Common use of Loop Interference and Maintenance Clause in Contracts

Loop Interference and Maintenance. If US Dial Tone’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 US Dial Tone and US Dial Tone will immediately remove such interfering technology and shall reimburse GTE for all costs and expenses incurred related to this interference. When US Dial Tone provides its own loop and connects directly to GTE’s NID, GTE does not have the capability to perform routine maintenance. US Dial Tone 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 US Dial Tone’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.
