(220 ILCS 5/13-403) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 13-403)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2026)
Sec. 13-403. Interexchange service authority; approval. The
Commission shall approve an application for a
Certificate of Interexchange Service Authority only upon a showing by the
applicant, and a finding by the Commission, after notice and hearing, that
the applicant possesses sufficient technical, financial and managerial
resources and abilities to provide interexchange telecommunications
service. The removal from this Section of the dialing restrictions by
this amendatory Act of 1992 does not create any legislative presumption for
or against intra-Market Service Area presubscription or changes in
intra-Market Service Area dialing arrangements related to the
implementation of that presubscription, but simply vests jurisdiction in
the Illinois Commerce Commission to consider after notice and hearing the
issue of presubscription in accordance with the policy goals outlined in
Section 13-103.
The Commission shall have authority to alter the boundaries of Market
Service Areas when such alteration is consistent with the public interest
and the purposes and policies of this Article. A
determination by the Commission with respect to Market Service
Area boundaries shall not modify or affect the rights or obligations of any
telecommunications carrier with respect to any consent decree or agreement
with the United States Department of Justice, including, but not limited
to, the Modification of Final Judgment in United States v. Western Electric
Co., 552 F. Supp. 131 (D.D.C. 1982), as modified from time to
time.
