Cant say it's 100% correct, but based on LERG8's V & H coordinates, the two rate centers are 482 miles apart. It also shows that each rate center has two unique NPA's in them as well. I would think they would not be in the same local calling area, but I don't know Canadian tarrifs. Using a PERL script... Distance between Coord 1 (03003, 00615 [45.140833, -61.986178]), and coord 2 (03986, 01776 [45.397008, -71.891538]) is approximately: 482 miles Jamie M. -----Original Message----- From: VoiceOps <voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org> On Behalf Of voiceops-request at voiceops.org Sent: Saturday, June 15, 2019 12:00 PM To: voiceops at voiceops.org Subject: [EXTERNAL] VoiceOps Digest, Vol 118, Issue 8 Send VoiceOps mailing list submissions to voiceops at voiceops.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to voiceops-request at voiceops.org You can reach the person managing the list at voiceops-owner at voiceops.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of VoiceOps digest..."

I noticed that the LCA file examples I've been given only lists the rate center names, not the provinces. Yet in LERG6 and LERG8, short and long names for rate centers are not unique across all provinces / states. Sherbrooke QC and Sherbrook NS, for example, is listed as SHERBROOKE for both it's shot and long name. Should the LCA file distinguish these two rate centers by listing SHERBROOKE, QC as PQSHERBROOKE? If not, what field in NNACL should I use to distinguish them? Or do I have to start creating my own rate center names?

BroadWorks distinguishes the same names based on LATA. E.g., there are tons of ?Springfield?s and ?Albany?s in the US and Canada but in different LATAs. If you?re using BroadWorks LCA, then you?ll also need to load an NNACL-formatted file. (I think that?s usually excerpted from LERG6.) Of course, BroadWorks doesn?t really care where you get the data. It?s certainly possible to create inconsistencies. On Fri, Jun 14, 2019 at 13:36 Julien Lamarche <jlam at credil.org> wrote:
