The commission, on its own motion or on a complaint that the commission considers to have merit, may assert regulation over a service in a geographic market if:
(1) the incumbent local exchange company or holder of a certificate of operating authority who was previously a dominant carrier is found to again be dominant for the service in that geographic market; or
(2) the provider of services under a certificate of operating authority or service provider certificate of operating authority is found to be dominant for the service in that geographic market.
