A common carrier is an incorporated entity that relays animate or
inanimate material, or information, from an origin to a destination,
pursuant to terms published by the incorporated entity, according to
the instructions of its customers as constrained by those terms, for a
fee or for free, and barring unintended exceptions, delivering the
material or information to its destination essentially unchanged from
its condition at the origin. A common carrier by design is available
to the public, and an incorporated entity cannot be construed to be a
common carrier unless it is available to the public. A common carrier
does not discriminate between different items of information except by
volume of information and handling preferences and requirements. A

material except by weight and external dimensions, handling
preferences and requirements, and as required by law.
