Common use of Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers Clause in Contracts

Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers. 2.6.1 Where Knology has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses Integrated Digital Loop Carrier (IDLC) systems to provide the local service to the end user and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to Knology. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will make alternative arrangements available to Knology (e.g. hairpinning). 2.6.2 BellSouth will select one of the following arrangements: 1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises. 2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated. 3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch. 4. If capacity exists, provide "DACS-door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch). 2.6.3 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non- designed loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases. 2.6.4 If no alternate facility is available, BellSouth will utilize its Special Construction (SC) process to determine the additional costs required to provision the loop facilities. Knology will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the loop.

Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers. 2.6.1 Where Knology Georgia Prepaid has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses Integrated Digital Loop Carrier (IDLC) IDLC systems to provide the local service to the end user End User and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to KnologyGeorgia Prepaid. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will make alternative arrangements available to Knology (e.g. hairpinning). 2.6.2 BellSouth will select implement one of the following arrangements:alternative arrangements for Georgia Prepaid (e.g. hairpinning): 1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises. 2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated.. AMENDMENT EXHIBIT 1 3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch. 4. If capacity exists, provide "DACS-Digital Access Cross Connect System (DACS)- door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch). 2.6.3 2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non- designed loops Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases. 2.6.4 2.6.3 If no alternate facility is available, and upon request from Georgia Prepaid, and if agreed to by both Parties, BellSouth will may utilize its Special Construction (SC) process to determine the additional costs required to provision the loop facilities. Knology Georgia Prepaid will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the loopLoop.

Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers. 2.6.1 Where Knology South Georgia Pre-Paid has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses Integrated Digital Loop Carrier (IDLC) systems to provide the local service to the end user and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to KnologySouth Georgia Pre-Paid. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will make alternative arrangements available to Knology (e.g. hairpinning). 2.6.2 BellSouth will select implement one of the following arrangements:alternative arrangements for South Georgia Pre-Paid (e.g. hairpinning): 1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises. 2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated. 3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch. 4. If capacity exists, provide "DACS-door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch). 2.6.3 2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non- designed loops Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases. 2.6.4 2.6.3 If no alternate facility is available, BellSouth will utilize its Special Construction (SC) process to determine the additional costs required to provision the loop Loop facilities. Knology South Georgia Pre-Paid will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the loopLoop.
