TITLE XXV INCORPORATION AND REGULATION OF CERTAIN UTILITIES AND CARRIERS
Chapter 392 Telephone and Telegraph Companies
Section 392.520. Private shared tenant services, coin operated telephone services, regulation of.

392.520. 1. The commission shall have jurisdiction over the provision of private shared tenant services and customer-owned coin telephone telecommunications services, but shall subject such services to the minimum regulation permitted by this chapter for competitive telecommunications services. The commission shall exempt the provision of private shared and customer-owned coin telephone telecommunications services from the tariff filing requirements of sections 392.220, 392.230, and 392.500 and may exempt the provision of such telecommunications services from the provisions of subdivisions (1) and (3) of section 392.390 and from the provisions of section 386.370.

2. The commission shall establish the rates or charges and terms of connection for access by such services to the local exchange network. In so doing, the commission shall consider the network integrity of the principal provider of local exchange service and the impact of private shared tenant services on the cost to provide, and rates or charges, for local exchange service. If the commission finds, upon notice and investigation, that tenants in private shared tenant services locations have no alternative access to a local exchange telecommunications company providing basic local telecommunications service, it may require the private shared tenant services provider to make alternative facilities available on reasonable terms and conditions at reasonable prices.
