A. A cellular service company may provide cellular telephone services in a certificated area as authorized by law and the commission, subject to reasonable rules and regulations of the commission or as otherwise provided by law. The provisions of Section 63-9A-6 NMSA 1978 shall not be construed to prevent a certificated cellular service company from providing cellular services in the certificated service territory of a telecommunications company having an exclusive right to provide local exchange service. B. If the commission finds after holding hearings requested by any interested party or by its own motion that more than one cellular service company licensed by the federal communications commission is operating in all or part of a certificated area, then the commission may determine that competition in cellular telephone services exists in such area. C. When the commission has made a determination that cellular telephone services are subject to competition, the commission shall, consistent with the purposes of the Cellular Telephone Services Act, modify, reduce or eliminate rules, regulations and other requirements applicable to the provision for such service including the fixing and determining of specific rates, tariffs or fares for the service. The commission's action may include the detariffing of service or the establishment of minimum rates which will cover the costs for the service.
