§ 56-478.1. Requiring extension of telephone facilities into rural areas
If, from any rural territory not now being served, application be made to the Commission by a group of ten or more persons, natural or artificial, to require an extension of telephone service to such territory, the Commission shall, if necessary to accomplish the purposes sought, fix a time for hearing said application on such terms and conditions as the Commission may prescribe and, if it be established to the satisfaction of the Commission, that a proper guaranteed revenue will accrue to any company which may be required to extend such services to such territory, then the Commission is hereby authorized and empowered to require the telephone company located nearest, or most advantageous to, such territory to construct such extension to such point or points in such territory and to furnish adequate telephone facilities and conveniences to such customer or customers therein as in its judgment is right and proper.
