Act 48 defines an ILEC by incorporating the definition contained in the Federal Telecommunications Act. 47 U.S.C. 251 (h) defines an ILEC as an entity that was providing telephone exchange service on 2/8/96. Consequently, the portion of Sec. 8 (6) that refers to ILECs would be applicable to those entities providing telephone exchange service on 2/8/96. All others would be providers as referenced in Sec. 8 (6) (b), which states that “for all other providers in an exchange, the fee per linear foot for the provider’s facilities located in the public right-of-way in that exchange shall be the same as that of the incumbent local exchange carrier.”
