Essential Services

(1)

For purposes of ORS 759.195 (Price listing of services), a local exchange service is essential if customers require it to efficiently establish, sustain, or discontinue a telecommunications service by means of the public network. The public network is comprised of a system of interconnected telecommunications channels held out by a local exchange carrier for use by the general public.

(2)

A local exchange service is essential if the service is essential for one or more local customer classes.

(3)

If essential and potentially price-listed services are packaged together, the entire package is eligible to be considered for price listing if each essential service in the package is readily available to customers on a separate basis and the package price is equal to or greater than the tariffed rate(s) for the essential service(s) plus the long-run incremental cost(s) of the price-listed service(s).

(4)

Any new service is presumed to be potentially price listed until the Commission determines otherwise. A service is not new if it merely repackages or renames an existing service.

(5)

A service can only be discontinued pursuant to OAR 860-032-0020 (Abandonment of Service), whether the service is essential or potentially price listed.
