Section 6-82-6 - Obligations of incumbent telecommunications carrier

Consistent with the purpose of fostering competition in the provisioning of pay telephone service, the incumbent telecommunications carrier shall:

(1) Offer to independent pay telephone service providers, on an unbundled basis and under a nondiscriminatory public, tariffed offering, any individual central office coin transmission service that the incumbent carrier provides to its own pay telephone operations;
(2) Offer to independent pay telephone service providers on a nondiscriminatory basis such other services that the incumbent carrier provides to its own pay telephone operations, including, as applicable:
(A) Fraud protection;
(B) Special numbering assignments;
(C) Installation and maintenance of basic pay telephone lines; and
(D) Billing and collection services where the basic, tariffed pay telephone services offered to other pay telephone service providers function only in conjunction with billing and collection services, such as where coin services require the incumbent carrier to monitor coin deposits and such information is not otherwise available to third parties for billing and collection;
(3) Establish the demarcation point for the incumbent carrier's pay telephones at the same demarcation point as that for independent pay telephone service providers;
(4) Discontinue all intrastate and interstate carrier access charge pay telephone service elements and payments and all intrastate and interstate pay telephone subsidies from basic exchange and exchange access revenues; and
(5) Extend dialing parity to all pay telephones.
