9basic message telecommunications service, and at any time for basic message
10telecommunications service, a price-regulated telecommunications utility may
11increase its rates for those services to the extent that the change in the revenue
12weighted price indices does not exceed 2 percentage points less than the most recent
13annual change in the gross domestic product price index, as published by the federal

22to the change in the gross domestic product price index shall be 3 percentage points

5telecommunications industry. The commission shall promulgate rules to identify the
6factors that the commission may consider in determining changes in the productivity
7experience of the telecommunications industry. If application of the price regulation
8index formula achieves a negative result, prices shall be reduced so that the
9cumulative price change for services under par. (a), including prior price reductions
10in these services, achieves the negative result.
AB925,4,21 112. Annual permitted price increases under this paragraph may be deferred and
12accumulated for a maximum of 3 years into a single increase. The first permitted
13increase after the telecommunications utility elects to become price regulated shall
14be limited by the most recent annual change in the gross domestic product price
15index, less 2 percentage points, plus or minus any penalty or incentive adjustment.
16For a telecommunications utility with more than 500,000 access lines in use in this
17state, the first permitted increase shall be limited by the most recent annual change
18in the gross domestic product price index, less 3 percentage points, plus or minus any
19penalty or incentive adjustment. The increase in any rate element may not at any
20time exceed 10% or the increase in the gross domestic product price index, whichever
