(A) A “fiber-based collocator” is defined in accordance with TRRO and 47 C.F.R. 51.5.
(B) The term "same building" is to be interpreted to mean a structure under one roof or two or more
structures on one premises which are connected by an enclosed or covered passageway.
(C) A “business line” is defined in accordance with TRRO and 47 C.F.R. 51.5.
4.8 251(c)(3) UNE DS1 and DS3 Loops may not be employed in combination with transport facilities to replace
Special Access services or facilities, except consistently with the other terms and conditions of this
Agreement including, but not limited to, Section 2.0 of this Attachment.
4.9 Hybrid Loops – SBC TEXAS will provide CLEC with access to hybrid loops in accordance with 47 C.F.R.
§51.319(a)(2). A Hybrid Loop is a local loop composed of both fiber optic cable usually in the feeder plant,
and copper wire or cable, usually in the distribution plant.
4.10 When CLEC seeks access to a hybrid loop for the provision of broadband services, SBC TEXAS shall
provide CLEC with nondiscriminatory access to the time division multiplexing features, functions, and
capabilities of that hybrid loop, including DS1 or DS3 capacity (where impairment has been found to exist),
on an 251(c)(3) Unbundled basis to establish a complete transmission path between SBC TEXAS’ central
office and an end user’s customer premises. This access shall include access to all features, functions, and
capabilities of the hybrid loop that are not used to transmit packetized information.
4.11 For narrowband access, SBC TEXAS shall provide non-discriminatory access either to an entire hybrid loop
capable of voice grade services (i.e. equivalent to DS0 capacity) using time division multiplexing; or to a
spare home-run copper loop serving that customer on an 251(c)(3) Unbundled basis.
4.12 Fiber to the Home Loops – A fiber to the home loop (FTTH) is a local loop consisting of entirely fiber cable,
whether dark or lit, and serving an end user’s customer premises. SBC TEXAS shall provide access to
FTTH consistent with the terms set forth below.
4.12.1 New Builds – SBC TEXAS is not required to provide nondiscriminatory access to a fiber-to-the-home loop
on an 251(c)(3) Unbundled basis when SBC TEXAS deploys such a loop to an end user’s customer
premises that previously has not been served by any loop facility.
4.12.2 Over Builds – SBC TEXAS is not required to provide nondiscriminatory access to a fiber-to-the-home loop
on an 251(c)(3) Unbundled basis when SBC TEXAS has deployed such a loop parallel to, or in replacement
of, an existing copper loop facility, except that:
4.12.2.1 SBC TEXAS must maintain the existing copper loop connected to the particular customer premises after
deploying the fiber-to-the-home loop and provide nondiscriminatory access to that copper loop on an
251(c)(3) Unbundled basis unless SBC TEXAS retires the copper loop pursuant to Section 4.12.3 and 47
CFR § 51.319(a)(3)(iii).
4.12.2.2 If SBC TEXAS maintains the existing copper loop pursuant to Section 51.319(a)(3)(ii)(A) of this section need
not incur any expenses to ensure that the existing copper loop remains capable of transmitting signals prior
to receiving a request for access pursuant to that paragraph, in which case SBC TEXAS shall restore the
copper loop to serviceable condition upon request.
