(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.
