SECTION 165:55-17-9. Resale of local telecommunications service

(a)   Elimination of resale restrictions. Except as provided in this Subchapter, each telecommunications service provider has the duty not to prohibit, and not to impose unreasonable or discriminatory conditions or limitations on, the resale of its telecommunications services. Telecommunications services may be resold, either on a stand-alone basis, or as part of a package of services.

(b)   Allowable resale restriction. A telecommunications service provider that obtains, at wholesale rates, a telecommunications service that is available at retail only to a specified category of end-users may only resell such service to the same category of end-users.

(c)   Incumbent LEC wholesale rates. Each incumbent LEC has the duty to offer for resale, at wholesale rates, any telecommunications service that the incumbent LEC provides at retail to end-users who are not telecommunications service providers. Wholesale rates of services shall exclude costs attributable to marketing, billing, collection and other costs that will be avoided by the incumbent LEC in providing the service on a wholesale basis.

(d)   Automated Interfaces. To the extent an incumbent LEC provides itself, its affiliate, or its subsidiary automated interface for purpose of service ordering, maintenance, or repair, it shall make such interfaces available to the extent it protects customer privacy and system integrity, to other telecommunications service providers on rates, terms, and conditions that are just, reasonable and nondiscriminatory. The provision of such interfaces shall not permit access to or manipulation of the underlying systems themselves.
