Local Access and Transport Area. The area, under Judge Green's
decree, where the local Bell company could carry traffic. If the call
crosses LATA lines, it must be carried by a long distance company.

Many, perhaps most, Bell companies have now been given the right (on a
state by state basis) to carry interLATA, interstate and international
long distance calls.
