LATA to retrieve stored information

from, or file information for storage in,

information storage facilities of such

company that are located in another

LATA.’’ Because BOCs were able to

provide incidental interLATA services

immediately upon enactment of the

1996 Act, they may provide interLATA

information services that fall within the

scope of section 271(g)(4) without

receiving section 271(d) authorization

from the Commission. Since section

271(g)(4) services are not among the

incidental interLATA services exempted

from section 272 separate affiliate

requirements, however, they must be

provided in compliance with those

requirements. To the extent that parties

have argued in the record that

centralized data storage and retrieval

services that fall within section

271(g)(4) either are not interLATA

information services, or are not subject

to the section 272 separate affiliate

requirements, we specifically reject

these arguments.
