About Telephone Service Providers
Telephone service providers furnish telephone services to businesses. They offer a variety of calling plans, packages, and features. Local exchange carriers (LEC) are telephone service providers that offer public, switched telephone service within a local access and transport area (LATA). They may provide unlimited local calling, long distance service, Internet access, and support for pagers, cell phones, and other wireless devices. Local telephone service providers have a local exchange, a central office at which lines from homes and businesses terminate. LECs connect to other local exchanges within the LATA and to inter-exchange carriers (ICX) that provide long-distance service. Some LECs are regional Bell operating companies (RBOC) which own two or more Bell operating companies (BOC). Others are independent carriers that were created after the dissolution of the AT&T / Bell System during the 1980s. In the United States, both types of telecommunications carriers are subject to state and federal regulations.
