The acronym "ISDN" doesn't appear when I search that file, but almost
all the references are to services defined in other places.

I hope some of the SME's who read this can provide both specifics and
the reasons for the "services" being removed/discontinued.

Just as one example:

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

North Carolina

All services provided under the General Subscriber Services Tariff

All services provided under the Access Services Tariff

All services provided under the General Exchange Guidebook

All services provided under the Private Line Guidebook

All services provided under the Access Guidebook, except AT&T Switched
  Ethernet Service and AT&T Dedicated Ethernet Service found in
  Section E30

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

While we're at it, someone please explain to me how "Ethernet" can be
considered a "switched" service - assuming that Winston Smitch hasn't
amended the definition of the word yet.
