What are the differences between “Intra” and “Inter” charges?
LATA (Local Access Transport Area) is a geographical area defined by the FCC within which a local telephone company may offer telecommunications services. IntraLATA charges are associated with a call that originates and terminates within the same LATA. Intrastate charges are associated with a call that originates and terminates within the state, but terminated outside the originating LATA. Interstate charges are associated with a call that originates in one state and terminates in a different state.
