04 N.C. Admin. Code 11 R17-07 - DIALING PARITY
(a) Any CLP
offering basic local exchange service, other than prepaid local exchange
service for which exemptions of Commission Rule R17-2(f) are allowed, shall
offer interLATA and intraLATA toll dialing parity for such basic local exchange
service as prescribed in 47
CFR 51.209.
(b) Dialing parity means the implementation
of the full 2-PIC (Primary Interexchange Carrier) selection methodology. The
full 2-PIC method generally allows customers to presubscribe to a
telecommunications carrier for all 0+ and 1+ interLATA toll calls and
presubscribe to the same or another telecommunications carrier (including, but
not limited to, the customer's local exchange carrier) for all 0+ and 1+
intraLATA toll calls.
(c) Customers
who do not select a carrier for one or both types of long distance calls
(intraLATA and/or interLATA toll calls) will be designated as "no-PIC" by the
CLP for the handling of those types of long distance calls for which no
telecommunications carrier was selected. Customers with the "no-PIC"
designation for either type of long distance call will be required to place
those calls by accessing their choice of carrier through 101XXXX (dial-around)
access codes.
(d) If long distance
carriers must arrange for connection to CLP's facilities in order to
participate in the presubscription process, the carriers must be advised of
that opportunity before orders for exchange service are taken.
(e) Each new customer must be given the
choice of carriers by the service representative in a competitively neutral
manner when the order for the exchange service is placed.
