Deployment and Interference. 55.4.1 In providing services utilizing the high frequency spectrum network element, sprint shall allow CLEC to deploy underlying technology that does not significantly interfere with other advanced services and analog circuit-switched voice band transmissions. 55.4.2 Sprint shall employ industry accepted standards and practices to maximize binder group efficiency through analyzing the interference potential of each loop in a binder group, assigning an aggregate interference limit to the binder group, and then adding loops to the binder group until that limit is met. Disputes regarding the standards and practices employed in this regard shall be resolved through the Dispute Resolution Process set forth in §23 of this Agreement. 55.4.3 Until long term industry standards and practices can be established, a particular technology using the high frequency portion of the loop shall be presumed acceptable for deployment under certain circumstances. Deployment that is consistent with at least one of the following circumstances presumes that such loop technology will not significantly degrade the performance of other advanced services or impair traditional analog circuit-switched voice band services: 55.4.3.1 Complies with existing industry standards, including an industry-standard PSD mask, as well as modulation schemes and electrical characteristics; 55.4.3.2 Is approved by an industry standards body, the FCC, or any state commission or; 55.4.3.3 Has been successfully deployed by any carrier without significantly degrading the performance of other services; provided however, where CLEC seeks to establish that deployment of a technology falls within the presumption of acceptability under this paragraph 55.4.3.3, the burden is on CLEC to demonstrate to the state commission that its proposed deployment meets the threshold for a presumption of acceptability and will not, in fact, significantly degrade the performance of other advanced services or traditional voice band services.
