15   tariffs implementing the unbundled essential
16   facilities within ninety days of the board's final
17   order adopting such rules.  Such access, use, and
18   interconnection shall be on terms and conditions no
19   less favorable than those the local exchange carrier
20   provides to itself and its affiliates for the
21   provision of local exchange, access, and toll
22   services.  This subsection shall not be construed to

33   interim number portability available on request of a

35   implement provider number portability as soon as the
36   availability of necessary technology makes provider
