  (a)   a line is connected to another line; and

  (b)   the other line constitutes, or forms part of, a line link;

the first - mentioned line, and the line link referred to in paragraph   (b), together constitute a line link.

  (4)   For the purposes of subsection   (2), a line is connected to another line if, and only if:

  (a)   the lines are connected to each other; or

  (b)   each of the lines is connected to the same facility (other than a line);

in such a way that a communication can be carried, by means of the 2 lines, or by means of facilities including the 2 lines, in the same way as if the 2 lines were a single line.
