Common use of Provisioning Clause in Contracts

Provisioning. GTE agrees to provide UNEs and UNE-Ps in a timely manner, considering the need and volume of requests, pursuant to agreed upon service provisioning intervals. GTE shall provide power to ordered UNEs and UNE-Ps on the same basis as GTE provides power to itself. UNEs and UNE-Ps will be provided only when facilities are Currently Available. If facilities are not Currently Available, Gulf Coast will be notified and the order will be rejected. The determination of whether or not facilities are Currently Available will be made on a case-by-case basis. Gulf Coast may use the Bona Fide Request (BFR) process to request GTE to construct facilities at Gulf Coast’s expense. GTE will use the following guidelines to determine if facilities are Currently Available to provision a requested UNE or UNE-P: 4.4.1 GTE will not place new interoffice facilities or outside plant feeder or distribution facilities. 4.4.2 GTE will not breach existing interoffice facilities, outside plant feeder or distribution facilities or central office cabling or wiring to install new electronics or housing for plug-in electronic cards or modules. GTE will install new plug-in cards or modules when the housing already exists and is wired into the network. 4.4.3 In most circumstances, GTE will install drops and NIDs to connect outside plant facilities to an end-user’s premises to provide a UNE loop. GTE will use the same procedures its uses to determine when a drop would routinely be installed for a GTE Customer to determine if a drop will be installed for a UNE loop. Drops will not be installed when conditions such as excessive length, size of cable or use of fiber optics would require GTE outside plant construction personnel to install the drop. 4.4.4 GTE will not install new switches or augment switching capacity. 4.4.5 GTE will not install new software or activate software requiring a new right to use fee in switching equipment. GTE will activate software that is currently loaded in a switch but is not in use. 4.4.6 In certain situations, GTE utilizes pair gain technology, such as Integrated Digital Loop Carrier (IDLC)2 or analog carrier, to provision facilities. GTE may not be able to provision a loop UNE in such cases. Where GTE can provision a loop UNE using pair gain technology, the capabilities of such loop UNE may be limited. If Gulf Coast orders a loop UNE that would normally be provisioned over facilities using pair gain technology, GTE will use alternate facilities to provision the loop UNE if alternate facilities are Currently Available. If alternate facilities are not Currently Available, GTE will advise Gulf Coast that facilities are not available to provision the requested loop UNE.

GTE shall provide power to ordered UNEs and UNE-Ps on the same basis as GTE provides power to itself. UNEs and UNE-Ps will be provided only when facilities are Currently Available. If facilities are not Currently Available, Gulf Coast US Dial Tone will be notified and the order will be rejected. The determination of whether or not facilities are Currently Available will be made on a case-by-case basis. Gulf Coast US Dial Tone may use the Bona Fide Request (BFR) process to request GTE to construct facilities at Gulf CoastUS Dial Tone’s expense. GTE will use the following guidelines to determine if facilities are Currently Available to provision a requested UNE or UNE-P: 4.4.1 3.4.1 GTE will not place new interoffice facilities or outside plant feeder or distribution facilities. 4.4.2 3.4.2 GTE will not breach existing interoffice facilities, outside plant feeder or distribution facilities or central office cabling or wiring to install new electronics or housing for plug-in electronic cards or modules. GTE will install new plug-in cards or modules when the housing already exists and is wired into the network. 4.4.3 3.4.3 In most circumstances, GTE will install drops and NIDs to connect outside plant facilities to an end-user’s premises to provide a UNE loop. GTE will use the same procedures its uses to determine when a drop would routinely be installed for a GTE Customer to determine if a drop will be installed for a UNE loop. Drops will not be installed when conditions such as excessive length, size of cable or use of fiber optics would require GTE outside plant construction personnel to install the drop. 4.4.4 3.4.4 GTE will not install new switches or augment switching capacity. 4.4.5 GTE will not install new software or activate software requiring a new right to use fee in switching equipment. GTE will activate software that is currently loaded in a switch but is not in use. 4.4.6 In certain situations, GTE utilizes pair gain technology, such as Integrated Digital Loop Carrier (IDLC)2 or analog carrier, to provision facilities. GTE may not be able to provision a loop UNE in such cases. Where GTE can provision a loop UNE using pair gain technology, the capabilities of such loop UNE may be limited. If Gulf Coast orders a loop UNE that would normally be provisioned over facilities using pair gain technology, GTE will use alternate facilities to provision the loop UNE if alternate facilities are Currently Available. If alternate facilities are not Currently Available, GTE will advise Gulf Coast that facilities are not available to provision the requested loop UNE.

Provisioning. GTE VERIZON agrees to provide UNEs and UNE-Ps in a timely manner, in accordance with Article 1, Section 3.6 (OSS Performance Measures), considering the need and volume of requests, pursuant to agreed upon service provisioning intervals. GTE VERIZON shall provide power to ordered UNEs and UNE-Ps UNE -Ps on the same basis as GTE VERIZON provides power to itself. UNEs and UNE-Ps UNE -Ps will be provided only when facilities are Currently Available. If facilities are not Currently Available, Gulf Coast Sprint will be notified and the order will be rejected. For loop orders, if VERIZON has planned an installation of facilities to augment the exhausted facilities, that date will be provided to Sprint on the jeopardy report from the VERIZON ordering center (NOMC). Upon installation of VERIZON facilities, those facilities will be made available to Sprint on a first come, first served basis. The determination of whether or not facilities are Currently Available will be made on a case-case- by-case basis. Gulf Coast Sprint may use the Bona Fide Request (BFR) process to request GTE VERIZON to construct facilities at Gulf CoastSprint’s expense.

GTE A facility is considered breached when the wire or fiber within the cable must be accessed at a point other than an access terminal. VERIZON will install new plug-in cards or modules when the housing already exists and is wired into the network. 4.4.3 In most circumstances, GTE VERIZON will install drops and NIDs to connect outside plant facilities to an end-usera Customer’s premises to provide a UNE loop. GTE VERIZON will use the same procedures its it uses to determine when a drop would routinely be installed for a GTE Customer VERIZON Customer, or to determine if a drop will be installed for a UNE loop.

Where GTE VERIZON can provision a loop Local Loop UNE using pair gain technologysuch technologies, the capabilities of such loop Local Loop UNE may be limited. If Gulf Coast SPRINT orders a loop UNE that would normally be provisioned over facilities using pair gain such technology, GTE VERIZON will use alternate facilities to provision the loop UNE if alternate facilities are Currently Available, and the alternate facilities meet Sprints technical requirements. If alternate facilities are not Currently Available, GTE VERIZON will advise Gulf Coast SPRINT that facilities are not available to provision the requested loop UNE. When VERIZON utilizes pair gain technology to provision facilities and Sprint orders all loops provisioned by the specific pair gain device, VERIZON will consider, pursuant to the BFR process contained in Section 4.5, a request by Sprint for VERIZON to connect Sprint interoffice facilities to the VERIZON pair gain device.
