Certificated telecommunications utility services which provide connections for or are related to the origination or termination of intrastate telecommunications services that are generally, but not limited to, interexchange services.
Access services are specific sets of information transfer capabilities that are furnished to users at telecommunications network POTs, or points-of-termination. They provide access to network transport services. One example would be subscriber access lines, which involve the connection between a network POT (more commonly recognised in this case as a Network Interface NI) and a local exchange carrier switching system. Another example could be trunks between local exchange carrier switching system and interexchange carrier points-of-presence (The POT at the POP is identified as the point of interface POI). To enable end-to-end connections there must be originating and terminating access service.
