The RBOCs use the CSR as their internal record of each USOC / rate
associated with the service/account. It is true that non-RBOC carriers
do not keep as detailed records but it should still tell you all the
services associated with each account number.

Depends on where the CSR is coming from. If coming from an RBOC I’ve always
used it as an inventory of TNs and features. I’m mostly interested in the TNs
so I ensure I don’t miss a number when porting.From non-RBOCs the CSR is
essentially worthless as the information is incomplete or
I guess to back up to a more basic level...
What's the intent of the CSR?
I thought it was for the gaining carrier to verify customer information with
the losing carrier that would be required to port a number before actually
issuing the LSR\port request.
