Description:

Abstract: Local Access and Transport Area (LATA) boundaries

Purpose:

For use in creating telephone maps at the state, county, and local levels.

Supplemental_Information:

Local Access and Transport Area is a term in the U.S. for a geographic area covered by one or more local telephone companies, which are legally referred to as local exchange carriers (LECs). A connection between two local exchanges within the LATA is referred to as intraLATA. A connection between a carrier in one LATA to a carrier in another LATA is referred to as interLATA. InterLATA is long-distance service. The current rules for permitting a company to provide intraLATA or interLATA service (or both) are based on the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Range_of_Dates/Times:

Beginning_Date: 1988

Currentness_Reference:

Although the exchange boundaries remained almost unchanged, some changes have been made in the LATA boundaries to reflect changes in the ownership of exchanges.

Data_Quality_Information:

Completeness_Report:

The data set was derived from digitized telephone exchange boundaries by using the ArcGIS dissolve command to eliminate boundaries between exchanges in the same Lata. The telephone exchange boundaries had previously been digitized in 1989 from 24,000 scale USGS topo maps.
