Duct. The term “duct” refers to all SWBT ducts subject to the Pole Attachment Act and the provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 codified as 47 U.S.C. §§ 251(b)(4) and 271(c)(2)(B)(iii). In general, a “duct” is a single enclosed tube, pipe, or channel for enclosing and carrying cables, wires, and other equipment. As used in this Agreement, the term “duct” includes “inner ducts” created by subdividing a duct into smaller channels. Except as the context otherwise requires, the term “duct” refers only to ducts owned or controlled by SWBT and space within those ducts and does not include cables and other telecommunications equipment located within such ducts.
