 False premise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A false premise is an incorrect proposition that forms the basis of a logical syllogism.
Since the premise (proposition, or assumption) is not correct, the conclusion drawn may be in error.
For this reason, an argument based on false premises can be much more difficult to refute, or even discuss, than one featuring a normal logical error, as the truth of its premises must be established to the satisfaction of all parties.

 Step 6: On-Premise Priority 1 Equipment - Schools and Libraries - USAC
Since the on-premise components are merely a part of service provider infrastructure used to provide a telecommunications or Internet access service, then the service provider must maintain the components as part of the service provided.
Since the on-premise Priority 1 components are a part of the service provider's infrastructure, and not the applicant's, the components cannot be used by the applicant for any purpose beyond the telecommunications or Internet access service being obtained from that service provider.
For instance, on-premise components such as network hubs and network switches that are used to distribute transmissions to multiple locations within a local area network would not meet this requirement because if they were removed then the communication paths among the various network points would be broken.
