Sec.  53.101   Joint marketing of local and long distance services by interLATA
carriers.

   (a) Until a BOC is authorized pursuant to section 271(d) of the Act to
   provide interLATA services in an in-region State, or until February 8, 1999,
   whichever is earlier, a telecommunications carrier that serves greater than
   5 percent of the Nation's presubscribed access lines may not jointly market
   in such State telephone exchange service obtained from such company pursuant
   to section 251(c)(4) of the Act with interLATA services offered by that
   telecommunications carrier.

   (b) For purposes of applying section 271(e) of the Act, telecommunications
   carriers described in paragraph (a) of this section may not:

   (1) Market interLATA services and BOC resold local exchange services through
   a “single transaction.” For purposes of this section, we define a “single
   transaction” to include the use of the same sales agent to market both
   products to the same customer during a single communication;

   (2) Offer interLATA services and BOC resold local exchange services as a
   bundled package under an integrated pricing schedule.

   (c) If a telecommunications carrier described in paragraph (a) of this
   section advertises the availability of interLATA services and local exchange
   services purchased from a BOC for resale in a single advertisement, such
   telecommunications  carrier shall not mislead the public by stating or
   implying that such carrier may offer bundled packages of interLATA service
   and BOC local exchange service purchased for resale, or that it can provide
   both services through a single transaction.
