Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability 2s-telecom-market-area-lookup-e703ada1
```

Example prompt: What telecom market area covers the coordinates 40.7128° N, 74.0060° W? I need the LATA or rate center info for that location.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to determine the telecom market area, LATA, or rate center for a specific geographic point given only lat/lon coordinates. Ideal for enriching address data with telecom regulatory zones, routing telecom queries by market region, or determining which carrier market applies to a given location — without needing signup or API keys.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required lat or lon query parameters — returns 400 or validation error
- Coordinates out of valid range (lat > 90 or lat < -90, lon > 180 or lon < -180) — schema validation failure
- Coordinates in an area with no telecom market data — may return empty or null result
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required
- Server or upstream data source unavailable — returns 5xx error

## How this service works

Map a US latitude/longitude to its FCC spectrum-licensing geographies — Cellular Market Area (CMA), Basic Trading Area (BTA), Major Trading Area (MTA), Partial Economic Area (PEA), and the BEA/EAG/MEA/REAG economic areas — plus the 2020 Census block FIPS, county, and block population. Keyless, public-domain (FCC). These market areas define spectrum-license boundaries (which CMA/BTA/PEA a point falls in) — distinct from ordinary geocoding, and not derivable by an LLM.

## Output

Returns the telecom market area (such as LATA code, rate center name, or market region) associated with the provided latitude and longitude coordinates — ground-truth geographic telecom zone data.
