A.Establish minimum consumer protection standards. Establish minimum consumer protection standards that all ILECs must meet when offering a bundled service. An ILEC may provide greater levels of consumer protection than those established in this Chapter.
B.Establish financial treatment of revenues. Establish methods for recording revenue from bundled services that will result in predictable regulatory treatment of those revenues, unless an ILEC is governed by an Alternative Form of Regulation.
C.Establish pricing parameters. Establish the lower limits of bundled service prices, unless an ILEC is governed by an Alternative Form of Regulation.
D.Establish the treatment of certain consumer programs. Establish the applicability of Lifeline, Link-Up, and discounted service for deaf, hard-of-hearing, and speech-impaired persons to all ILECs' bundled services.
