No. 104-104, 100 Stat. 56 (1996) Pacific Centrex Services, Inc.("Applicant") respectfully seeks a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to permit it toprovide facilities-based and resold local exchange services in the State of South Dakota.The Telecommunication Act of 1996presents this Commission with the unique opportunityto expand upon existing pro-competitive telecommunicationspolicies to ensure that all consumers-residential and business--will have access to high quality, low-cost, and innovativetelecommunications services. The Federal Act was adopted to promote competition and reduceregulation in order to secure lower prices and higher quality telecommunications services for theAmerican populace.In accordance with these goals, Congress included provisions in the Federal Act designed tofacilitate increased competition in all aspects of the local exchange market. Section 253 of the Actprohibits states from imposing any requirements that would constitute any barriers to entry into thelocal exchange market. The Federal Act also imposes several requirements on the incumbent localexchange carriers ("LECs") to assist new entrants in the market. Specifically, the Federal Actprohibits all LECs fiom imposing unreasonable or discriminatory conditions or limitations on the
resale of telecommunications services. 47 U.S.C. 5 251(b)(l). Incumbent LECs also must enterreciprocal compensation arrangements for the origination and termination of telecommunicationsservices. 47 U.S.C.5 s 251, 252. Finally, incumbent LECs are required to offer for resale atwholesale rates (based on retail prices minus avoided costs), any telecommunications services thatthe carrier provides to subscribers who are not telecommunications carriers. Applicant seeksauthority from the Commission to provide local exchange services as soon as these rates areavailable.The Federal Act's prohibition against barriers to entry clearly contemplates that the State willnot impose any requirements that are more burdensome than necessary. In light of Applicant'sextensive experience in providing telecommunicationsservices in the State and its intent to providefacilities-based and resold services, Applicant requests that a Certificate be granted without hearingor any other formal proceeding that would delay its expansion into the local resale market.The approval of this Application will further the purposes of the Federal TelecommunicationsAct of 1996 as well as S.D.C.L. 49-3 1.3.
