Conversion of Exchange Service to Network Elements Sample Clauses

The "Conversion of Exchange Service to Network Elements" clause defines the process by which traditional exchange telephone services are transitioned to individual network elements. In practice, this means that instead of purchasing a bundled telephone service, a customer or carrier can request to unbundle and obtain specific components, such as switching or transport, as separate network elements. This clause facilitates greater flexibility and competition by allowing customers to tailor their telecommunications services to their needs, and it addresses the need for regulatory compliance with unbundling requirements.
Conversion of Exchange Service to Network Elements. D.1 Installation intervals for service established via unbundled loops will be handled in the same time frame as BellSouth provides services to its own customers, as measured from the date upon which BellSouth receives the order to the date of customer delivery. D.2 BellSouth will make best effort to install unbundled loops and other network elements by the Customer Desired Due Date (CDDD) where facilities exist. Service requests with a shorter than standard interval or that require out-of-hours provisioning may be subject to additional charges. D.3 On each unbundled network element order in a wire center, BTI and BellSouth will agree on a cutover time at least 48 hours before that cutover time. The cut over time will be defined as a 60-minute window within which both the BTI and BellSouth personnel will make telephone contact to complete the cut over. D.4 Within the appointed 60-minute cut over time, the BTI contact will call the BellSouth contact designated to perform cross-connection work and when the BellSouth contact is reached in that interval, such work will be promptly performed. D.5 If the BTI contact fails to call or is not ready within the appointed interval and if BTI has not called to reschedule the work at least eight (8) hours prior to the start of the interval, BellSouth and BTI will reschedule the work order. D.6 If the BellSouth contact is not available or not available at any time during the 60-minute interval, BTI and BellSouth will reschedule. D.7 The standard time expected from disconnection of a live Exchange Service to the connection of the unbundled element to the BTI collocation arrangement is 15 minutes. D.8 If unusual or unexpected circumstances prolong or extend the time required to accomplish the coordinated cut-over the Party responsible for such circumstances is responsible for the reasonable labor charges of the other Party. Delays caused by the customer are the responsibility of BTI. D.9 If BTI has ordered Service Provider Number Portability (SPNP) as part of an unbundled loop installation BellSouth will coordinate implementation of SPNP with the loop installation. D.10 If BellSouth provides in practice shorter scheduling lead times and/or cutover windows than those specified in this section for the same services for other carriers, it will do the same for BTI.
