§ 4931.02.
(A) A telephone company may construct, own, use, and maintain telecommunications lines
and facilities, whether described in its original articles of incorporation or not,
and whether such lines or facilities are wholly within or partly beyond the limits
of this state. It may join with another company or association in conducting, leasing, owning,
using, or maintaining such lines or facilities, on terms agreed upon between the directors
or managers of the respective companies. Such companies may own and hold any interest in such lines or facilities, or become

be consistent with reasonable business practices and applicable industry standards.
