Line Sharing. 1.2.10.1 ‘Line Sharing’ is an arrangement by which VERIZON facilitates SPRINT’s provision of ADSL (in accordance with T1.413), Splitterless ADSL (in accordance with T1.419), RADSL (in accordance with TR # 59), Multiple Virtual Line (MVL) (a proprietary technology), or any other xDSL technology that is presumed to be acceptable for shared line deployment in accordance with FCC rules, to a particular Customer location over an existing copper Loop that is being used simultaneously by VERIZON to provide analog circuit-switched voice grade service to that Customer by making available to SPRINT, solely for SPRINT’s own use, the frequency range above the voice band on the same copper Loop required by SPRINT to provide such services. This Agreement addresses line sharing over loops that are entirely copper loops. The Parties do not intend anything in this Agreement to prejudice either SPRINT’s position that VERIZON is obligated to provide line sharing on loops constructed of fiber optic cable, digital loop carrier electronics, and copper distribution cable, or VERIZON’s position that VERIZON is obligated to provide line sharing only over copper loops or copper sub-loops. SPRINT does not waive any right it may have under Applicable Law to request VERIZON to provide to SPRINT, pursuant to an appropriate written amendment to this Agreement to be negotiated by the Parties in accordance with the Act, line sharing over loops constructed of fiber optic cable, digital loop carrier electronics, and copper distribution cable; provided, that VERIZON shall be obligated to provide line sharing over such loops, only to the extent required by Applicable Law. VERIZON does not waive any right it may have under Applicable Law to decline to provide line sharing over loops that are not copper loops or over sub-loops that are not copper sub-loops. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1.7 below, to the extent required by Applicable Law, VERIZON shall provide Line Sharing to SPRINT for SPRINT’s provision of ADSL (in accordance with T1.413), Splitterless ADSL (in accordance with T1.419), RADSL (in accordance with TR # 59), MVL (a proprietary technology), or any other xDSL technology that is presumed to be acceptable for shared line deployment in accordance with FCC rules, on the rates, terms and conditions set forth herein. In order for a Loop to be eligible for Line Sharing, the following conditions must be satisfied for the duration of the Line Sharing arrangement: (i) the Loop must consist of a copper loop compatible with an xDSL service that is presumed to be acceptable for shared-line deployment in accordance with FCC rules; (ii) VERIZON must be providing simultaneous circuit-switched analog voice grade service to the Customer served by the Loop in question; (iii) the VERIZON Customer’s dial tone must originate from a VERIZON End Office Switch in the Wire Center where the Line Sharing arrangement is being requested; and (iv) the xDSL technology to be deployed by SPRINT on that Loop must not significantly degrade the performance of other services provided on that Loop.
