Common use of Network Interface Device Clause in Contracts

Network Interface Device. 3.1 Apart from its obligation to provide the Network Interface Device (NID) functionality as part of an unbundled loop or subloop, SBC MISSOURI shall also provide nondiscriminatory access to the NID as a UNE, consistent with Section 2.1 of this Attachment UNE, SBC MISSOURI shall provide Network Interface Device under the following terms and conditions in this subsection. 3.2 The Network Interface Device (NID) UNE is defined as any means of interconnection of end user customer premises wiring to SBC MISSOURI’s distribution plant, such as a cross connect device used for that purpose. Fundamentally, the NID establishes the final (and official) network demarcation point between the loop and the end user's inside wire. Except in multi-unit tenant properties where SBC MISSOURI owns and maintains control over inside wire within a building or on a property up to the NID, maintenance and control of the end user's inside wiring (i.e., on the end user's side of the NID) is under the control of the end user. Conflicts between telephone service providers for access to the end user's inside wire on the end user’s side of the NID must be resolved by the end user. Pursuant to applicable FCC rules, SBC MISSOURI offers nondiscriminatory access to the NID on an unbundled basis to CLEC for the provision of a Telecommunications Service. CLEC access to the NID is offered as specified below. 3.3 CLEC may obtain unbundled access to the NID on SBC MISSOURI’s network side on a stand-alone basis to permit CLEC to connects its own loop facilities to the premises wiring at any customer locations. Any repairs, upgrade and rearrangements to the NID required by CLEC will be performed by SBC MISSOURI based on Time and Material charges set out in Appendix Pricing. SBC MISSOURI, at the request of CLEC, will disconnect the SBC MISSOURI local loop from the NID, at charges reflected in Appendix Pricing. CLEC may elect to disconnect SBC MISSOURI’s local loop from the NID on the customer’s side of the NID, but CLEC shall not perform any disconnect on the network side of the NID. 3.4 With respect to multiple dwelling units or multiple-unit business premises, CLEC shall have the option of connecting directly with the End User’s premises wire, or may connect with the End User’s premises wire via SBC MISSOURI’s NID. 3.5 SBC MISSOURI shall be under no obligation to install a NID in order to enable CLEC to interconnect to such NID, but SBC MISSOURI shall make available to CLEC any NID that exists at the time CLEC seeks interconnections to a NID to serve an end user customer. The NIDs that CLEC uses under this Attachment will be existing NIDs installed by SBC MISSOURI to serve its End Users. 3.6 Neither Party shall attach to or disconnect the other Party’s ground. Neither Party shall cut or disconnect the other Party’s loop from the NID and/or its protector. Neither Party shall cut any other leads in the NID. 3.7 If CLEC requests any additional types of access to the NID not specifically referenced above, SBC MISSOURI will consider the requested type of access via a mutually feasible method, to be facilitated via the Bona Fide Request (BFR) Process.

Fundamentally, the NID establishes the final (and official) network demarcation point between the loop and the end userEnd User's inside wire. Except In multi-unit properties, the Inside Wire Subloop may include the NID. Maintenance and control of inside wire is under the control of the premises owner, except in multi-unit tenant properties where SBC MISSOURI AT&T owns and maintains control over inside wire within a building or on a property up to the NID, maintenance . Maintenance and control of the end user's inside wiring (i.e., Inside Wire Subloop on the end user's property owner’s side of the NID) is demarcation point may be under the control of the end userproperty owner or the End User. Conflicts between telephone service providers for access to the end userEnd User's inside wire on the end user’s side of the NID must be resolved by the end userEnd User. Pursuant to applicable FCC rules, SBC MISSOURI AT&T offers nondiscriminatory access to the NID on an unbundled basis to CLEC for the provision of a Telecommunications Service. CLEC access to the NID is offered as specified below. 3.3 CLEC may obtain unbundled access to the NID on SBC MISSOURIAT&T’s network side on a stand-alone basis to permit CLEC to connects connect its own loop facilities to the premises wiring at any customer locations. Any repairs, upgrade and rearrangements to the NID required by CLEC will be performed by SBC MISSOURI AT&T based on Time and Material charges set out in Appendix Pricingthe Pricing Schedule. SBC MISSOURIAT&T, at the request of CLEC, will disconnect the SBC MISSOURI AT&T local loop from the NID, at charges reflected in Appendix Pricingthe Pricing Schedule.
