SUBJECT: Qwest’s Change Request Response - CR # PC010202-1 Process to remove UDC off line to provide DSL to Qwest Customers This letter is in response to Twin Rivers Valley Telephone Change Request (CR) PC010202-1. This CR requests that Qwest create a process to remove UDCs off of working residential lines, to enable Twin Rivers to provide DSL data service to Qwest’s voice customers. Qwest uses many different technologies to provision voice services to its end user customers. UDCs are one of these technologies. UDCs are deployed throughout the Network to meet growth and service demands for POTS (voice) service. The voice paths that are constructed by use of the UDCs are local loops and the UDC is an essential element of such loops. In addition to customer requests for POTS voice service, loops derived from UDCs can be used to provision resold and UNE-P services to CLECS. Removing UDCs would equate to de-constructing the loop, thus taking the voice out of service. Qwest does not have a policy to remove UDCs on a repair call other than when it is determined that the apparatus is degrading the voice service. Qwest has no requirement under the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to de-construct the loop. Therefore, Qwest respectfully denies Twin Rivers Valley Telephone request to remove UDCs.
Sincerely, Neil Houston Staff Advocate Policy & Law Cc: Mary Retka
