§ 56.208. DESIGNATION OF PROVIDER. (a) In determining
which nominated telecommunications provider the commission will
designate to provide service to the petitioning premises, the
commission shall consider the relative estimated cost to be
incurred by contiguous providers to serve the petitioning premises
and give preference to the provider having the least cost
technology that meets the quality of service standards prescribed
by the commission applicable to that provider.
(b) The commission may not designate a telecommunications
provider to serve the petitioning premises unless the premises are
located in an area that is contiguous to an area in which the
telecommunications provider has previously been designated
eligible to receive universal service funding under Section
56.023(b). This subsection does not apply if the commission
designates the provider after the provider voluntarily agrees to
provide service to the petitioning premises.
