Common use of Loop Interference and Maintenance Clause in Contracts

Loop Interference and Maintenance. If Gulf Coast’s deployment of service enhancing technology interferes with existing or planned service enhancing technologies deployed by GTE or other CLECs in the same cable sheath, GTE will so notify Gulf Coast and Gulf Coast will immediately remove such interfering technology and shall reimburse GTE for all costs and expenses incurred related to this interference. When Gulf Coast provides its own loop and connects directly to GTE’s NID, GTE does not have the capability to perform routine maintenance. Gulf Coast can perform routine maintenance via its loop and inform GTE once the trouble has been isolated to the GTE NID and GTE will repair (or replace) the NID, or, at Gulf Coast’s option, effect a NID-to-NID cross connection, using the GTE NID only to gain access to the inside wire at the Customer location.
