Folks, Is there a web site out there that provides a map of the united states showing each ILEC and the states within their region (Bellsouth, SBC, Qwest, & Verizon)?

Since Verizontal owns GTE, it's non-trivial. GTE has parts of many many states. (MD is one of the few without same...). ISTM GTE is the sole carrier in Hawaii. Alaska? err..
