10 infrastructure report with the Commission no later than the

23 to the General Assembly by January 15 of each year. The
24 Commission's annual network infrastructure report shall
25 include any findings of redlining and shall compare the
26 investments in and quality of the networks owned by carriers
27 providing both competitive and noncompetitive services in
28 Illinois to those in other States.
