Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 1, October 31, 2024

Section 585-X-3-.30 - Local Directory Number (LDN)

The term Local Directory Number (LDN) does not refer to a telephone subscriber number as published in a local telephone directory, but rather as used here in shall mean:

(a) A unique 10 digit access number that is both known to and provisioned by the service provider that allows two-way voice communication traffic to be routed to and from a particular subscriber and the public switched telephone network (PSTN) or its logical successor.

(b) Given the present evolutionary path of the PSTN toward a network based upon Internet Protocol functionality, as used herein, the term LDN shall also mean a unique Internet Protocol address or similar unique identifier that provides the same essential functionality as does a 10 digit access number.
