIZON.At the collocation arrangement,the tie cable will
terminate at the splitter,which will separate the voice traffic and the DSL traffic.
SPRINT will retain the DSL traffic and will return the voice traffic to VERIZON,
over a separate CLEC tie pair assignment.
2.3.2 Option No.2:CLEC Owned Splitter Located in an Area of the ServingWire
Center Controlled Exclusively by VERIZON.SPRINT may choose to have
VERIZON purchase and own the splitter and locate the splitter in an area in the
serving wire center to which SPRINT does not have access (e.g.,on or as close
to the main distribution frame as practical).Said splitter shall be installed in any
of the following locations within the central office,at VERIZON's discretion--the
main distribution frame,in a relay rack mounted arrangement or intermediate
frame arrangement.In this scenario,SPRINT shall obtain the splitter
functionality on an individual "port-at-a-time"basis.VERIZON shall perform all
maintenanceand repair work (as detailed further below in Section 2.11).
SPRINT shall receive its DSL traffic via a tie cable obtained from VERIZON,
running from the main distribution frame to the splitter and then from the splitter
to SPRINT's collocation arrangement.Under this Option,VERIZON shall provide
to SPRINT loop and splitter functionality that is compatible with any transmission
technology that SPRINT seeks to deploy using the high frequency portion of the
loop,provided that such transmission technology is presumedto be deployable
pursuant to FCC Rule 51.230.
2.3.3 Option No.3:CLEC Owned Splitter Located in an Area of the ServingWire
Center Controlled Exclusively by VERIZON Via Virtual Collocation.VERIZON
shall offer SPRINT an additional option under which it may choose to purchase
and own the splitter and have it located via a virtual collocation arrangement in
an area in the serving wire center to which SPRINT does not have access.In
this scenario,SPRINT shall obtain the splitter functionality on a "shelf at-a-time
basis.VERIZON shall perform all maintenance and repair work.SPRINT shall
receive its DSL traffic via a tie cable obtained from VERIZON,running from the
main distribution frame to the virtually collocated splitter and then from the splitter
to SPRINT's collocation arrangement.VERIZON shall offer SPRINT virtual
collocation under this Option in accordance with the terms of the VERIZON
federal collocation tariff (FCC Tariff No.1),provided,however,that for purposes
251/252 FINALAGREEMENT 117
of this Agreement,the Paitico shúll treat the tariff rates applied to the virtual
collocation of a splitter as interim,and subject to true-up,in accordance with the
terms outlined in Section 3.1.During the sixty (60)day period following the
effective date of this Appendix,the Parties agree to cooperate in the negotiation
and development of any terms necessary to implement virtual collocationfor line
sharing.Any interim rates established pursuant to such negotiation shall be
subject to true-up in accordance with the terms outlined in Section 3.1.
2.4 Collocation.VERIZON will revise collocation applicationsto include requests for
information regarding line sharing equipment.SPRINTwill specify its requirementsfor
line sharing on the collocation applicationfor that central office.If SPRINT's collocation
application is accepted,VERIZON will make the office ready for line sharing during the
interval applicable to SPRINT's request for collocation.VERIZON shall completethe
installation and provisioning of any tie cable ordered by CLEC in accordance with,and
subject to,the terms of collocation set forth in this Agreement and/or applicable
VERIZON tariffs.VERIZON shall process all SPRINT applications and firm orders for
augmenting its collocation arrangements to use line sharing in accordancewith,and
subject to,the terms of collocation set forth in this Agreement and/or applicable
VERIZON tariffs.
2.5 Transport.VERIZON shall make availableto SPRINT interoffice transport to transport its
high frequency traffic between its collocation arrangement in the serving wire center and
its point-of-presence,node,or collocation arrangement in a different wire center in
accordance with,and subject to,the terms of this Agreement and/or applicableVERIZON
tariffs.
2.6 End-User Premise Equipment.SPRINT must provide the end-user with,and is
responsible for the installation of,a modem,splitter,filter(s)and/or other equipment
necessary at the end-user premise to receive separate Voice Services and DSL services
across the same loop.SPRINT is also responsiblefor the installation and maintenanceof
such equipment.SPRINT shall determine the necessary customer premises equipment.
2.7 Pre-ordering.During pre-ordering,VERIZON shall provide CLEC with nondiscriminatory
access to the Loop Makeup information required by FCC Rule 51.319(g)including,but
not limited to,the following:
2.7.1 The composition of the available loop material (includingwithout limitation fiber
optics and copper);
2.7.2 The existence,location and type of electronic or other equipment on the loop
(includingwithout limitation DLC or other remote concentration devices,
feederldistribution interfaces,bridged taps,load coils,pair gain devices,
repeaters,remote switching units,range extenders,AMI T-1s in the same or
adjacent binder groups,and other potential disturbers);
2.7.3 Loop length,including the segment length and location of each type of
transmission media;
2.7.4 Loop length by wire gauge,and
2.7.5 The electrical parameters of the loop.
As of the effective date of this Appendix,VERIZON shall provide the above information
via a WEB GUI.As soon as possible,VERIZON shall enable SPRINTto access all Loop
Makeup Informationavailable to itself or to its affiliates contained in any system,
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 118
database,or record consistent with the requirements set forth in the FCC Rules and
Orders.
2.8 Ordering.As of the effective date of this Appendix,VERIZON shall enable SPRINT to
perform all ordering functions via a real-time,electronic interface,as soon as possible
after the interface becomes available.Until such time as a real-time,electronic interface
is made availableto SPRINT by VERIZON,VERIZON shall enable SPRINT to order line
sharing,or the conditioning of lines,via a Web GUI.The Parties will cooperate in the
development and deployment of these processes and systems to better facilitate line
sharing.
2.9 Provisioning.VERIZON will work cooperatively with SPRINT to prioritize the order and
timeframe in which VERIZON will complete deployment of POTS splitters and other
equipment necessaryto provision line sharing in VERIZON's offices where SPRINT is
currently collocated or where collocation is in the process of being provisionedcapable of
supporting shared lines.After this Appendi× becomes effective,for offices where
SPRINT notifiesVERIZON of its intent to deploy line sharing,it must providea rolling six
(6)month forecast of line sharing orders,which is updated every three (3)months.
These forecasts will be utilized to assist the Parties in the more efficient provisioningof
line sharing,but shall not be binding on either Party.These forecasts will be treated as
confidential information pursuant to the Agreement and shall be used by VERIZON solely
for wholesale capacity planning purposes.As soon as a central office has the splitter
installed,VERIZON will begin accepting orders for lines served by that office.VERIZON
will initially provision line sharing within its current standard DSL retail provisioning
intervals for unconditioned (five (5)business days)and conditioned loops (eleven
(11)business days),The Parties acknowledge that these intervals are subject to change
based on systems mechanization,changes in Applicable Law (including,without
limitation new OSS requirements),order volumes and other agreed upon procedures that
better facilitate line sharing,provided,however,that such intervals shall remain at parity
with VERIZON's DSL retail provisioning intervals,as provided in Commission Docket
R.9710-016 and I.97-10-017.
2.10 Conditioning.*CLEC may order conditioning of shared lines,which may involve:(a)the
removal of bridgetaps,filter,extenders and load coils;(b)a line and station transfer;
and/or (c)Digital Added Main Line (DAML)(consistent with the provisions of section 2.13
of this Agreement).VERIZON will perform loop conditioning if the loop loss for voice
services is less than -8.0dB.Conditioning will not be provided in circumstanceswhere
such conditioningsignificantly degrades other advanced services or traditional voice
band services as provided and described in FCC Rules 51.230,51.233 and paragraphs
85,86 and 201-205 of the Line Sharing Order.
2.11 Testing,Repair and Maintenance.
2.11.1 So that SPRINTs have nondiscriminatoryaccess to the loop facility for testing,
repair and maintenance,SPRINT shall have physical and remotetest access to
the test head,e.g.the physical loop test access point at the splitter,twenty-four
hours a day,seven days a week.VERIZON shall provide CLECs with
equivalent electronic access to any testing functionality which VERIZON and/or
VERIZON's affiliates utilize to provide DSL services.For example,VERIZON will
provide CLECs remote test access via its Wholesale Internet Service Engine
("WISE")website (http://www.gte.com/wise)4-Tel loop testing mechanism.
VERIZON is responsible for all testing of facilities and equipment terminated to
its main distribution frame and SPRINT is responsiblefor all testing of facilities
located within its collocation space.VERIZON reserves the right to seek access
to SPRINT's collocation space to conduct reasonably necessary testing,repairs
or maintenancewhen SPRINT owns the splitter,as provided under Option No i
251/252 FINALAGREEMENT 119
of Section 2.3 thove.For line charing testing purposes (i.e.,high frequency
spectrum only),SPRINT's point of demarcation will be within the SPRINT's
collocation space
2.11.2 VERIZON will be responsiblefor repairing Voice Service and the physical line
between the network interface device at the end-user premise and SPRINT
demarcation point in the central office.SPRINT will be responsible for repairing
its DSL services and any end user related DSL component at the end-user
premise.Each entity will be responsible for maintainingits own equipment.In
response to a trouble ticket opened by SPRINT,VERIZON shall conduct any
necessary repair work for line sharing on a twenty-four-hour-a-day,seven-day-a-
week basis,and shall maintain a mean-time-to-repair interval of twenty-four (24)
hours,applied monthly,on a parity basis with VERIZON's retail repair intervals,,
as provided in Commission Docket R.97-10-016 and I.97-10-017 VERIZON is
responsible for all repair and maintenance of facilities and equipment terminated
to its main distribution frame and SPRINT is responsible for all repair and
maintenance of facilities located within its collocation space.Where VERIZON
owns the splitter and does not provide SPRINT with access to the splitter,
VERIZON shall conduct any necessary repair work on the splitter on a twenty-
four-hour-a-day,seven-day-a-week basis,and shall maintain a mean-time-to-
repair interval of twenty-four (24)hours,applied monthly,on a parity basis with
VERIZON's retail repair intervals,as provided in Commission Docket R.97-10-
016 and I.97-10-017..Where SPRINT owns the splitter,SPRINT is responsible
for performing maintenance,repair and testing on the splitter.C
2.11.3 VERIZON and SPRINT agree to coordinate in good faith any splitter testing,
repair and maintenance that will significantly impact the service provided by the
other party.VERIZON and SPRINTs will work together to diagnose and resolve
any troubles reported by the end-user and to develop a permanent process for
repair of shared lines.In the interim,VERIZON and SPRINT will work together to
address end-user initiated repair requests and to prevent adverse impacts to the
end-user.Where VERIZON has isolated a trouble with the Voice Serviceto be in
SPRINT provided equipment,VERIZON shall notify SPRINT and SPRINT will be
required to clear the trouble associated with the VERIZON lifeline voice services.
Where such troubles are not cleared within 3 hours,VERIZON will strap-through
the voice service on the VERIZON main distribution frame,isolating SPRINT
equipment from the VERIZON loop facility.This strap-through arrangement shall
be limited in duration to the time necessary to repair the trouble.SPRINT is
responsiblefor informing VERIZON of any life line data services (e.g.heart
monitor),which may be being provided over the high frequency portion of the
loop,that would preclude any such strap-through activity by VERIZON.
2.11.4 VERIZON shall not consider installation of line-sharingto be complete until
SPRINT has affirmatively accepted the installation.VERIZON shall test the high
frequency portion of the loop for copper continuity and for pair balance prior to
completing the installation.Once VERIZON completes such testing and obtains
passing results,VERIZON shall inform CLEC that VERIZON believes the
installation has been properly performed.At this point,SPRINT shall either
accept the line without conducting its own testing,or shall conduct its own test of
the line shared loop.If CLEC conducts its own testing and the results
demonstrate that the line-shared loop is capable of being used to provide DSL
services,CLEC shall accept the line-shared loop from VERIZON.If CLEC
conducts its own testing and the results demonstrate that the line-shared loop is
not capable of being used to provide DSL services,CLEC may refuse to accept
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 120
the line,and may instead e a e irobe 6,KO.3uch a trouble ticket shall not be
placed in the general popuistion of assinienanceand repair trouble tickets,but
rather shall remain an installati<,n problera.Until the problem is resolved to the
satisfaction of the Parties,the installLtion will bc deemed by the parties to be an
incomplete,failed installation.
2.12 End-Users with Burglar Alarm Systems.The Parties acknowledge that the high
frequencies associatedwith DSL car,cause interference with some burglar alarm
systems,resulting in false alarms,or in some instances,impairthe alarm system to the
point that it becomes inoperative.To ruitigate these issues,for DSL customers with
burglar alarm systems,VERIZON generally takes the following preventiveactions:(a)
where the burglar alarm system interfaces the inside wiring of the customer premise via
an RJ11 jack,VERIZON places a micro-filter between the burglar alarm dial-up unit and
the inside wiring;and (b)where the burglar alarm system is "hard-wired"to the inside
wiring at the customer premises,VERIZON places a splitter to isolate the high frequency
data signals from the burglar alarm system dial-up unit.When SPRINT provides line
sharing services to an end-user,SPRINT shall be required to inquireand to determine
whether the end-user customer has a burglar alarm system.For customers with burglar
alarm systems,SPRINT is responsible for taking the necessary preventiveactions to
ensure that the end-user's burglar alarm system remains operative and the high
frequencies associated with line sharing services do not interferewith its operation.
2.13 DAML Removal.Upon SPRINT request,VERIZON shall be required to remove a Digital
Added Main Line ("DAML")when the DAML is used to serve a single end-user and that
end-user agrees to the removal.SPRINT shall be obligated to obtain consent from the
end-user prior to requesting such DAML removal.Said consent shall evidence that the
end-user knowingly and voluntarily agrees to the discontinuationof any and all services
associatedwith the additional lines which shall be terminated as a result of such DAML
removal.SPRINT is only obligated to obtain said consent so long as VERIZON obtains
the same consent for its own end-users.
3.Financial Matters.
3.1 Interim Pricing.The rates and charges for line sharing services provided pursuant to this
Agreement are set forth on Exhibit 2 .Notwithstandinganything in this Agreement to the
contrary,these rates and charges are interim pending the outcome of the Commissions
rate proceeding regarding line sharing in the OANAD proceeding.VERIZON asserts that
VERIZON's interim pricing proposal does not reflect all the costs associated with line
sharing for all configurations (e.g.,the costs associated with collaborativetesting,costs
associatedwith OSS-related implementation costs,DAML removal,etc.).VERIZON w il
present these costs and seek recovery for them (including a retroactive true-up)in the
OANAD line sharing phase.To the e×tent that the OANAD line sharing rates for
VERIZON (the "OANAD Line Sharing Rates"),or the terms and conditionsfor application
of the OANAD Line Sharing Rates,are different than specified in this Section,the
OANAD Rates will be applied prospectively pending the issuance of a final,binding and
non-appealable order.Upon the issuance of such an order,the OANAD Rates will be
applied retroactivelyto the effective date of this Agreement.The Parties will true up any
resulting over or under billing.Any underpayment shall be paid,and any overpayment
shall be refunded,within forty-five (45)business days after the date on which the OANAD
Line Sharing Rate order becomes final,binding and non-appealable.Such true-up
Collocation is a prerequisite to line sharing.SPRINT must first collocate digital subscriber line access multiplexer
(DSLAM)equipment and splitters (under Option No.1 described in Section 2.3)in VERIZON's central office and order applicable
cables in connection therewith.The applicable conditions.rates.and charges for satisfying these collocation requirements are
contained within the collocation provisions of the Agreement and are separate from the interim line sharing rates and charges
proposed herein.
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 121
payments,if any,shall also include interest cornputed at the µrime retc ci the Cank of
America,NA in effect at the date of said order.VERIZON she I establish the
memorandum accounts required by the ALJ Ruling.
3.2 Nonwaiver.The Parties do not waive,and hereby expressly reserve,their rights to assert
or continue to assert that certain of the rates,charges or terms established in OANAD or
any other proceeding (including,without limitation,the OANAD Line Sharing Rates)are
unlawful,illegal and improper.The Parties further e×pressly reserve their past,present
and future rights to challenge and seek review of any and all such rates,charges or terms
in any court or commission of competent jurisdiction or other available forum.Such
terms,rates or charges are further subject to change and/or modificationresulting from
future orders or decisions of any commission,court or other governmental authority
having competent jurisdiction that address the following:(a)VERIZON's costs (e.g.,
actual costs,contribution,undepreciated reserve deficiency,or similar VERIZON costs
(including VERIZON's interim universal service support charge));(b)the establishment of
a competitively neutral universal service system;(c)any and all actions seeking to
invalidate,stay,vacate or otherwise modify any FCC order in effect as of the effective
date,or during the term,of this Agreement which impact such terms,rates and/or
charges,including,without limitation,the matters described in Section 1.4;or (d)any
other relevant appeal or litigation.If any such rates,charges and/or terms are adjusted
or otherwise modified,in whole or in part,in the OANAD proceedingor in any other
proceeding,then this Agreement shall be deemed to have been automaticallyamended,
and such amendment shall be effective upon the date of the applicable order.Such
adjusted or modified rates and charges will be applied prospectively pendingthe
issuance of a final,binding and non-appealable order in the subject proceeding.At such
time as the applicable order becomes final,binding and non-appealable,the adjusted or
modified rates and charges established therein shall be applied retroactivelyto the
effective date of the amendment to this Agreement regarding line sharing.The Parties
will true-up any resulting over or under billing in accordance with the requirements of
Section 3.1,The Parties agree that the provisions of this Section shall survivethe
termination,rescission,modification or expiration of this Agreement without limit as to
time.The Parties acknowledgesthat either Party may seek to enforce the provisions of
this Section before a commission or court of competent jurisdiction.
3.3 Loop Costs.In developing its interim prices set forth in Section 3.1,VERIZON did not
include any direct loop costs.VERIZON's pricing methodology,however,is premised on
the assumption that VERIZON will be afforded an opportunity to recover all its actual
costs --including the total actual cost of the loop --in prices for services and in explicit
universal service support.If VERIZON cannot recover all its costs,then VERIZON's
pricing methodology must change and VERIZON reserves the right to require such a
change.Also,VERIZON does not agree with the FCC's UNE pricing rules,which do not
allow prices to be based on an ILEC's actual costs or opportunity costs.The Court of
Appeals for the Eighth Circuit is considering the substantive validity of the FCC's pricing
rules,and VERIZON reserves its right to change its prices if the court stays,vacates,or
modifiesthe FCC's rules.
3.4 Billing.Billing for line sharing will be handled via the VERIZON CBSS system,consistent
with the billing for UNE loops.
Collocation is a prerequisite to line sharing.SPRINT must first collocate digital
subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM)equipment and splitters (under Option No.1
described in Section 2.3)in VERIZON's central office and order applicabletie cables in
connection therewith.The applicable conditions,rates,and charges for satisfying these
collocation requirements are contained within the collocation provisions of the Agreement
and are separate from the interim line sharing rates and charges proposed herein.
