What it is and who needs it.
What the telecom bond actually covers
Louisiana regulates competition in the local telephone market through the Public Service Commission, under the local-competition regulations adopted in General Order R-31839 (March 11, 2014). Certification as a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) or reseller comes with conditions, and one of them can be a financial security.
The security requirement is most explicit for resellers of prepaid basic local service: a certificated carrier reselling prepaid service must furnish a performance bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or other approved security sufficient to cover customer prepayments and deposits it collects. The bond is a continuing obligation that automatically renews.
Because the LPSC sizes the security to your service and customer exposure, there is no single statutory dollar figure — you post the amount the Commission directs. The security cannot be cancelled without at least 60 days' written advance notice to the Commission. Pricing starts from $100; your exact price is set at the application, which collects no credit information.
