Hi

Consider the scenario where a company need to make its fiber access available to other CSPs and ISPs, provided its installation date is Jan 1, 2024 (past date, fiber already in place). And they don't need to make it available if the installation date is after the cut off date. If a restriction rule needs to be applied based on the installation date of a resource (e.g., GPON Fiber) with exceptions for certain ISPs, would this be considered a TMF679 concern (saleability rule) or a TMF645 concern (serviceability rule)?

I was thinking this would be a serviceability rule as it refers to the technical capability of a service provider to deliver a service to a particular location as the rule is based on the installation date of the fiber, which is a technical characteristic of the network. And exceptions for certain ISPs would be considered a special condition or exception to the general serviceability rule, and therefore, it doesn't fall under the category of a saleability rule. My understanding of saleability rules is that it typically refers to the commercial terms and conditions under which a service is offered, such as pricing, bundling options, or contract terms.

Looking for feedback here. Should this be in TMF679 or TMF645 ?

Thanks,
