In the LATA data base each switch is specified to be port capable or not. I
think they have to make the switch port capable if they receive a “bona fide”
request.

Not serving the LATA makes sense. They'd have a build out cost to that area's
tandem switch(es).
Not serving a particular CO in a LATA could be that CO is attached to a tandem
(in the case of multiple tandems) that the VoIP carrier doesn't connect to. It
could also mean that there is a high volume of calls with that particular CO
and the cost for them to get a PRI directly to that CO is prohibitive. If you
have over a certain volume to a particular switch, the tandem operator will
often make you connect directly to that switch, reserving tandem switch
capacity.

I've had a VoIP carrier tell me they can't port the number because they can't
serve that LADA or that CO or some such. I never understood why that was an
issue.
I don't think it's been an issue recently.

Contracts are only held against the little guys.
