Description
Telephone regulatory alternatives; determination of competitiveness. Requires the State Corporation Commission, when determining whether the telephone services of a telephone company are competitive, to consider all wireless communications providers that offer voice communications services to be facilities-based competitors owning wireline network facilities and reasonably meeting the needs of consumers. The measure also requires the Commission, if it determines that 75 percent or more of residential households or businesses in a telephone companys incumbent territory are in areas that are competitive for a telephone service, to expand, for that telephone service throughout the companys incumbent territory, its competitive determination. In such cases, the Commission is further required to apply the same regulatory treatment already adopted for that telephone service in competitive areas. Read the Bill »
