Windstream will allow port-outs, but the catch is that you have to be 
directly interconnected with the serving tandem.

No, not "have an interconnection agreement in place" as with some folks 
-- actually be interconnected.

If you can find a CLEC in that LATA that meets Windstream at its tandem 
for that NXX, it should be manageable.

However, as a general rule, porting out of independents is difficult, 
sometimes impossible.
