A method and apparatus for transferring service between local exchange carriers. The method includes connecting a second local exchange carrier switch to a first local exchange carrier distribution frame while a first local exchange carrier switch is connected to the first local exchange carrier distribution frame. The method also includes initiating a disconnection of the first local exchange carrier switch from the first local exchange carrier distribution frame.

Device and method for transferring unbundled network elements between local exchange carriers

A method is provided for transferring service from a first local exchange carrier. The method includes connecting an interface of a second local exchange carrier to a distribution frame of the first local exchange carrier. The interface and a first switch of the first local exchange carrier each physically connect to at least one common terminal of the distribution frame. The method also includes disconnecting the first switch from the common terminal of the distribution frame.

The present invention is directed to a device and method for transferring service of a local loop from one local exchange carrier to another competing local exchange carrier. A first local exchange carrier has a first switch connected to an distribution frame, which is connected to subscribers. A second local exchange carrier sets up a second switch and an interface in proximity to the distribution frame, and &ldquo;half-taps&rdquo; the interface with the connection between the first switch and the distribution frame. The second local exchange carrier has control over the first switch to connect or disconnect it from the distribution network.
