Common use of Line Conditioning Clause in Contracts

Line Conditioning. Verizon shall condition a copper Loop at the request of ***CLEC Acronym TXT *** when seeking access to a copper Loop or any portion of a copper Loop, including, without limitation, the high frequency portion of a copper Loop, to ensure that the copper Loop or copper sub-Loop is suitable for providing xDSL services, including those provided over the high frequency portion of the copper Loop or copper sub-Loop, whether or not Verizon offers advanced services to the end-user customer on that copper Loop or copper sub-Loop. If Verizon seeks compensation from ***CLEC Acronym TXT*** for line conditioning, ***CLEC Acronym TXT*** has the option of refusing, in whole or in part, to have the line conditioned; and ***CLEC Acronym TXT***’s refusal of some or all aspects of line conditioning will not diminish any right it may have, under this Section [7.4], to access the copper Loop, the high frequency portion of the copper Loop, or the copper Sub-Loop. 7.4.1 Line conditioning is defined as the removal from a copper Loop or copper Sub- Loop of any device that could diminish the capability of the Loop or Sub-Loop to deliver high-speed switched wireline telecommunications capability, including DSL service. Such devices include, but are not limited to, bridge taps, load coils, low pass filters, and range extenders. 7.4.2 Verizon shall recover the costs of line conditioning from ***CLEC Acronym TXT*** in accordance with the FCC’s forward-looking pricing principles promulgated pursuant to section 252(d)(1) of the Act and in compliance with rules governing nonrecurring costs in Section 51.507(e) of the FCC’s rules. 7.4.3 Insofar as it is Technically Feasible, Verizon shall test and report troubles for all the features, functions, and capabilities of conditioned copper Loops, and may not restrict its testing to voice transmission only. 7.4.4 Where ***CLEC Acronym TXT*** is seeking access to the high frequency portion of a copper Loop or copper Sub-Loop and Verizon claims that conditioning that Loop or Sub-Loop will significantly degrade, as defined in Section 51.233 of the FCC’s rules, the voiceband services that Verizon is currently providing over that Loop or Sub-Loop, Verizon must either: 7.4.4.1 Locate another copper Loop or copper Sub-Loop that has been or can be conditioned, migrate Verizon’s voiceband service to that Loop or Sub-Loop, and provide ***CLEC Acronym TXT*** with access to the high frequency portion of that alternative Loop or Sub-Loop; or 7.4.4.2 Make a showing to the [***State Commission TXT***] that the original copper Loop or copper Sub-Loop cannot be conditioned without significantly degrading voiceband services on that Loop or Sub-Loop, as defined in Section 51.233 of the FCC’s rules, and that there is no adjacent or alternative copper Loop or copper Sub- Loop available that can be conditioned or to which the end-user customer’s voiceband service can be moved to enable Line Sharing. 7.4.5 If, after evaluating Verizon’s showing under Section [7.4.4.2] above, the [***State Commission TXT***] concludes that a copper Loop or copper Sub- Loop cannot be conditioned without significantly degrading the voiceband service, Verizon cannot then or subsequently condition that Loop or Sub-Loop to provide advanced services to its own customers without first making available to any requesting telecommunications carrier, including ***CLEC Acronym TXT***, the high frequency portion of the newly conditioned Loop or Sub-Loop.
