LNP applies to all LECs no matter what. UNE does not apply to RLECs.<br>
<br>
RLECs must allow LNP and resale upon request, but they are not
obligated to provide an avoided cost discount on resale (ie: they
can make you pay the retail rate for resold products).<br>
<br>
Even CLECs have resale obligations, but since we're not obligated to
provide avoided cost discounts there's typically no reason to do
that. Especially since there's typically more favorable resale or
wholesale conditions under private contracts anyway.<br>

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>
