Basic Service Features

DADAS provides a CLEC with direct access to BellSouth's Directory Assistance Listing Database, Directory Assistance Search Application, and Database Administration Call Control for the sole purpose of providing a traditional voice directory assistance service. Non-published listings and listings of BellSouth customers requesting to be omitted are not provided.

Basic Service Capabilities And Restrictions

DADAS provides the CLEC's operators with the ability to search all eligible BellSouth listings and all appropriate listings BellSouth obtains from other sources in its database using a BellSouth standard Directory Assistance (DA) search format.

The CLEC is responsible for providing the physical links and facilities required for connecting to the point of availability in Jackson, Mississippi.
