Description Of Change |
|
Currently to order a new line with Qwest resale DSL, Eschelon needs to submit 2 LSRs. One LSR for the POTS line and a subsequent LSR for the DSL. When 2 LSRs are issued Qwest does not know that the POTS line will eventually become DSL so facilities to provide a DSL capable loop are not taken into consideration. If Qwest allowed Eschelon to issue 1 LSR for the 1FB POTS line and the DSL then Qwest could provision the loop with DSL capable facilities, if available. Eschelon asks Qwest to allow 1FB POTS and DSL on 1 LSR.

February 27, 2002 Kathy Stichter ILEC Relations Manager Eschelon Telecom Inc. 720 2nd Avenue South, Suite 1200 Minneapolis, MN 55402 SUBJECT: Qwest’s Change Request Response - CR # PC122701-2 Qwest to allow 1FB POTS and DSL on one LSR The original request from Echelon is that Qwest accept a single LSR for both the local service line (POTS) and DSL service at the same time. Upon clarification, Eschelon is now requesting that Qwest: - Manually analyze the available facilities at the location - Choose a facility that supports DSL (if available) - Deploy local service (POTS) on a line that will support DSL Qwest does not offer this type of pre-analysis of a facilities to its retail end-user subscribers. Qwest currently uses a mechanized system that qualifies a facilities based on certain metrics and the facility must already be in place in order to see if it is engineered to support DSL service. In order for Qwest to do the requested analysis upfront, Qwest would need to remove the order from the automatic facility assignment flow and manually assign facilities to the local service line (POTS). Qwest has made extensive investments in the loop qualification tool and process. Qwest has made the business decision not to manually assign POTS facilities in order to allow the addition of DSL for retail end-user subscribers. This service is not a retail service and is not available for resale. Sincerely, Freddi Pennington Resale/PAL/UNE-P Group Manager Qwest Cc: William Campbell, Director Structure & Loops, Qwest Jasmin Epsy, Senior Director Product Marketing, Qwest Teresa Taylor, Senior Vice President Product Management, Qwest
