1990 -1992

GTE North, Inc. was an operating company consisting of ten study area jurisdictions: Illinois (GTIL), Indiana (GTIN), Michigan (GTMI), Ohio (GTOH), Pennsylvania (GTPA), Wisconsin (GTWI), Iowa (GTIA), Minnesota (GTMN), Missouri (GTMO) and Nebraska (GTNE). GTE also set up General Office (GTGO) as a study area jurisdiction, however, this is not a study area but GTE Telephone Corporate Operations.

GTE Corporate Telephone Operations (GTGO) is not an entity providing local exchange telecommunications services. GTGO is GTE's corporate entity overseeing its nationwide local exchange carrier operations. All of GTGO's costs are reimbursed dollar for dollar by GTE's study areas, with the exception of the costs of GTGO-owned assets such as furniture, computer equipment, capital lease, etc. GTE's study areas pay GTGO a rate of return on these GTGO-owned assets. GTE established GTGO as a legal entity of GTE North, Inc. and the operating results of GTGO are reported as part of the GTE North, Inc. (COSA - GTMW.) GTGO only files the ARMIS 43-01 and 43-03 Reports.
