on request.
(b) Pay telephone access service (PTAS) must be available
in all exchanges.

must be provided where facilities are available.

call.
(f) The CTU must provide to a PTS provider using automated

Services), on the same prices, terms, and conditions that any interexchange
carrier receives from the CTU.
