Sec. 13-505.4. Provision of noncompetitive services.
(a) A telecommunications carrier that offers or provides a
noncompetitive service, service element, feature, or functionality on a
separate, stand-alone basis to any customer shall provide that service,
service element, feature, or functionality pursuant to tariff to all
persons, including all telecommunications carriers and competitors, in
accordance with the provisions of this Article.
(b) A telecommunications carrier that offers or provides a
noncompetitive service, service element, feature, or functionality to any
customer as part of an offering of competitive services pursuant to tariff
or contract shall publicly disclose the offering or provisioning of the
noncompetitive service, service element, feature, or functionality by
filing with the Commission information that generally describes the
offering or provisioning and that shows the rates, terms, and conditions of
the noncompetitive service, service element, feature, or functionality.
The information shall be filed with the Commission concurrently with the
filing of the tariff or not more than 10 days following the customer's
acceptance of the offering in a contract. (c) A telecommunications carrier that is not subject to regulation under an alternative regulation plan pursuant to Section 13-506.1 of this Act may reduce the rate or charge for a noncompetitive service, service element, feature, or functionality offered to customers on a separate, stand-alone basis or as part of a bundled service offering by filing with the Commission a tariff that shows the reduced rate or charge and all applicable terms and conditions of the noncompetitive service, service element, feature, or functionality or bundled offering. The reduction of rates or charges shall be permitted upon the filing of the proposed rate, charge, classification, tariff, or bundled offering. The total price of a bundled offering shall not attribute any portion of the charge to services subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission and shall not be binding on the Commission in any proceeding under Article IX of this Act to set the revenue requirement or to set just and reasonable rates for services subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission. Prices for bundles shall not be subject to Section 13-505.1 of this Act. For purposes of this subsection (c), a bundle is a group of services offered together for a fixed price where at least one of the services is an interLATA service as that term is defined in 47 U.S.C. 153(21), a cable service or a video service, a community antenna television service, a satellite broadcast service, a public mobile service as defined in Section 13-214 of this Act, or an advanced telecommunications service as "advanced telecommunications services" is defined in Section 13-517 of this Act.
