§ 55.009. INTRALATA CALLS. (a) If federal law prohibits
a local exchange company in this state from providing interLATA

"1-plus" dialed intraLATA call are exclusively designated or
authorized to receive such a call.

certificate of operating authority or a service provider
certificate of operating authority is de facto authorized to
receive a "0-plus" or "1-plus" dialed intraLATA call on the date the
utility receives its certificate, to the extent the utility is not
restricted by Section 54.159.
(c) If federal law allows all local exchange companies to
provide interLATA telecommunications services, the commission
shall ensure that:
(1) a customer may designate a provider of the
customer's choice to carry the customer's "0-plus" and "1-plus"
dialed intraLATA calls; and

to allow the provider to carry those calls.
