used in connection with trunks, off premises stations or other field lines only, subject to the condition that in some cases
standard operation and transmission may not be obtained when such connections are established.

structures or equipment;
In cases where the customer-owned facilities serve locations where it is impracticable because of hazard or
inaccessibility for the Telephone Company to furnish its facilities;
