§ 8-1-19-1. Public policy
Sec. 1. Whereas the telephone system of this country is a nationwide interconnected and interrelated system, no part of which may be suspended without seriously and adversely affecting the whole, and whereas the continuous operation of such communications system is essential to the operation of the economic life of the country and is necessary to prevent extreme hardship, now, therefore, it is legislatively determined that the remedy of suspension or revocation of the permit of a telephone company for violation of law or the rules or orders of lawful authority is wholly inadequate and that additional remedy therefor is necessary and proper and that the intrinsic nature of the telephone business justifies such additional remedy for such industry.
