SUMMARY: This rule, adopted pursuant to 35-A M.R.S.A. §§104, 111, 301, 307, 704, 1301, 1306 - 1308, 2101, 2102, 2105, 2110, 7101, 7301, and 7503, establishes the minimum requirements for the provision of public and semi-public Customer-Owned Coin-Operated Telephone (COCOT) service and Local Exchange Carrier Coin-Operated Telephone (LECCOT) service. Because the Commission finds that the existence of competition in the pay telephone market furthers the public convenience and necessity, the rule streamlines the COCOT certification process. The rule also provides the procedural requirements for disconnection or termination of COCOT service.
