	Wide Area Telephone Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In U.S. telecommunications, a Wide Area Telephone Service (WATS) is a toll service offering for customer dial-type telecommunications between a given customer [user] station and stations within specified geographic rate areas employing a single access line between the customer [user] location and the serving central office.
		The first inward WATS area code issued was 800, with 888, 877, and 866 area codes being planned and implemented in the 1990s.
		Telephone users within a designated area may call an inward WATS telephone number without having to pay a toll charge - the recipient pays for the calls at a flat rate or other predetermined rate.

	Multi-exchange paging system for locating a mobile telephone in a wide area telephone network - Patent 5153902
		Mobile registration is the process by which a mobile telephone unit becomes listed as being present in the service area of one of the mobile exchanges in a mobile telephone service network.
		Whenever a mobile subscriber moved from one local area to another, its registration in the local area from which the mobile subscriber had just departed was automatically cancelled and a new registration was established in the local area in which the mobile subscriber had just arrived.
		The Yotsutani approach apparently presumes a coverage area that is within the limits of a factory or a corporate headquarters and a location information signal for a specific telephone set which is static in the memory of the control unit.

		We classify these service providers as "other providers of interstate telecommunications" because we find that private network operators that lease excess capacity on a non-common carrier basis are not common carriers or mandatory contributors under the first sentence of section 254(d).
		Telecommunications carriers that provide payphone services must contribute on the basis of their telecommunications revenues, including the revenues derived from their payphone operations, because payphone revenues are revenues derived from end users for telecommunications services.
		Because state universal service mechanisms must be consistent and must not conflict with the federal mechanisms, it is reasonable to conclude that section 254 grants the Commission the primary responsibility and authority to ensure that universal service mechanisms are "specific, predictable, and sufficient" to meet the statutory principle of "just, reasonable, and affordable rates."
