Unbundled Loop Facility Qualification. If NEN plans to deploy service enhancing technologies (e.g. ADSL, HDSL, ISDN, etc.) over unbundled copper loops that could potentially interfere with other service enhancing technologies that may be deployed within the same cable sheath, NEN is responsible for notifying GTE of its intent. GTE will determine if there are any existing or planned service enhancing technologies deployed within the same cable sheath that would be interfered with if NEN deployed the proposed technology. If there are existing service enhancing technologies deployed or in the process of being deployed by GTE or other CLECs, GTE will so advise NEN and NEN shall not be permitted to deploy such service enhancing technology. If NEN disagrees with GTE’s determination, the Parties will jointly review the basis for GTE’s decision and attempt to mutually resolve the disagreement.
Unbundled Loop Facility Qualification. If MEBTEL plans to deploy service enhancing technologies (e.g. ADSL, HDSL, ISDN, etc.) over unbundled copper loops that could potentially interfere with other service enhancing technologies that may be deployed within the same cable sheath, MEBTEL is responsible for notifying GTE of its intent. GTE will determine if there are any existing or planned service enhancing technologies deployed within the same cable sheath that would be interfered with if MEBTEL deployed the proposed technology. If there are existing service enhancing technologies deployed or in the process of being deployed by GTE or other CLECs, or if GTE has existing near term plans (within 6 months of the date of facility qualification) to deploy such technology, GTE will so advise MEBTEL and MEBTEL shall not be permitted to deploy such service enhancing technology. If MEBTEL disagrees with GTE's determination, the Parties will jointly review the basis for GTE's decision and attempt to mutually resolve the disagreement.

If NEWSOUTH plans to deploy service enhancing technologies (e.g. ADSL, HDSL, ISDN, etc.) over unbundled copper loops that could potentially interfere with other service enhancing technologies that may be deployed within the same cable sheath, NEWSOUTH is responsible for notifying GTE of its intent. GTE will determine if there are any existing or planned service enhancing technologies deployed within the same cable sheath that would be interfered with if NEWSOUTH deployed the proposed technology. If there are existing service enhancing technologies deployed or in the process of being deployed by GTE or other CLECs, or if GTE has existing near term plans (within 6 months of the date of facility qualification) to deploy such technology, GTE will so advise NEWSOUTH and NEWSOUTH shall not be permitted to deploy such service enhancing technology. If NEWSOUTH disagrees with GTE’s determination, the Parties will jointly review the basis for GTE’s decision and attempt to mutually resolve the disagreement.
Unbundled Loop Facility Qualification. If Mpower plans to deploy service enhancing technologies (e.g. ADSL, HDSL, ISDN, etc.) over unbundled copper loops that could potentially interfere with other service enhancing technologies that may be deployed within the same cable sheath, Mpower is responsible for notifying GTE of its intent. GTE will determine if there are any existing or planned service enhancing technologies deployed within the same cable sheath that would be interfered with if Mpower deployed the proposed technology. If there are existing service enhancing technologies deployed or in the process of being deployed by GTE or other CLECs, or if GTE has existing near term plans (within 6 months of the date of facility qualification) to deploy such technology, GTE will so advise Mpower and Mpower shall not be permitted to deploy such service enhancing technology. If Mpower disagrees with GTE’s determination, the Parties will jointly review the basis for GTE’s decision and attempt to mutually resolve the disagreement. If Mpower orders an unbundled digital loop, pursuant to Sections 5.2.3 or 5.2.4, and provides the industry standard codes indicating the type of service to be deployed on the unbundled digital loop, that shall constitute notification to GTE. GTE will perform the loop qualification as part of the ordering process and no additional charges will apply. If Mpower orders an unbundled analog loop, pursuant to Sections 5.2.1 and 5.2.2, and plans to deploy service enhancing technologies on the unbundled analog loop, notification must be provided separately and apart from the ordering process. GTE will perform the loop qualification, however, additional charges may apply. When Mpower fails to notify GTE of its plans to deploy service enhancing technology over an unbundled analog voice grade loop or Mpower fails to properly order an unbundled digital loop and obtain prior qualification from GTE for the facilities, if Mpower's deployment of such technology is determined to have caused interference with existing or planned service enhancing technologies deployed by GTE or other CLECs in the same cable sheath, GTE will notify Mpower and Mpower will immediately remove such service enhancing technology and shall reimburse GTE for all incurred expense related to this interference.
Unbundled Loop Facility Qualification. If Bayland plans to deploy service enhancing technologies (e.g. ADSL, HDSL, ISDN, etc.) over unbundled copper loops that could potentially interfere with other service enhancing technologies that may be deployed within the same cable sheath, Bayland is responsible for notifying CenturyTel of its intent. CenturyTel will determine if there are any existing or planned service enhancing technologies deployed within the same cable sheath that would be interfered with if Bayland deployed the proposed technology. If there are existing service enhancing technologies deployed or in the process of being deployed by CenturyTel or other CLECs, or if CenturyTel has existing near term plans (within 6 months of the date of facility qualification) to deploy such technology, CenturyTel will so advise Bayland and Bayland shall not be permitted 1 See Telcordia Technologies TR-TSY-000008, Digital Interface Between the SLC-96 Digital Loop Carrier System and Local Digital Switch and TR-TSY-000303, Integrated Digital Loop Carrier (IDLC) Requirements, Objectives and Interface. to deploy such service enhancing technology. If Bayland disagrees with CenturyTel’s determination, the Parties will jointly review the basis for CenturyTel’s decision and attempt to mutually resolve the disagreement.

If there are existing service enhancing technologies deployed or in the process of being deployed by GTE or other CLECs, or if GTE has existing near term plans (within 6 months of the date of facility qualification) to deploy such technology, GTE will so advise NAS and NAS shall not be permitted to deploy such service enhancing technology.

Unbundled Loop Facility Qualification. 4.6.1 Before deploying any service enhancing copper cable technology (e.g., HDSL, ISDN, etc.) over unbundled analog voice grade loop, leased from GTE, pursuant to sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 above, ACI shall notify GTE of such intentions to enable GTE to assess the loop transport facilities to determine whether there are any existing copper cable loop transport technologies (e.g., analog carrier, etc.) deployed within the same cable sheath that would be interfered with if ACI deployed the proposed service enhancing copper cable technology. If GTE believes that interference would occur, GTE will provide ACI with sufficient information to enable ACI to make an independent determination whether interference would occur. If, after discussion with ACI, GTE determines that there are existing copper cable loop transport technologies already deployed within the same cable sheath, or if GTE already has existing near term (within 6 months of the date of facility certification) plans to deploy copper cable loop transport technologies that would be interfered with as described above, GTE will so inform ACI and ACI shall not be permitted to deploy such service enhancing copper cable technologies. GTE may charge ACI the applicable engineering time and labor costs to perform the qualification.
