Introduction – Access to Network Elements. This Article IX, Unbundled Access – Section 251(c)(3), sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which SBC- AMERITECH agrees to furnish CLEC with access to Network Elements on an unbundled basis (“UNEs”) and the terms to which SBC-AMERITECH agrees to provide Combinations of Network Elements (“UNE Combinations or Combinations”).

Introduction – Access to Network Elements. This Article IX, Unbundled Access – Section 251(c)(3), sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which SBC- AMERITECH agrees to furnish AT&T with access to Network Elements on an unbundled basis (“UNEs”) and the terms to which SBC-AMERITECH agrees to provide Combinations of Network Elements (“UNE Combinations” or “Combinations”).

AT&T shall not combine unbundled Network Elements in a manner that will impair the ability of other Telecommunications Carriers to obtain access to unbundled Network Elements or to interconnect with SBC-AMERITECH’s network.
