Minn. Stat. § 237.131 requires a wholesale transport provider to register with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission. “Wholesale transport provider" means any person, firm, association, or corporation that carries, delivers, routes, or transports any telecommunications service subject to the commission's jurisdiction, directly or indirectly, but is not certified in Minnesota to provide retail telecommunications service to the public.
A wholesale transport provider is required to register the company name, address, a contact name, and a telephone number available to other carriers that will be answered within normal business hours, by June 20, 2016, or prior to the wholesale transport provider's initial offering of wholesale transport service in Minnesota, whichever is later. Wholesale transport providers shall update their registration information when changes occur, but no less frequently than annually.
