The following prohibited actions are considered per se impediments to  the  development of competition; however, the Commission is not limited in any  manner to these enumerated impediments and may consider other actions which  impede competition to be prohibited:(1) unreasonably refusing or delaying     interconnections or collocation or providing inferior connections to another telecommunications carrier;(2) unreasonably impairing the speed, quality, or     efficiency of services used by another telecommunications carrier;(3) unreasonably denying a request of another     provider for information regarding the technical design and features, geographic coverage, information necessary for the design of equipment,  and traffic capabilities of the local exchange network except for proprietary information unless such information is subject to a proprietary agreement or protective order;(4) unreasonably delaying access in connecting     another telecommunications carrier to the local exchange network whose product or service requires novel or specialized access requirements;(5) unreasonably refusing or delaying access by any     person to another telecommunications carrier;(6) unreasonably acting or failing to act in a manner     that has a substantial adverse effect on the ability of another telecommunications carrier to provide service to its customers;(7) unreasonably failing to offer services to     customers in a local exchange, where a telecommunications carrier is certificated to provide service and has entered into an interconnection agreement for the provision of local exchange telecommunications services, with the intent to delay or impede the ability of the incumbent local exchange telecommunications carrier to provide inter-LATA telecommunications services;(8) violating the terms of or unreasonably delaying     implementation of an interconnection agreement entered into pursuant to Section 252 of the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996;(9) unreasonably refusing or delaying access to or     provision of operation support systems to another telecommunications carrier or providing inferior operation support systems to another telecommunications carrier;(10) unreasonably failing to offer network elements     that the Commission or the Federal Communications Commission has determined must be offered on an unbundled basis to another telecommunications carrier in a manner consistent with the Commission's or Federal Communications Commission's orders or rules requiring such offerings;(11) violating the obligations of Section 13-801; and(12) violating an order of the Commission regarding     matters between telecommunications carriers.

(Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2026)Sec. 13-517. Provision of advanced telecommunications services.(a) Every Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (telecommunications carrier that  offers or provides a noncompetitive telecommunications service) shall offer or  provide advanced telecommunications services to not less than 80% of its  customers by January 1, 2005.(b) The Commission is authorized to grant a full or partial waiver of the  requirements of this Section upon verified petition of any Incumbent Local  Exchange Carrier ("ILEC") which demonstrates that full compliance with the  requirements of this Section would be unduly economically burdensome or  technically infeasible or otherwise impractical in exchanges with low  population density.  Notice of any such petition must be given to all  potentially affected customers.  If no potentially affected customer requests  the opportunity for a hearing on the waiver petition, the Commission may, in  its discretion, allow the waiver request to take effect without hearing.  The  Commission shall grant such petition to the extent that, and for such duration  as, the Commission determines that such waiver:(1) is necessary:(A) to avoid a significant adverse economic         impact on users of telecommunications services generally;(B) to avoid imposing a requirement that is         unduly economically burdensome;(C) to avoid imposing a requirement that is         technically infeasible; or(D) to avoid imposing a requirement that is         otherwise impractical to implement in exchanges with low population density; and(2) is consistent with the public interest,     convenience, and necessity.  The Commission shall act upon any petition filed under this subsection within  180 days after receiving such petition.  The Commission may by rule establish  standards for granting any waiver of the requirements of this Section.  The  Commission may, upon complaint or on its own motion, hold a hearing to  reconsider its grant of a waiver in whole or in part.  In the event that the  Commission, following hearing, determines that the affected ILEC no longer  meets the requirements of item (2) of this subsection, the Commission shall  by order rescind such waiver, in whole or in part.  In the event and to the  degree the Commission rescinds such waiver, the Commission shall establish an  implementation schedule for compliance with the requirements of this Section.(c) As used in this Section, "advanced telecommunications services" means  services capable of  supporting, in at least one direction, a speed in excess of 200 kilobits per  second (kbps) to the network demarcation point at the subscriber's premises.
