Universal Citation: HI Admin Rules 6-80-6

Current through August, 2024

(a) It is the commission's policy to:

(1) Encourage voluntary negotiations and agreements between telecommunications carriers for access, interconnection, unbundling, network termination, and other telecommunications-related matters; and

(2) Assist the telecommunications carriers in their negotiations at any point in the negotiations by mediating or, as necessary, arbitrating the carriers' differences.

(b) An agreement regarding interconnection, network termination, and other telecommunications-related matters must not discriminate against a telecommunications carrier not a party to the agreement, impede competition, or conflict with the public interest, convenience, and necessity. To that end, the commission retains the authority to monitor the progress of any negotiations and to review any negotiated agreement.
