Section 6-80-36 - Separate subsidiary for competitive service
Current through August, 2024
The commission may order or direct a telecommunications carrier that offers or provides both competitive and noncompetitive services to establish a fully separate subsidiary to provide all or part of its competitive service where:
(1) No less costly means is available and effective in fully and properly identifying and allocating costs between the carrier's competitive and noncompetitive services, and the incremental cost of establishing and maintaining such subsidiary would not require increases in rates or charges to levels that would effectively preclude the offering or provision of the affected competitive service;
(2) Establishment of a subsidiary is deemed necessary by the commission to avoid or prevent cross-subsidization; or
(3) Establishment of a subsidiary is deemed necessary by the commission to protect the public interest.
