Presents Bellcore's view of a detailed description of potential Personal Communications Services (PCSs) access services that might be provided by a local exchange carrier in support of a PCS Service Provider (PSP) that implements a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) network based on the EIA/TIA DCS 1900 interim standard IS-652. The potential access services that are described here are the PCSGSM routing service, the PCSGSM database services, and the PCSGSM message transport service.
