Unbundled Network Element (UNE) Non-Recurring
Cost
Study
OSS
UNE
In
this NRC study, GTE provides costs for access to
OSS.
GTE has identified
two
types
of
costs
associated with
OSS
-Transition Costs and Transaction-specific Costs. Transition costs are the
costs to upgrade existing
OSS
and the start-up costs to establish mechanized systems. These
inftastructure changes were required to make GTE’s
OSS
accessible to the CLECs. The
transition costs include the one-time expenses to upgrade the five categories of
OSS:
pre-order,
order, provisioning, repair/maintenance, and billing.
Transaction-specific costs are the costs incurred each time a CLEC places an order; these are the
on-going
OSS
costs to process
an
LSR or ASR. These costs pertain
to
the non-recumng systems
for pre-order, ordering, and provisioning.
The
OSS
UNE
costs are contained in a separate module of this NRC study.
Other
Services
In
addition to the
UNE
costs, GTE provides costs for other services the CLEC may need in the
provisioning of its LSR. These services are:
,.*
CLEC Account Establishment
-
GTE establishes the CLEC account in each state that the
CLEC requests. The NOMC receives the CLEC profile ftom the CLEC’s account manager,
reviews it for completeness, and then enters the CLEC profile information and creates
summary
bill masters in NOCV. Once the CLEC account has been established for a state,
the CLEC may submit
an
LSR for processing.
Customer Service Record Search
-
A CLEC may request GTE to perform a manual
Customer Service Record (CSR) to obtain information about a potential customer’s existing
GTE services.
The
NOMC processes the request and returns the information to the CLEC. (If
the CLEC performs a CSR search electronically via the Web-based Interactive Service
Environment
(WISE),
there is
no
non-recuning cost.)
Coordinated Conversion
-
A Coordinated Conversion may be requested by the CLEC for
Exchange
-
Basic and Complex
UNEs
if it wants to establish a specific appointment for the
completion of the service order. GTE contacts the CLEC for authorization to proceed prior to
beginning work on the order, and contacts it after work is complete. This service includes
only the additional costs caused by coordinated Conversion and is in addition to the cost
of
the underlying LSR. The cost is per occurrence.
The NRC study develops costs for three steps required for a coordinated conversion:
Process
1
-identifies the costs for the NOMC service representative’s call to
provisioning to establish the time of the conversion and to set the appointment.
Process
2
-
identifies the incremental costs of the Facility Assignment Center (FAC)
personnel and Central Office Technician(s) to coordinate and cut the ordered
UNEs
