includes all wideband, including Exchange Line Wideband and C&WF between 
local central offices and Wideband facilities. It also includes C&WF

service area, interlocal trunks with one or both terminals outside a 
metropolitan service area carrying some exchange traffic, toll

the exchange trunk portion of TWX and WATS access lines the exchange 
trunk portion of private line local channels, and the exchange trunk
