No conditioning will be offered. Spare dark fiber is fiber that is spliced in all segments, point to point but not assigned, and spare dark fiber does not include maintenance spares, fibers set aside and previously documented for CBT’s forecasted growth, defective fibers, or fibers subscribed to by other carriers. SBCT will not request any more than 25% of the spare dark fiber contained in the requested segment. 12.3 Quantities and Time Frames for ordering Dark Fiber: 12.3.1 The minimum number of fiber strands that SBCT can order is two, and fiber strands must be ordered in multiples of two. The maximum number of fiber strands that SBCT can order is no greater than 25% of the spare facilities in the segment requested. Should spare fiber fall below 8 strands in a given location, CBT will provide the remaining spares in quantities of 2 strands. (See definition of spare facilities set forth in Section 13.2.1 above.) 12.3.2 If SBCT wishes to request dark fiber, it must submit a dark fiber facility inquiry, providing SBCT’s specific point to point (A to Z) dark fiber requirements. When SBCT submits a dark fiber facility inquiry, appropriate rates for the inquiry will be charged as outlined in the Pricing schedule. 12.3.3 Dark fiber will be assigned to SBCT only when an ASR is processed. ASRs will be processed on a first-come-first-served basis. Inquiry facility checks do not serve to reserve dark fiber. When SBCT submits the ASR, the ASR will be processed and the dark fiber facilities will be assigned for the charges as set forth in the Pricing Schedule. 12.4 Access Methods specific to Dark Fiber 12.4.1 The demarcation point for dark fiber at central offices, remote terminals and customer premises will be in CBT FOT equipment. This arrangement allows for non-intrusive testing. 12.5 Installation and Maintenance for Dark Fiber 12.5.1 CBT will install demarcations and place the fiber jumpers from the fiber optic terminals to the demarcation point. SBCT will run its fiber jumpers from the demarcation point to SBCT equipment. 13.0 Unbundled Packet Switching 13.1 Where SBCT is unable to obtain spare copper loops necessary to provision an advanced service at the same level of quality as CBT and unable to install a DSLAM at the remote terminal and CBT has placed a DSLAM in the remote terminal, CBT will unbundle and provide access to its DSLAM consistent with the FCC’s UNE Remand Order (CC Docket No. 96-98) or any other applicable FCC or Commission Order. 14.0 Loop Databases 14.1 CBT will provide to SBCT the same access as CBT’s retail customer service representatives have to CBT’s loop or outside plant electronic databases, to the extent any exist, for SBCT’s use in its (i) preordering, and loop qualification, (ii) ordering, (iii) provisioning (iv) maintenance, and repair and (v) billing processes. 14.2 All requests for Two and Four Wire xDSL Compatible Loops will trigger a loop characteristic information process. This loop characteristic information process examines the available loop facilities to the Customer premises in question for information about the loop facilities’ physical characteristics. The loop characteristic information process shall examine all available loop facilities with the goal of finding a Two Wire or Four Wire xDSL Capable Loop that meets SBCT requirements. Until a mechanized process is in place for obtaining loop characteristic information, if ever, all requests for loop characteristic information shall be submitted to CBT on a manual basis. The qualification charge applies when CBT supplies loop characteristic information to SBCT. 14.3 If the result of the loop characteristic information process indicates that the best available loop meets the parameters for a xDSL Compatible loop, SBCT will be so notified. 14.4 If the results of the loop characteristic process indicate that no existing loop meets the parameters for a Two Wire or Four Wire xDSL Compatible Loop, SBCT will be so notified. 14.4.1 If no loop meets the parameters for a Two Wire or Four Wire xDSL Compatible Loop because of the existence of electronics, not including the existence of bridged taps, on the loop and said loop is less than eighteen (18) kilofeet of twenty-six (26) gauge copper equivalent in length, CBT shall, upon SBCT’s request, remove all such intervening electronics in exchange for payment of the conditioning charge by SBCT and provide such loop to SBCT. 14.4.2 If no existing loop meets the parameters for a Two Wire or Four Wire xDSL Compatible Loop due to the existence of a digital loop carrier system, CBT shall, at the request of SBCT, roll such loop to existing parallel copper carrying a not copper-dependent service that is then currently in use. 14.4.3 If no loop meets the parameters for a Two Wire or Four Wire xDSL Compatible Loop because of the existence of load coils on the loop and said loop is less than eighteen (18) kilofeet of twenty-six (26) gauge copper equivalent in length, CBT shall, upon SBCT’s request, remove all load coils in exchange for payment of the load coil removal charge by SBCT and provide such loop to SBCT. 14.4.4 If no existing loop meets the parameters for a Two Wire or Four Wire xDSL Compatible Loop due to the existence of bridged taps, and said loop is less than eighteen (18) kilofeet of twenty-six (26) gauge copper equivalent in length, CBT shall, at the request of SBCT, remove bridged taps in exchange for payment of the bridged taps removal charge by SBCT and provide such loop to SBCT. 14.4.5 If the results of the loop characteristic process indicate that no loop is less than eighteen (18) kilofeet of 26 gauge equivalent length, SBCT will be so notified. If SBCT still would like to purchase this loop, CBT will provide such a loop.
