In connection with, or as a condition of receiving, a certificate of territorial authority under this chapter, the commission may require a communications service provider to notify the commission, after the issuance of a certificate, of any of the following changes involving the provider or the certificate issued:
(1) Any transaction involving a change in the ownership, operation, control, or corporate organization of the provider, including a merger, acquisition, or reorganization.
(2) A change in the provider's legal name or the adoption of, or change to, an assumed business name. The provider shall submit to the commission a certified copy of the:
(A) amended certificate of authority; or
(B) certificate of assumed business name;
issued by the secretary of state to reflect the change.
(3) A change in the provider's principal business address or in the name of the person authorized to receive notice on behalf of the provider.
(4) Any sale, assignment, lease, or transfer of the certificate to another communications service provider, as allowed by section 10 of this chapter. The provider shall identify the other communications service provider to which the sale, assignment, lease, or transfer is made.
(5) The relinquishment of any certificate issued under this chapter. The provider shall identify:
(A) any other certificate of territorial authority issued under this chapter that will be retained by the provider;
(B) the number of Indiana customers in the service area covered by the certificate being relinquished; and
(C) the method by which the provider's customers were or will be notified of the relinquishment, if required in a rule adopted by the commission under section 11(b) of this chapter.
(6) This subdivision does not apply to a provider of commercial mobile service (as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332). A change in the communications service provided in one (1) or more of the service areas identified in the provider's application under section 6(a)(4) of this chapter. However, if new services will be provided in one (1) or more of the service areas, the commission may require the provider to submit a new application under section 6 of this chapter with respect to those services.
(7) A change in one (1) or more of the service areas identified in the provider's application under section 6(a)(4) of this chapter that would increase or decrease the territory within the service area.
