Common use of Spectrum Management Clause in Contracts

Spectrum Management. The Parties shall comply with the FCC’s lawful and effective spectrum management rules, 47 C.F.R. §51.231-233, as such rules may be modified from time to time. CARRIER will advise AT&T- 13STATE on the ordering form of the Power Spectral Density ("PSD") mask approved or proposed by T1.E1 that reflects the service performance parameters of the technology that CARRIER intends to provision, and CARRIER will notify AT&T-13STATE if and when a change in PSD mask is made. AT&T-13STATE shall use such PSD information solely for inventory and spectrum management purposes and in all cases, will manage the spectrum and differing xDSL services in a competitively neutral manner consistent with all relevant industry standards. In the event that the FCC or the industry establishes long-term standards, practices and policies relating to spectrum compatibility and management that differ from those referenced in this Agreement, the Parties shall comply with such standards, practices and policies and will establish a mutually agreeable transition plan and timeframe for implementation; provided, however, if CARRIER is providing xDSL technologies for which there was previously no standard, then CARRIER must begin the process of bringing its deployed xDSL technology(ies) and equipment into compliance with such standards at its own expense within thirty (30) days after general availability.
