local-exchange network

Read a random definition: confidential communication

A quick definition of local-exchange network:

A local-exchange network is a system that provides telephone service in a specific area. It includes switches, local loops, and transport trunks, which help direct calls to the right place. The wires that connect telephones to the switches are called local loops, and the wires that carry calls from switch to switch are called transport trunks. All these elements are often referred to as a bundle. Federal law requires that companies who control a local-exchange network allow competition by selling access to their network.

A more thorough explanation:

A local-exchange network is a system that provides telephone service on a local basis. It includes switches, local loops, transport trunks, billing databases, and operator services. Switches direct calls to the appropriate destination, local loops connect telephones to the switches, and transport trunks carry calls from switch to switch.

For example, when you make a phone call to your neighbor, the call goes through the local-exchange network. The switch directs the call to your neighbor's phone through the local loop, and the transport trunk carries the call to your neighbor's switch.

There are federal requirements that a local-exchange carrier who controls a local-exchange network permit competition by selling some access, including unbundled access, to its local-exchange network. This means that other companies can use the local-exchange network to provide telephone service in the same area.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
