The KPN Telecom PSTN Inter-Region Connect Service
is an optional service. This service provides conveyance of calls
that originate in the KPN network from the Regional Access Point
(RAP) in the Access Area where the destined Telco Subscriber is
located, but where Telco has no Point of Presence (PoP), to a RAP
in another Access Area where the Telco does have a PoP.
The Inter-Region Connect Service is available for calls to geographical
numbers and 06760 Internet numbers.
It requires heavy investment on the part of Telcos to create
a no Point of Presence in all twenty Access Areas. The Inter-Region
Connect Service is therefore an important service for parties
that have not created nationwide interconnection.
