Chapter 5. Alaska Public Utilities Regulatory Act

Section 325. Registration and Regulation of Alternate Operator Services.

AS 42.05.325. Registration and Regulation of Alternate Operator Services.

(a) An alternate operator service may not operate in the state until it has registered and filed its tariffs with the commission. The application for registration must include the service's name, the address of its principal place of business, and the name and address of each of the officers of the service.

(b) An alternate operator shall identify the entity that is providing the alternate operator service and the cost of the service before the consumer incurs a charge for the call. If requested, the alternate operator shall transfer or assist in the transfer of the consumer's call to the consumer's carrier of choice. The consumer may not be charged for the transfer. The service shall also post on or near the telephone instruments subject to the alternate operator service information indicating that the consumer may have access to the carrier the consumer prefers to use at no additional charge.

(c) In this section, "alternate operator service"

(1) means a connection to intrastate or interstate long-distance telecommunications facilities from a nonresidential location in the state including a hotel, motel, hospital, or customer-owned pay telephone, or from a place where business from consumers is aggregated, by a person that does not own any of the telecommunications facilities being connected through the service;

(2) does not include an intrastate or interstate long-distance carrier that contracts for operator services and charges rates for those services that are no greater than the rates charged by long-distance carriers regulated by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska or by the Federal Communications Commission.
