NOTE: Where LU means Living Unit. A Living Unit is a street address where CenturyLink
might send a bill and where wireline plant is not far away. A working Living Unit is an
address where CenturyLink now sends a bill for some type of service, not necessarily internet
access service and not necessarily telephony service. A qualified LU is an address where
DSL-based service could be provisioned in a short interval of time.
