(b)(1) Provided, however, that the commission may suspend, for a time certain, the operation of the rate or rates for a longer period than nine (9) months beyond the time when such rate or rates would otherwise go into effect if the public utility which filed the rate or rates files a waiver in writing with the commission before the expiration of the previously ordered suspension period consenting to such an additional suspension. The commission may not suspend a rate or rates for any additional period greater than that consented to by the public utility.

(2) The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to any telephone company or telephone cooperative which has fewer than ten thousand (10,000) access lines.
