This is a quagmire;but it boils down to "if the FCC says they're exempt, then they're exempt and have a 'rural monopoly'" (there's a lot of caselaw and a number of FCC Report and Orders (and further Report and Orders and Notices of Rulemaking and Public Notices and the like) on the subject, but it goes back essentially to the definition found in 47 USC § 153(37) of a "Rural Telephone Company").Not sure which rural LECs are exempt from competition.
Just being covered by an NECA (National Exchange Carriers Association) tariff doesn't automatically grant this, since there is a subsection in 47 CFR § 61 dealing with "Rural CLEC's" and their exemptions. This landscape is changing constantly, and it has been quite some time since I've traced the threads in the various R&O's and PN's from the FCC on the subject; it would take probably a full week just to get up to date on the current state of things, since it's been five years since I last looked at it.
This is one case where you would have to ask a good communications attorney to know for sure.
