Exchange Boundaries

This polygon dataset identifies Carrier of Last Resort (COLR) obligation areas resulting from the Nebraska Public Service Commission's (PSC) NUSF-148 proceedings. Each polygon represents a whole exchange with no COLR transfers or partial-exchange geography within which COLR obligations and associated Nebraska Universal Service Fund (NUSF) high-cost support, funded through the NUSF-139 High Cost mechanism, have been transitioned from an incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) to a different ILEC, or to a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC). The dataset was constructed by overlaying the PSC ILEC Exchange Boundaries layer with the approved NUSF-148 Transition Application Areas. Each NUSF-148 area only supersedes COLR obligation for the specific extent approved by the Commission within one or more exchanges; it does not equal, replace, or redraw the full exchange, and it does not transfer any other ILEC role or obligation for the exchange. Existing ILEC exchange boundaries are unchanged by these Orders and remain the boundary of record for all other purposes (e.g., Neb. Rev. Stat. Section 86-135 boundary-change proceedings, and the Telecommunications Exchange Deregulation Act, LB311, analysis). Resulting polygons are attributed and grouped hierarchically by (1) the new COLR carrier assuming the obligation, then (2) the ILEC/carrier from which the obligation was transferred, within (3) the affected exchange(s).

Telephone exchanges in Kentucky define a geographic area in which telephone prices and services are the same. This may be referred to as a rate area. The concept of exchange area is based on geography and regulation, not equipment . An exchange area polygon has only one operating company, which may be referred to as a local telephone company or incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC or LEC). Area Codes and LATAs (Local Access Transport Area, which is the area local telephone companies are permitted to offer local or long distance telecommunications services), are defined by grouping exchange areas.
