For purposes of 3 AAC 53.200 - 3 AAC 53.299, a competitive local exchange market is, as designated by an order of the commission, a local exchange or a group of local exchanges within one certificated service area where multiple unaffiliated telecommunications providers are certificated to provide local exchange service. However, upon petition or on its own motion, the commission by order may designate an area as a competitive local exchange market or a noncompetitive area based on the nature and extent of competition available, including competition by a competitor that is not certificated.
