The primary purpose of these rules is to establish the process by which the Office will determine if Broadband services and operations proposed to be provided to Non-State Entities are already offered by Telecommunications Providers and, if not, to establish the process by which the Office may provide Broadband services and operations to Non-State Entities.

(2) Nothing in these Division 10 rules is intended or shall be construed to prohibit a Non-State Entity from providing Broadband services and operations to itself and others in compliance with applicable law, or from acquiring Broadband services and operations in compliance with applicable law from a Telecommunications Provider at any time, on terms and conditions agreed to by the Non-State Entity and the Telecommunications Provider.
