3 AAC 52.375 - Wholesale service and rates
(a) A certificated
interexchange carrier shall offer all its services for resale to other
carriers. Services must be offered for resale at wholesale rates to the extent
determined appropriate in view of the facilities and general service offerings
of the interexchange carrier.
(b)
The certificated carrier shall maintain a current tariff of wholesale rates and
all special contracts for wholesale rates on file with the commission. The
carrier may reduce wholesale rates without approval of the commission after 30
days' notice to the commission of a tariff revision submitted in accordance
with 3 AAC 48.220 and
3
AAC 48.270. A tariff revision to increase wholesale
rates, to offer new or repackaged wholesale services, or to implement special
contracts for wholesale service is subject to the provisions of
3
AAC 48.220,
3
AAC 48.270, and
3
AAC 48.280 -
3
AAC 48.410 and must also include quantitative data,
including cost-of-service data, in support of the proposed rates.
(c) Repealed 9/16/2005.
(d) Notwithstanding (b) of this section, the
commission will disapprove and require modification of wholesale rates that are
not just and reasonable or that grant an unreasonable preference or advantage
to any customer or subject a customer to an unreasonable prejudice or
disadvantage.
(e) The wholesale
rates for services for resale are not required to be averaged
geographically.
(f) Within 60 days
after receiving a written bona fide request for an unbundled rate element, a
carrier shall offer the rate element by tariff if doing so is not unduly
economically burdensome, is technically feasible, and is otherwise consistent
with existing regulations. The time period for offering the element may be
modified by agreement of the carrier and the entity making the bona fide
request or by order of the commission. A carrier denying a bona fide request
shall, within 30 days after receiving the request, deliver a written denial
stating the reasons for denial to the entity making the request. The carrier
shall also file a copy of the written denial with the commission.
(g) A carrier that does not own or control
transmission facilities is exempt from the requirements of this section if the
carrier has not received a bona fide request for intrastate wholesale service.
If the carrier exempt under this subsection receives a bona fide request for
intrastate wholesale service, the carrier shall comply with (a) - (f) of this
section or apply to the commission for a continued exemption.
