§ VII. STANDARDS OF SERVICE.

A.

The New Mexico Public Regulation Commission has general and exclusive power and jurisdiction to regulate and supervise Company in respect to its rates and service regulations, all in accordance with provisions of the Rural Telecommunications Act of New Mexico. A copy of Company's rates and service regulations are on file for public reading at the office of Leaco during normal working hours.

B.

If at any time the Rural Telecommunications Act of New Mexico is amended or repealed, with the effect of such action being the deletion of standards of service in the City as are now in effect and no successor is named by the State of New Mexico, the City reserves the right to establish standards of service consistent with those now in effect in the City or at the time of any such amendment or repeal. If standards of service are established by the City and the City becomes the regulative authority for such standards of service, the costs (in excess of established costs) for such standards of service will be borne by the rate payers of the City.
