        <idAbs>&lt;div style="text-align:Left;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Download spatial layer from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="https://ky.box.com/s/4ii7n4fop016txq6814dzqe7inu9pfev"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Box&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</idAbs>

        <descript>
            <abstract>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.</abstract>
            <purpose>This data set is used by the Kentucky Public Service Commission as basic reference information for defining the area of operation of local exchange carriers, for working with area codes (particularly the creation of new ones), and for rate cases.</purpose>
            <langdata Sync="TRUE">en</langdata>
            <supplinf>Kentucky Windstream and Windstream Kentucky are two different operating companies.</supplinf>

The counties were compiled by Natural Resources Environmental Protection Cabinet at a scale of 1:24,000.  The exchange areas were digitized with ArcView 3+ heads-up.</procdesc>
