Primary Text
International Carrier. - Only entities which will provide local exchange services and can demonstrably show technical and financial capability to install and operate an international gateway facility shall be allowed to operate as an international carrier.
The entity so allowed shall be required to produce a firm correspondent or interconnection relationships with major overseas telecommunications authorities or carriers within one (1) year from the grant of the authority.
The international carrier shall also comply with its obligations to provide the local exchange service in unserved or underserved areas within three (3) years from the grant of the authority as required by existing regulations: Provided, however, That said carrier shall be deemed to have complied with the said obligation in the event it allows an affiliate thereof to assume such obligation and who complies therewith.
Failure to comply with the above obligations shall be a cause to cancel its authority or permit to operate as an international carrier.
