In my message where I stated that providing on-line rate inquiry was not a
feature for the local C.O., but for the Long Distance Company, I included
the local operating company as one of many long distance carriers.
 
With the broken up network, most of us are faced with getting our LD service
from more than one carrier.
 
Depending on the state, intra-LATA calls may be provided by the local company
or other carriers.  The only restriction on the intra/inter-LATA situation
placed by Judge Green was that Baby Bells could not carry inter-LATA traffic.
If a state PUC decides to permit other carriers to operate within a LATA,
that's perfectly legal.  Colorado is an example where there is intra-LATA
competition.
