§ 56.206. DENIAL OF PETITION. The commission shall deny
a petition if the commission determines that services cannot be
extended to the petitioning premises at a reasonable cost. In
making that determination, the commission shall consider all
relevant factors, including:
(1) the original cost to be incurred by a designated
provider to deploy service to the petitioning premises, and the
effect of reimbursement of those costs on the state universal
service fund;
(2) the number of access lines requested by the
petitioners for the petitioning premises;
(3) the size of the geographic territory in which the
petitioning premises are included;
(4) the proximity of existing facilities and the
existence of a preferred designated provider under Section 56.213;
and
(5) any technical barriers to the provision of
service.
