- I believe that the original LATAs were drawn up by AT&T at divestiture
- (submitted to Judge Greene for approval, of course.
-
- I saw a list recently of the rules that were used. There were only a
- few & if memory serves correctly, they were:
-
- 1) Any LATA that includes part of one "Major Metropolitan Area" may
- not include part of another. [I know the term in "" ain't the right
- term for what I want, but it's something like that. The term
- describes the major metropolitan areas as defined by the Gov't.]
-
- 2) No LATA may cross a state boundary without court approval.
-
- There may have been another rule, but I can't recall it now. I'll
- check when I get to the office tomorrow (where I have the source).
