Abstract
In the order we clarify that sections 251 and 252 apply to advanced telecommunications facilities and services offered by an incumbent local exchange carrier (LEC) and that the facilities and equipment used by incumbent LECs to provide advanced services are network elements and subject to section 251(c). We deny requests to forbear from application of sections 251(c) and/or 271, and we deny requests for large-scale changes in LATA boundaries. We have taken these steps to meet one of the fundamental goals to promote innovation and investment by all participants in the telecommunications marketplace.
