PSC 168.01 PSC 168.01 Purpose.

PSC 168.01(1) (1) The purpose of this chapter is to set forth the regulation of resellers and resale, to identify those entities that are telecommunications providers that must be certified as resellers under s. 196.01 (1d) (c), Stats., and to state the requirements for consideration of petitions from telecommunications providers requesting certification as alternative telecommunications utility resellers. Regulations regarding the provision of operator services by telecommunications resellers and providers of private pay telephone services are specified. This chapter also describes the telecommunications services of telecommunications utilities and specified alternative telecommunications utilities that are, or are not, available for resale. This chapter sets forth procedures for petitioning to add or remove a service from those available for resale, or to impose, remove, or modify any restriction or condition unreasonably impairing the ability of a reseller to resell a specific telecommunications service. This chapter addresses neither the right nor the manner by which a telecommunications utility may secure or claim an exemption, suspension, or modification of the duty to resell, as addressed in s. 196.219 (2), Stats., and 47 USC 251 (f).
