(b) A telecommunications utility may not be required to extend a service to an area if:
(1) the local exchange company is unable to provide the required access or other service; or
(2) extending the service would, after consideration of the public interest to be served, impose unreasonable costs on or require unreasonable investments by the telecommunications utility.
