20:10:28:71Equal access investment -- Included costs.

For those companies who implement equal access within the state jurisdiction, equal access investment includes only initial incremental expenditures for software, hardware, and other equipment related directly to the provision of equal access which would not be required to upgrade the capabilities of the office involved except for the provision of equal access. Equal access investment is limited to expenditures for converting central offices which serve competitive interexchange carriers or if there has been a bona fide request for conversion to equal access.
