Granting SWBT's  !petitions serves the public interest by permitting minor LATA modifications in cases where such  !4modifications are necessary to meet the needs of local subscribers and will not have any  !significant effect on competition. Accordingly, we approve SWBT's 64 petitions for limited  !LATA modifications in order to provide flatrated, nonoptional ELCS. These LATAs are  !modified solely for the limited purpose of allowing SWBT to provide flatrated, nonoptional  !3local calling service between the specific exchanges or geographic areas identified in the requests.  !In each case, the LATA is not modified to permit the BOC to offer any other type of service,  !including calls that originate or terminate outside the specified areas. Thus, flatrated, non !optional ELCS between the specified exchanges will be treated as intraLATA, and the provisions  X9 4 !of the Act governing intraLATA service will apply.9 ~ {O ' x ԍThe BOC may provide ELCS service without meeting the Section 271 requirements, see 47 U.S.C.   {O|'271(a), and a separate affiliate is not required. See 47 U.S.C.  272(a)(2)(B).  Other types of service between the  !specified exchanges will remain interLATA, and the provisions of the Act governing interLATA  X 4service will apply.) $~ yO' x ԍThe BOC may not provide other types of service (such as measuredrate, optional, or toll service) between  {O'the specified exchanges without meeting the Section 271 requirements.
