282.103 SUNCOM Network; exemptions from the required use.--
(1) There is created within the State Technology Office the SUNCOM Network which shall be developed to serve as the state communications system for providing local and long-distance communications services to state agencies, political subdivisions of the state, municipalities, and nonprofit corporations pursuant to ss. 282.101-282.111. The SUNCOM Network shall be developed to transmit all types of communications signals, including, but not limited to, voice, data, video, image, and radio. State agencies shall cooperate and assist in the development and joint use of communications systems and services.
(2) The State Technology Office shall design, engineer, implement, manage, and operate through state ownership, commercial leasing, or some combination thereof, the facilities and equipment providing SUNCOM Network services, and shall develop a system of equitable billings and charges for communication services.
(3) All state agencies are required to use the SUNCOM Network for agency communications services as the services become available; however, no agency is relieved of responsibility for maintaining communications services necessary for effective management of its programs and functions. If a SUNCOM Network service does not meet the communications requirements of an agency, the agency shall notify the State Technology Office in writing and detail the requirements for that communications service. If the office is unable to meet an agency's requirements by enhancing SUNCOM Network service, the office may grant the agency an exemption from the required use of specified SUNCOM Network services.
