LNP does not apply to all ILEC's.<br>
Just as the TA96 mainly applied to RBOC's.<br>
The RLEC's are a special case and don't have to sign ICA or LNP
agreements.<br>

have a customer in Northeast Georgia that currently has
their phone service through an ILEC who I have been told
will not sign the sharing agreements with the underlying
VOIP networks, and therefore no one that I can find has any
rate centers in that area. Also, the VOIP carriers have not
been willing to do a off network port request, which when
refused would allow me to continue forward on a complaint
with the regulatory bodies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

have Local Number Portability departments to work through
this stuff, and I need to work with my higher level carriers

they don't know what to do because they have never run into
this before.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
