Network Change: Copper Facilities that feed an area in the Mount Sterling, Kentucky wire center (MTSTKYMA) along and adjacent to Kentucky Highway 11 will be replaced with fiber fed digital loop carrier. This plan calls for placement of fiber feeder cable and a new Remote Terminal cabinet as part of an AT&T Public Requirement project in response to a Kentucky Department of Transportation Highway Relocation project KDOT Project 7-317.00.

Description of Type of Changes Planned: The Kentucky Department of Transportation has approved funding, beginning in 2012, to realign and widen Kentucky Highway 11 from immediately north of Interstate Highway 64 to a point 1 mile south of the the Montgomery County/Bath County line as authorized under KDOT Relocation Project 7-317.00. The department has requested the relocation of all utilities within the construction zone of the project. Approximately 50 percent of the existing combined fiber/copper cable route, in addition to one Remote Terminal (RT) cabinet and one Serving Area Interface (SAI) falls within the proposed highway relocation. Replacement of the existing facilities requires the placement of fiber feeder cable, copper distribution cable and a new RT cabinet and associated SAI. There are 49 existing ADSL customers in the distribution area served by the RT site to be replaced. A Gigabit Ethernet ADSL solution is proposed to eliminate the need to increase the size of 4,000 feet of copper cable by 100 pairs in order to energize 100 copper feeder pairs to the replacement SAI. Under this plan, Copper Facilities that feed an area in Mount Sterling (Montgomery County) on Kentucky Highway 11 from the junction with U. S. Highway 460 to Kentucky Highway 537, including all streets and roads connected to Kentucky Highway 11 between those two points; and on U. S. Highway 460 from the junction with Kentucky Highway 11 to a point 1.5 east of the junction with Aarons Run Rd will be replaced with fiber fed digital loop carrier. This project proposes the cutover of facilities to two systems of Reltec DISCS digital loop carrier. Currently, total loop length is 33.6 kf from the Central Office.

Description of Reasonably Foreseeable Impact of the Planned Changes: After this Plan is implemented and work is completed, metallic feeder facilities from the Central Office to the affected area will no longer be available. Unbundled loops that are defined as compatible with Digital Loop Carrier (DLC), e.g., those defined to transport POTS-grade service, will be transferred to the new DLC system without consequence. Competitive carriers employing unbundled loops that are defined to require metallic facilities, e.g., Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) or line sharing circuits will be notified individually. This notification is intended to allow the affected carrier to convert the circuit to one compatible with DLC. Currently, there are no competitive carrier circuits of this type on the affected copper facilities. It should be noted that if a competitive carrier obtains an unbundled loop that has been defined to transport POTS-grade service, but then utilizes this loop to provide DSL service, AT&T will have no knowledge of the presence of DSL. In such a case, AT&T has no basis to notify the carrier and the ability of the competitive carrier to provide DSL service may be affected.

Location of Change: Network Change: Copper Facilities that feed an area in the Mount Sterling, Kentucky wire center (MTSTKYMA) along and adjacent to Kentucky Highway 11 will be replaced with fiber fed digital loop carrier. This plan calls for placement of fiber feeder cable and a new Remote Terminal cabinet as part of an AT&T Public Requirement project in response to a Kentucky Department of Transportation Highway Relocation project KDOT Project 7-317.00.
