A competitive telephone company in its incumbent territory will continue to be obligated to extend or expand its facilities to furnish retail voice service and facilities when the person, firm, or corporation does not have service available from one or more alternative providers of wireline or terrestrial wireless communications services at prevailing market rates. A competitive telephone company shall have the obligation to provide access to emergency 911 service to its end-user retail customers. The SCC shall continue to enforce the Transfers Act regarding competitive telephone companies. The SCC will continue not to have power to regulate contracts between telephone companies and the Commonwealth and its agencies. Orders issued by the SCC pursuant to any authority that it previously had, but which authority ceases to exist upon the effective date of this measure, shall have no effect on a competitive telephone company; however, orders issued pursuant to authority granted, continued, or otherwise preserved under this measure shall continue in effect.
