(AT&T Divestiture - 1982 Modified Final Judgement) The provision
of one-plus capability to interLATA competitors of AT&T. Customers
should be able to reach the carrier of their choice by dialing 1+
the long-distance number. The MFJ and the FCC require local exchange
carriers to provide equal access (most central offices now have
this capability). Equal Access may also refer to a more generic
concept under which the BOCs must provide access services to AT&T's
competitors that are equivalent to those provided to AT&T.
